Azure
Many organizations get stuck on their move to the cloud due to unexpected costs, slow scalability, or an unmanageable environment. And even if Azure is already running, the platform isn't always set up so that a data platform scales smoothly on top of it. Microsoft Azure provides the foundation to work securely and scalably with data, analytics, and AI, provided it's properly designed and managed.
What is Azure?
Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform: a collection of cloud services for storing, processing, and securing data and running applications. You pay for what you use and scale up or down whenever needed, without managing servers yourself. For data and analytics teams, Azure is a natural foundation, because it integrates seamlessly with tools like Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, and with Microsoft Foundry lays the groundwork for your own AI applications. E-mergo is a Microsoft Solutions Partner and builds, hosts, and manages data platforms on Azure.
The benefits of Azure
Scaled to fit demand
We set up your platform so it scales with demand: if data processing runs at night, it scales up and then back down, so you don't pay for capacity that sits idle.
One environment for your entire Microsoft landscape
One environment for storage, processing, analytics, and AI, that connects seamlessly to Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and the rest of your Microsoft landscape.
Security and compliance properly set up
Azure provides the building blocks for data management and access control. We set this up for you, so you have insight and control that aligns with GDPR.
A foundation ready for AI
A foundation that's ready for AI, so you can run predictive models and AI applications on your own data without a separate environment.
Our approach with Azure
An Azure environment only delivers value once it's aligned with what you want to do with it. We start with your biggest pain point and design an architecture that fits your data platform and your existing systems. First we build a Proof of Concept around the most urgent bottleneck, then we scale up step by step, with data management, access control, and cost visibility in place from day one.
We also stay involved after go-live. With delegated Azure management, we take the management of your data platform off your hands: we monitor performance, scaling mechanisms, resource usage, and costs, carry out updates and patches, and flag anomalies before they cause disruption. Because we know the data workloads inside out, we act fast, something a generic managed services provider often can't.
Case: Facilicom
Facilicom Group, one of the largest facility service providers in the Netherlands, runs its data platform on Microsoft Azure. Managing that environment was deliberately entrusted to E-mergo: we designed the Azure architecture and handle the management and monitoring of performance, scalability, and costs. The result: a stable, automatically scalable platform, ongoing cost visibility, and fast support for new data needs.
Discover Azure
We help you put your data, analytics, and AI on a stable and scalable foundation in Azure, aligned with your existing processes and systems. Whether you're just starting your move to the cloud or want more control over an existing environment, we'll look together at where the most gains lie.

FAQ
Is my data safe in Azure?
Security doesn't depend on the platform, but on how you set it up. We work GDPR-compliant, hosted in Europe, and carefully set up data management and access control. E-mergo is certified under ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and NEN 4400-1.
Can you also take over management of our Azure environment?
Yes. Together with Digital Survival Company, we take over full Azure management: from infrastructure and network management to the data workloads that E-mergo knows better than anyone, such as your TimeXtender platform, Qlik environment, and underlying data platforms. We start with an analysis of your current environment, identify improvement points around performance, cost, and security, and then take over management and monitoring, so your environment keeps running stably and problems are caught early.
Does Azure work with Power BI and Microsoft Fabric?
Yes. Azure connects seamlessly to Power BI and Microsoft Fabric and to the rest of your Microsoft landscape. That brings storage, processing, analytics, and reporting together in one environment.
