The right Technology Ally can be a game-changer for your organization. Navigating the complexities of Azure, optimizing costs, ensuring security, and staying ahead of technological advancements require expertise and experience.  

Here are five reasons why having the right Azure Technology Ally — like Compugen — can make all the difference in your cloud journey.

1. Expertise + Experience

Managing an Azure environment without a dedicated Technology Ally can be challenging due to the lack of in-depth knowledge and expertise. Azure Public Cloud offers many unique tools and services that differ significantly from traditional on-premises data centers. Understanding and leveraging these tools effectively requires specialized training and experience. 

At Compugen, we have invested in cloud-trained personnel who bring ideas to fruition quickly and efficiently. Our team has developed a comprehensive library of knowledge blueprints, allowing us to use proven solutions as building blocks for your unique requirements.  

With the right Technology Ally, you can avoid the steep learning curve and high costs associated with training your existing team. 

Our expertise helps prevent costly mistakes. For instance, a client concerned about security risks after migrating to Azure Files reached out to us following a news story about a major security breach. Compugen swiftly implemented Microsoft Defender for Storage, enhancing the client’s security posture and mitigating potential threats. This proactive approach saved the client from potential data breaches and associated costs. 
 

2. Cost Optimization 

Optimizing cloud environments to manage costs effectively is crucial. Compugen’s Azure Environment Health and Risk Assessment service goes beyond standard Azure Cost Management reports, providing a detailed evaluation of your Azure estate. We use a blend of proprietary IP and expert analysis to uncover hidden cost-saving opportunities.  

Real-Life Savings

One of our clients achieved significant cost savings through our comprehensive optimization strategy. By analyzing performance data and recommending adjustments to underutilized or over-provisioned resources, we helped the client reduce their Azure costs while maintaining optimal performance and security. Continuous monitoring and optimization services ensure these savings are sustained over time. 
 

3. Enhanced Security 

Security is a top priority for organizations leveraging Azure. Compugen employs a multi-layered security approach, including robust identity and access management, continuous security monitoring, and advanced threat protection. Our Azure Environment Health and Risk Assessment service includes a thorough security review to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. 

For instance, by implementing Microsoft Defender for Cloud, we provide real-time threat protection and security analytics. This helps detect and respond to potential threats promptly, ensuring our clients’ Azure environments are protected against modern cyber threats. 
 

4. Ongoing Support + Adaptation 

Cloud environments are dynamic in a constant state of evolution. Compugen offers ongoing support and periodic reviews to ensure your Azure infrastructure continues to meet your needs and adapts to changing business requirements. Our proactive approach includes regular assessments and updates to security configurations, helping you stay ahead of emerging threats and evolving best practices. 

We believe in a human-centered approach to technology. By educating our clients’ staff on security best practices and potential threats, we help create a culture of security that extends beyond the technology itself. Our collaborative workshops engage key stakeholders to understand their business goals and challenges, ensuring our recommendations are tailored to your specific needs. 
 

5. Strategic Partnership 

At Compugen, we believe that "Partner is a verb." We are relentlessly curious and driven to make a difference. Our collaborative approach and application of best practices and frameworks ensure we uncover potential areas of improvement and unmet needs effectively. By partnering with us, you can confidently navigate your Azure journey with a trusted advisor by your side. 

We deliver experience by design, thinking differently to help you realize new possibilities. Compugen’s proactive engagement and the latest security technologies help clients strengthen their Azure deployments, demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding your digital assets. 

Conclusion 

Choosing the right Azure technology ally is crucial for maximizing the benefits of your cloud investment. Compugen’s expertise, cost optimization strategies, comprehensive security solutions, continuous improvement efforts, and strategic partnership model make us the ideal ally for your technology journey. Let us help you dream, design, and deliver on your cloud aspirations. 

Technology is the conduit, but our people are the connection. With Compugen by your side, you can unlock the full potential of Azure and drive your business forward.
