NewOrbit works with Azure developers to review and improve the architecture for new and existing applications in order to get the most benefit from Azure.
There is no one-size-fits-all architecture for cloud-based applications. Every choice has trade-offs in terms of cost and time. We work with you to understand your business requirements and constraints so we can recommend the best fit for your situation, both from a business and a technical perspective.
- Understand your scale and performance requirements and your business constraints.
- Understand your current architecture.
- Suggest a suitable Azure architecture based on your specific situation.
- Help you to plan how to implement this.
Each step is outlined in more detail below, with example questions. We will ask you many more questions during the consultation. Do bear in mind that many of the questions are over the top for many scenarios; we will evaluate the appropriateness with you based on your specific context.
What do you need the system to do, when and how much do you want to spend?
| Area | Example questions |
|---|---|
| Traffic |
|
| Data |
|
| Performance |
|
| Resilience |
|
| Constraints |
|
What, if anything, do you have now?
| Area | Example questions |
|---|---|
| What is your application architecture? |
|
| What does your infrastructure look like? |
|
| What is your code like? |
|
| What monitoring do you have in place? |
|
| What about your team? |
|
As we go through the preceding sections, we will discuss various technology options with you. We usually discover some low-hanging fruit that can be put into place very quickly, as well as other things that will take longer and may end up on a product roadmap. We will help you to estimate the cost/benefit of the different options and prioritise accordingly.
ImplementIf desired, NewOrbit can help you to implement parts or all of the plan:
- We can introduce your team to the selected tools and help you design the solution.
- We can second a Azure developer to your team to pair-program on the initial implementation of a particular technology.
- We can provide you with development and design capacity to help you build parts of the solution.
- We can be your Azure Cloud Solution Provider, providing you with Azure hosting and giving you access to Azure experts and support as needed.

Why Automated Azure Cost Tools Aren’t Enough
by Frans Lytzen | 27/02/2026Automated Azure cost optimisation tools are useful — but they don’t tell the whole story. Especially if you’re building and running your own applications in Azure. Real savings often sit at the architecture and code level, where experience and application insight outperform generic automation.
The AI Adoption Paradox: Why Waiting for Strategy (or Rushing Ahead) Is Holding You Back
by Sean Worthington | 23/02/2026AI adoption often stalls between endless strategy and fragmented experimentation. Instead of choosing one, organisations can evolve both in parallel — building clearer objectives, growing confidence and delivering measurable value along the way.
