Procuring Microsoft Azure directly from Microsoft gives organizations access to the platform but leaves them to deal with licensing complexity, cost optimization and technical implementation without having dedicated support to help. For enterprises that want to get the most out of their investment in the cloud, partnering with a qualified Azure reseller converts a transaction into a strategic relationship that creates measurable value.
Intwo is a multi-tier Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) with Azure Expert MSP certification, combining procurement capabilities together with extensive technical know-how across the Microsoft ecosystem. When you source Azure through Intwo you get more than competitive pricing, you get a partner who is invested in your success from initial deployment through ongoing operations.
Our approach is fundamentally different to resale of commodities. We act as an extension of your IT organization and provide the guidance, support and optimization services that will ensure your deployment of Azure delivers the business outcomes that you intended rather than another underutilized technology expense.
Many organizations look at pricing, and only pricing, initially when it comes to evaluating an Azure cloud reseller. While competitive rates are important, the true value of qualified reseller partnership is revealed through capabilities that go far beyond procurement.
As a Microsoft Azure reseller with all Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, Intwo has a technical depth that commodity resellers cannot match. Our engineers hold advanced certifications in all areas of Azure infrastructure, security, data, and application development. This expertise is translated into direct benefit – faster migrations, more secure configurations and optimized architectures that reduce the long term costs.
The partnership model also offers accountability that is missing in direct procurement. When problems arise, you have a team on your side who understand your environment and have your success at the forefront of their thoughts. This relationship-based approach is in stark contrast to the support ticket queues that define direct vendor interactions.
Enterprise Azure deployments are frequently spread across multiple subscriptions, resource groups and cost centers. Managing this complexity through direct procurement introduces administrative burden and lacks transparency of spending.
Working with an Azure reseller like Intwo consolidates your Azure billing into structured invoices aligned with your financial processes. We offer in-depth cost allocation reporting, budget tracking against forecasts, and spending alerts to keep finance teams in the loop without the need for Azure portal expertise.
For organizations that need specific payment terms, committed spend structures or multi-year agreements, our CSP model offers the flexibility that direct procurement does not have. This financial flexibility is especially useful for enterprises that manage cloud investments across business units or geographic locations.
Direct Azure procurement includes Microsoft support, however, enterprise organizations will often find standard support tiers do not meet their operational requirements. Response times, escalation procedures and engineer expertise vary a lot depending on support level-and the premium support comes at a huge cost.
As your Azure cloud reseller, Intwo offers integrated support that combines the proficiency of an experienced purchaser and the technical depth. Our team is aware of the licensing repercussions and technical aspects of your Azure decisions. When problems do occur, you are talking directly with engineers that know your environment as opposed to having to explain your situation to a new support person every time.
This integrated model helps to speed up resolution of problems and to ensure that interactions with support contribute to continued improvement as opposed to just helping to alleviate immediate symptoms.
Azure licensing includes many SKUs, commitment options and pricing models that offer opportunities to optimize – and be derailed by – enterprise buyers. Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Hybrid Benefit, and Dev/Test pricing are all great options for savings if applied properly, but incorrectly applied they can cost more or expose for compliance reasons.
Our licensing specialists use your specifications on workload characteristics, usage patterns, and growth projections to recommend optimal commitment structures. We follow up on utilization relative to commitments and adjust recommendations as your environment changes. This active management approach is usually much more effective, in terms of cost savings, than default consumption pricing.
Beyond Azure compute and storage, we optimize your broader Microsoft licensing portfolio. Many organizations maintain redundant licenses or miss entitlements that could reduce costs. Our full licensing reviews identify these opportunities and get you full value from existing investments.
Organizations often hire an Azure cloud reseller when cloud migration efforts are undertaken. Intwo’s migration abilities go far beyond procurement facilitation – we offer end-to-end migration services that ensure successful migration from on-premises infrastructure or other cloud platforms.
Our migration methodology starts with comprehensive assessment with tools such as Azure Migrate and our proprietary CloudSCAN solution. We inventory existing workloads, understand dependencies, assess cloud readiness, and develop migration strategies that reduce risk and business disruption.
Execution is based on tried and true runbooks developed with hundreds of enterprise migrations. We take care of the technical complexity of rehosting, replatforming, or refactoring applications whilst keeping stakeholders informed by having structured project governance. Post-migration validation is done to ensure workloads are operating as expected before taking the source systems off-line.
Procurement is the starting point of your Azure journey and not the destination. As a Microsoft Azure reseller with managed services capabilities, Intwo supports your environment throughout its lifecycle.
Our Cloud Managed Ops services consist of 24/7 monitoring, incident response, patch management and continuous optimization. We keep your Azure environment at enterprise standards and keep your internal teams free to work on business differentiating initiatives rather than infrastructure maintenance.
For organizations craving greater partnership, our managed services combine security operations, compliance management and strategic advisory services. This comprehensive approach ensures your Azure investment stays in line with ever-changing business needs and technology capabilities.
Enterprise Azure deployments need security configurations that address organizational policies, regulations and threat landscapes. Default settings seldom meet these requirements and poor configurations are a source of vulnerability enrollment and are actively exploited by sophisticated attackers.
Intwo builds security-first Azure architectures that are aligned with Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and known standards of compliance. We set up identity and access management, network security, data protection and threat detection as befits your risk profile. Ongoing security monitoring detects configuration drift and developing vulnerabilities before they are incidents.
For regulated industries, we define the mapping of Azure controls to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and regional data protection regulations. Our documentation and evidence collection helps meet audit requirements without using internal resources.
Intwo is an Azure Expert MSP – the highest managed service designation from Microsoft. Fewer than one percent of partners in the world attain this certification, denoting validated excellence in cloud operations and security.
We hold all Microsoft Solutions Partner designations in the areas of Infrastructure, Data & AI, Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security – allow us to provide holistic support for your entire Microsoft ecosystem.
Operations that reach across 40+ countries will give you global reach with local expertise. Follow-the-sun support coverage means your Azure environment will always have some attention no matter when the issues happen.
Intwo’s 25+ year history of supporting enterprise technology means that we recognize the dynamics of organizations, change management issues, and integration complexities that affect cloud success.
An Azure reseller relationship brings value that goes beyond procurement through integrated expertise, individualised support and active optimisation. Direct purchases bring platform access without the benefit of having an organization manage licensing complexity, implementation concerns, and cost management.
Qualified Microsoft Azure resellers such as Intwo offer a combination of competitive pricing with technical guidance based on deep Azure knowledge with enterprise experience in deployment. You receive dedicated support from engineers that know the environment rather than generic support from rotating support personnel. Additionally, reseller partnerships provide flexibility with finances such as consolidated billing, customizable payment terms and committed spend structures that reduce enterprise procurement processes and enhance cost visibility across business units.
As a multi-tier Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider with a substantial amount of Azure consumption in our client base, Intwo has access to pricing tiers not available to smaller resellers or direct purchasers. Our licensing specialists maximize your unique deployment with Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Azure Hybrid Benefit, and other programs that lower costs of consumption.
We continuously monitor utilization against commitments and adjust recommendations as usage patterns evolve. Beyond procurement pricing, our optimization efforts typically deliver additional savings through architecture changes, and elimination of unused resources. The combination of competitive base pricing and active cost management ensures that you get maximum value from each Azure investment dollar.
Yes, it is simple and very common for organizations to move from a direct procurement approach to a reseller relationship to enable them to take advantage of better support and optimization capabilities. The migration process maintains existing subscriptions, configurations, and workloads – it is only the billing relationship that changes.
As your new Azure cloud reseller, Intwo takes over for the licensing management, integrated support, and optimization practices for better cost efficiency. Many clients find that savings from active management make up for perceived pricing differences in valuation equity during the first quarter. We manage the administrative shift seamlessly, with no disruption to production work loads and laying the foundation for the partnership to deliver value on an ongoing basis.
Our support model combines licensing expertise with rich technical capabilities throughout the Azure platform. Standard support is available for subscription management, billing questions and licensing questions. For clients who have managed services agreements, support is increased to 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, incident response, patch management and performance optimization.
Our engineers hold advanced Azure certifications and maintain current knowledge through constant training and hands-on experience in various enterprise environments. Escalation paths allow access to specialized expertise in complex cases. Unlike tiered vendor support which charges premium rates for faster response, our partnership model ensures your issues are given appropriate attention based on impact not support tiers purchased for support.
Absolutely. Migration services represent the core services that distinguish Intwo from the commodity resellers. Our migration methodology includes the assessment, planning, execution and validation phases based on hundreds of enterprise engagements. We use Azure Migrate, our proprietary CloudSCAN assessment tool and tried and tested runbooks to ensure successful transitions from on-premises infrastructure or other cloud platforms.
Migration services integrate seamlessly with procurement- we right size your initial Azure footprint based on workload requirements not theoretical estimates. Post-migration, our managed services keep your environment optimized, and that doesn’t end. This end-to-end approach will ensure your Azure investment delivers what you want rather than introducing new technical debt.
We transform complex Azure consumption into structured financial reporting according to the enterprise requirements. Through consolidated invoicing we unite various subscriptions and groups of resources in a unified billing process that makes accounts payable processes easier. Through detailed cost allocation, we break down spending by business unit, project, environment, or custom dimensions your finance team needs.
Our experts provide monthly summaries that highlight spending trends, budget variance, and optimization opportunities that were identified during the period. Real-time dashboards and configurable alerts keep stakeholders informed without the need to access the Azure portal. For organizations that have specific payment term requirements, or that have an interest in making multi-year commitments, our CSP model provides flexibility that cannot be satisfied with direct procurement. This holistic financial management means less administrative oversight and better visibility and control of costs.
Security expertise distinguishes qualified resellers from procurement only providers. Intwo implements security-first Azure architectures based on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and proven compliance standards. We set up identity management, network security, encryption, and threat detection based on your organizational policies and regulations. Through ongoing security monitoring via Microsoft Defender for Cloud we help identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and threats that need attention.
For regulated industries, we map Azure controls to specific compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR. Our documentation practices and evidence collection are aligned to the audit requirements and minimise internal resource requirements. This integrated approach to security makes sure your Azure environment is at enterprise standards from the initial deployment to running the environment.
Yes, many organizations operate on hybrid architectures that connect Azure to on-premises infrastructure or other cloud platforms. Intwo’s expertise extends to such integrated environments, which provide cohesive management across technology boundaries. For hybrid deployments, we set up Azure Arc, site-to-site connectivity, and identity federation that allow seamless workload portability.
While Azure is our first area of focus as a Microsoft Azure reseller, we know the integration patterns and operational considerations hybrid and multi-cloud environments require. Our approach ensures that your Azure components get expert attention while ensuring coherent operations across your complete infrastructure landscape rather than having management silos that cause more complexity and risk.
Rest assured. We've got you.
