Azure AI Foundry

Azure AI Foundry consultancy

North Peak Cloud is an Azure AI Foundry consultancy that takes organisations from AI pilot to production. We design the Foundry hub and projects, build your first real use case — retrieval-augmented generation, an agent workflow or document intelligence — and wire in the evaluation, guardrails and CI/CD that make it safe to run. You work directly with the architect who does the build.

  • Azure AI Foundry hub & project architecture
  • RAG, agents and document intelligence, production-grade
  • Evaluations, content safety and responsible-AI guardrails
  • A cost model agreed before you commit
  • Reusable accelerator IP and full knowledge transfer

What we do

AI on Azure, done right.

The foundations, guardrails and cost discipline that turn an Azure AI pilot into something you can actually run in production.

AI-ready foundations

Azure AI Foundry hubs and projects, private networking to your models, identity and policy guardrails — the secure base every AI workload needs before it scales.

Cost control for AI & cloud

FinOps for the AI era: token and PTU strategy, model right-sizing, reservations and anomaly detection. We find the waste your invoice is hiding.

Platform engineering

Landing zones as code in Bicep or Terraform, GitOps, policy-as-code and golden paths. Enterprise-grade Azure delivered in weeks, not quarters.

Security & responsible AI

Content filtering, evaluations, data-residency and audit-ready guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 — trustworthy AI you can put in front of customers.

Migration & modernisation

Cloud Adoption Framework migrations and Well-Architected reviews that leave you cheaper, faster and ready for AI — not just lifted-and-shifted.

Senior engineers, direct

You work with the architect who does the build — no account managers, no offshore hand-off, no gatekeeping. Answers in plain English.

How we work

Three ways to start.

Fixed-scope engagements with a clear price and outcome agreed up front — then ongoing cost and platform management if you want it. No day-rate open-endedness.

Why now
The 2016 cloud moment,
for AI.
Azure AI today is where Azure cloud was a decade ago: the organisations that build the right foundations now will compound the advantage for years. The ones that bolt AI on without guardrails will pay for it — in cost, risk and rework. North Peak Cloud gets you on the right side of that line.
Questions

Asked and answered.

What is Azure AI Foundry?+

Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft's platform for building, evaluating and operating generative-AI applications on Azure — organising work into hubs and projects with a model catalogue, prompt and evaluation tooling, content safety and deployment. North Peak Cloud designs and builds production AI Foundry workloads for you.

How do you take an AI pilot to production?+

We start with an AI-readiness review, design a secure AI Foundry foundation (identity, private networking, policy and responsible-AI guardrails), then build your use case with evaluations and CI/CD so it can be run, monitored and trusted — not just demoed.

Do you work outside the UK?+

Yes. North Peak Cloud is a UK Azure consultancy that works remotely with clients across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and the EU, and invoices cross-border.
