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.
