Governance Model Streamlines Azure Environment Management
Key outcomes
Kuopion Energia received an Azure governance model that enables controlled adoption and management of cloud-based datacenter services.
The governance model improves the manageability of the environment and clarifies how services should be deployed and maintained.
The model increases system vendors’ understanding of how Kuopion Energia’s environments operate and supports partners in performing maintenance.
The challenge
Kuopion Energia needed a clear and structured way to manage its Azure environment. Without a governance model, the Azure environment would become difficult to manage, with inconsistent practices and a lack of clarity on how services should be deployed and maintained. The company also required a way to ensure that new project proposals aligned with its environment.
“The governance model project went really well and smoothly. We held a few specification meetings together with your consultant, after which the consultant did most of the work, and finally we finalized the model together.”
“The governance model has increased system vendors’ understanding of how our environments operate. They can see the implementation approach directly in the governance model.”
“We needed a partner who maintains and develops our environment. Microsoft develops the environment at such a tremendous pace that with our own resources we cannot keep up with that development. Context& was a natural choice to continue the work. We have been very satisfied with how things have been handled. Context&’s specialists have been very proactive and have suggested new features as Microsoft releases them. The continuous services have matched our needs very well.”
The solution
Context& implemented an Azure governance model for Kuopion Energia, covering areas such as security descriptions, naming conventions, deployment practices, monitoring, and access-level management. Alongside the governance model, Context& also built an Azure environment for the company. Kuopion Energia continues to use Context&’s Advisory services for ongoing maintenance and development.
