What Seepath Delivers

Managed Azure — Done Differently

Four outcomes our clients rely on — backed by 10+ years as a Direct Microsoft CSP and architect-level Azure expertise.

Cost Efficiency

Clients typically save 25–40% on Azure spend within the first 90 days — and that saving funds the engagement itself.

  • Right-sizing, reserved instances, and continuous waste elimination
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHUB) — 40%+ VM cost reduction via Direct CSP
  • Microsoft AMMP credits and FastTrack funding for eligible workloads

Resilient Operations

24/7 proactive monitoring with IaC-driven environments — we detect and resolve issues before they surface in your inbox.

  • Automated incident response and intelligent alerting via Azure Monitor
  • Every config version-controlled in Bicep / ARM — no undocumented changes
  • Named engineers who know your environment — not a pooled helpdesk

Security & Compliance

Continuous posture management and audit-ready compliance — your security score improves every month, not just at renewal.

  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud + Sentinel — CSPM and SIEM in one practice
  • Continuous HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and NIST policy enforcement
  • Zero-trust architecture and privileged identity management (PIM)

Innovation on Tap

AI, automation, and Azure's latest capabilities — already managed and ready to use, so your team ships features instead of fighting infrastructure.

  • Copilot for Azure and AI Services — deployed, secured, and governed
  • Predictive recommendations and automated tuning via Azure Advisor
  • Low-code automation with Power Platform — integrated into your Azure estate

Selective Partnerships. Deeper Engineering.

We stay deliberately small so every client gets a named engineer who has memorised their architecture and treats the environment as their own. That's not a promise — it's how we've operated since 2014.

Industry Expertise

Built for Regulated, High-Stakes Environments

We don't manage generic workloads. Our clients operate where compliance, uptime, and data integrity are non-negotiable — and they trust us because we understand their world.

Financial Services & Hedge Funds

Low-latency trading infrastructure, SEC & FINRA compliance, encrypted data lakes, and audit-ready environments — built to the standards your prime brokers and regulators expect.

SOC 2 Type II SEC Rule 17a-4 Azure Confidential

Healthcare & Life Sciences

HIPAA-compliant workloads, PHI data governance, clinical application hosting, and Microsoft Defender-backed security posture — for organizations where a data breach is never an option.

HIPAA HITRUST PHI Governance

Fintech & Payments

Real-time payment processing, PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure, fraud detection pipelines, and resilient architecture for platforms where milliseconds and availability define the business.

PCI-DSS Real-Time Processing High Availability

Professional Services

Legal, consulting, and accounting firms managing sensitive client data across distributed teams. Governance-first architecture with strict access controls, DLP policies, and audit trails baked in from day one.

Data Governance Zero Trust DLP

Manufacturing & Distribution

ERP-connected cloud environments, IoT workloads, supply chain data pipelines, and OT/IT convergence — managed securely on Azure with operational continuity as the priority.

IoT/OT ERP Integration Supply Chain

Technology & SaaS

Multi-tenant architecture, CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps, auto-scaling for variable demand, and IaC-driven environments — so your engineering team ships features, not infrastructure tickets.

Multi-Tenant CI/CD IaC / Bicep

Not sure if your industry fits? Every client we work with gets a named engineer — not a ticket queue.

Seepath Advantage

Seepath vs. Other Managed Service Options

Not all managed services are equal. Here's what sets a specialist Azure partner apart from generalist vendors and enterprise consultancies.

Managed / Hosting Vendors

National resellers & hosting providers
  • Reactive monitoring — you report the issue, they respond
  • Manual, undocumented configs — hard to hand off or audit
  • Microsoft reseller — no direct AMMP or FastTrack access
  • Pooled helpdesk — you don't know who you're talking to
  • Generalist coverage — no regulated industry depth
  • One of tens of thousands of accounts
Best for: simple hosted environments with low compliance needs

Large System Integrators

Enterprise consultancies
  • Project-based delivery — they build it, then exit
  • Offshore mixed teams — not the people you interviewed
  • $500K+ minimum engagements — SMBs not the priority
  • 6–12 month timelines before anything is live
  • IaC for projects — not embedded in ongoing managed ops
  • Continuous optimization rarely included post-project
Best for: large enterprises with $500K+ budgets and 12-month timelines

Will Managed Services Pay for Themselves?

Based on our experience, clients typically save:

  • 30-40% through cost optimization (right-sizing, reserved instances, waste elimination)
  • 15-25% through improved uptime (reduced downtime costs and productivity loss)
  • 20-30% through proactive security (breach prevention and compliance)

Example: A client with $50K/month Azure spend saves $15K-$20K/month — paying for Professional tier ($7K/mo) with $8-$13K/month net savings.

2-3x

Typical ROI on managed services investment

Our Pricing Philosophy

Transparent

Fixed monthly fees with no hidden charges or surprise invoices.

ROI-Focused

Most clients save 2-3x our fees through optimization alone.

Risk-Free

SLA-backed service credits if we don't deliver on our commitments.

Note: Pricing varies based on environment complexity, SLA requirements, compliance needs (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS), and service scope. All plans include fully managed monitoring, security management, cost optimization, and regular reporting. Enterprise contracts include volume discounts for multi-year commitments.

What's NOT included: Azure consumption costs (billed directly by Microsoft through CSP), third-party software licenses, or one-time migration/implementation projects (quoted separately).

Managed vs. DIY

Seepath-Managed Azure vs. Self-Managing Azure

What you get with a specialist managed services partner — versus managing Azure in-house.

Capability Seepath Managed Self-Managed
24/7 Azure monitoring & alerting Requires in-house ops team
Proactive cost optimization Manual & reactive
Security policy enforcement & Defender management Security expertise required
Microsoft CSP direct support escalation Standard support tiers only
Azure governance & compliance reporting Custom build required
Patch management & update cycles Internal resource burden
FinOps & Reserved Instance optimisation Expertise-dependent
Access to Microsoft AMMP-funded programs Not available without CSP
Predictable monthly cost Variable, often unpredictable

"Seepath transformed our Azure posture in under 60 days. We went from reactive firefighting to a fully governed, monitored environment. The cost savings in the first quarter alone exceeded the annual managed services fee."
