Azure Landing Zone Setup
Structured Azure environment following Cloud Adoption Framework. Management groups, governance, networking, and security — the foundation for all Azure projects.
No Azure Project Stands Secure Without a Foundation
Most mid-market companies start with Azure like a blank slate: one subscription, a few VMs, no plan. Wild-growth environments quickly emerge: uncontrolled subscriptions, missing network isolation, no policy compliance, and costs nobody can attribute.
Every subsequent project — VDI migration, backup, AI workloads — suffers from the missing foundation. Retrofitting costs multiples more. Traditional landing zone implementations by system integrators cost EUR 50,000-250,000 and take 4-12 weeks.
With the “Start Small and Expand” approach following Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, you build a solid foundation in 3 weeks — one that grows with your organization.
ACTIVITIES IN DETAIL

3 steps. From start to finished project
How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO
STEP 1
Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment
Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.
STEP 2
Receive your plan and start implementation
Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.
STEP 3
Guided implementation through to completion
Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.
The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.
