Identify Hidden Inefficiencies
The Azure bill keeps climbing, nobody has tested failover since it was built, and every architecture question gets answered from memory. A Well-Architected Review replaces hunches with evidence: real workloads scored against Microsoft's five pillars, with a remediation backlog you can start next sprint.
Five Pillars · Two Weeks · One Plan
The Well-Architected Framework is Microsoft's definition of what good looks like on Azure, organised into five pillars: reliability, security, cost optimisation, operational excellence and performance efficiency. A review scores a real workload against all five, which matters because estates are usually strong on the pillar their team cares about and quietly weak on the other four.
Ours is deliberately practical. Read-only analysis of your Azure estate, a handful of workshops with the people who own the workloads, and two to three weeks end to end. The output is a scored assessment and a remediation backlog ranked by impact and effort, so the first sprint of fixes chooses itself.
The findings follow a pattern we see everywhere: compute provisioned for a peak that never comes, single points of failure that have never been tested, alerting that pages nobody, and quick security wins hiding in plain sight. None of it is embarrassing; all of it is fixable, and most of the cost findings fund the rest of the work.
Reviews also make excellent starting points. They qualify for Microsoft funding in many cases, they give a new partner relationship a low-risk first engagement, and they hand your leadership an independent, evidence-based view of the estate before bigger decisions get made.
Reviews grounded in the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework
Azure Advisor and Architecture Centre insights combined with hands-on architectural review, surfacing recommendations across reliability, security, performance and cost.
Resilience planning, failover strategy and disaster recovery assessment that test whether your recovery objectives would survive contact with a real outage.
Savings quantified in pounds rather than percentages, across reservations, right-sizing and idle resources, paired with tuning fixes that improve response times as spend comes down.
Workloads benchmarked against Zero Trust and your compliance requirements, with vulnerabilities ranked by how likely they are to be exploited, not how easy they are to list.
The bottlenecks that make applications feel slow or expensive, traced to their cause, with remediation steps ordered so the first fixes deliver the most relief.
From kick-off to a detailed remediation plan
Well-Architected pillars scored and benchmarked
Findings prioritised by business impact
Disruption to delivery: the review is read-only
Identify concrete savings across reservations, right-sizing, storage tiers, idle resources and licensing with quantified impact.
Stress-test your architecture against failure modes, SLAs and recovery objectives, and prioritise resilience gaps before they bite.
Benchmark workloads against Microsoft Zero Trust, Defender recommendations and industry frameworks, with a pragmatic fix list.
Diagnose throughput, latency and scaling issues across compute, storage and data services, with tuning recommendations that pay back quickly.
Review observability, release practices, on-call and runbooks so day-2 operations do not undermine the platform you have built.
Independent review of a new Azure workload before it hits production, so issues are found in dev rather than at 3am on launch day.
Agree workloads, pillars in scope, stakeholders and the questions the review needs to answer.
Combine Azure Advisor, Defender, Cost Management and hands-on architecture review against the five WAF pillars.
Produce a prioritised, quantified list of findings and a pragmatic remediation plan with owners and effort estimates.
Optionally deliver or co-deliver the remediation work and re-run the review to measure improvement.
The five WAF pillars: reliability, security, cost optimisation, operational excellence and performance efficiency. We apply them to a specific workload or a broader Azure estate, combining Microsoft tooling with hands-on architectural review.
A single-workload review typically runs 2–4 weeks. A broader estate-wide review across dozens of workloads usually takes 4–8 weeks. You get a prioritised remediation plan at the end in either case.
Often, yes. Microsoft offers Azure migration and innovation funds that can partly offset WAR engagements, especially when coupled with a modernisation or migration plan. We help clients apply for and use these where applicable.
Most reviews surface 20–40% cost-reduction opportunities across reservations, right-sizing, storage tiering and idle resources, along with meaningful reliability and security improvements that are harder to quantify but often more valuable.
No. We regularly review estates built by other partners or internal teams. An independent Well-Architected perspective is often the most credible way to understand the real state of a complex Azure footprint.
Yes. We can deliver or co-deliver the remediation with your team, and measure the improvement with a follow-up review – so the recommendations translate into real business outcomes, not shelved slides.

From the very first conversation, Synapx stood out. They didn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they listened, understood our workflows, and constructively challenged our assumptions. Since launch, the difference has been night and day: engagement is up, performance is dramatically better, and our teams now have a single, connected space for learning and communication. I'd recommend Synapx to any organisation looking to get more out of Microsoft technology.

Working with Synapx has been transformative for Mount Anvil. They didn't feel like an external supplier; they became an extension of our team. Their technical expertise in implementing Microsoft Fabric solved our immediate challenges and positioned us for future growth, including AI and machine learning. What truly set Synapx apart was their transparency, commitment, and cost-optimisation through Xscale, making Fabric financially sustainable.

Head of Operations
Their team delivered exactly what we needed, taking time to understand the purpose and specific requirements. By linking our Typeform online surveys with our Raisers Edge database, using Power Automate, they have enabled us to automate our incoming data processes. From our initial enquiry, scoping and delivery, we found them incredibly responsive and very good to communicate with.
