Who are your typical customers? Who do you usually work with?

Majority of our successful implementations have come with customers in industries like Equipment Manufacturing, Renewable Energy, Power & Utilities, Oil & Gas, Logistics & Transportation, and Process manufacturing. These implementations have been across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, UAE and APAC. The biggest business benefits in these implementations have been where CXOs, VPs and Directors – across Operations, Finance and Technology – have been directly involved in Roadmap creation & Execution planning.

Is your Azure Consulting team expensive to work with?

We provide a fixed-fee solution, that’s milestone-based. In our consulting model, we love sharing the risks of our customers’ business & projects. Our processes & systems are designed on getting it right the first time. So, if we don’t deliver as per the agreed project milestones, we don’t get paid. Post-implementation, we provide 1-year free warranty – coz we know our solutions work, without fail. Our customers love this. And find their actual costs of ownership pretty cost-competitive, lesser by at least 60%. It’s NOT our model to provide a $50k project budget – that eventually gets delayed by months; has bugs during production use, is costly to add new features, has architecture scalability challenges later, and whose ongoing support is even expensive than the original implementation. If our customers spend $50k – that’s the only cost they incur. Everything else is taken care of by the solutions & processes from our teams, at the same cost.

Most IT companies use “technologies” in their name. You use Consulting. Are you a STAFFING company?

We are a Business Consulting company, that takes up the downstream Technical Implementations to also be done by our in-house teams. Our customers are free to use their own IT teams for solution implementations post consulting phase, while our team focuses on Upstream Consulting activities, providing a detailed Solution Design, Approach, Roadmap & Project plan. Or, like in most cases, we work with their in-house IT teams to jointly implement these Greenfield solutions. We are not a staffing company, and we don’t provide contract resources.

Preferred Azure cloud consulting partner for smart manufacturers

More than 65% of industrial enterprises across the US and Europe work closely with Microsoft products (including Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Dynamics, and more). Today, these enterprises expect innovative machine manufacturers to go beyond connectivity, delivering actionable insights for decision-making, accurate predictions, and intelligent recommendations that ensure business continuity and improve asset efficiency.

Meeting these expectations requires multiple integrated systems that can collect and process large volumes of data over time. This is where a platform-centric approach proves essential, such as Azure PaaS, which offers powerful behind-the-scenes capabilities to enable a faster, more cost-effective, and scalable way of delivering value to industrial clients.

Azure consulting helps industry leaders modernize legacy infrastructure, build scalable data and AI-driven cloud solutions, and migrate workloads to Microsoft Azure. Saviant's Azure consultants help starting from architecture design, cloud migration, IoT data pipelines, to data engineering - all that matters for manufacturing, enterprise, and industrial environments across the US and UK.
