Azure Managed Services in the UK for Energy & Utilities

Proactive Azure management that keeps your energy company running without interruption.

Fully Managed

We handle every aspect of your Azure environment — from provisioning and patching to performance tuning and incident response.

Security First

Continuous security monitoring, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting keep your Azure estate protected around the clock.

Cost Optimisation

We actively right-size resources, leverage reserved instances, and eliminate waste to keep your Azure spend under control.

Energy Companies depend on SCADA, OSIsoft PI, and energy trading platforms to deliver results every day. When operational technology vulnerabilities and regulatory penalties occurs, productivity and client confidence suffer. Managing Azure infrastructure internally diverts attention from your core energy company operations and requires expertise that is difficult to recruit and retain.

Cloudswitched delivers fully managed Azure services specifically for UK energy companies. Our team handles proactive monitoring, patching, and optimisation of your Azure environment, freeing your staff to focus on serving clients. We monitor your SCADA, OSIsoft PI, and energy trading platforms integrations around the clock, resolve issues proactively, and ensure your Azure environment meets Ofgem, HSE, and environmental regulations standards at all times.
