Annex doesn't pick a platform first. In Cloud, Hosting & DevOps, we start with discovery to understand the problem: who uses the system, what tasks they perform, data flows, security needs and existing tech. That helps us identify any constraints that shape the solution. Then we compare platform options against those constraints, considering Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, plus the deployment model that fits your project (greenfield, incremental change, or a hybrid). The goal is reliable delivery and operations, not platform dogma. Where possible, we prefer starting from your current environment and improving it incrementally—often inside existing cloud accounts or deployment pipelines—before proposing a full replace. Our approach draws on real projects, such as a digitisation pipeline built in Azure and integrated with Drupal, to tailor a path that suits you.
