AZURE MANAGED IT SERVICES

Your Azure environment, managed by BEMO's dedicated security team.

Azure gives you flexibility and scale at a real cost: without proper governance and oversight, misconfigurations and sprawl happen fast.

Organizations commonly struggle with:

  • Misconfigurations that create security vulnerabilities
  • Lack of governance across subscriptions and resources
  • Unexpected or uncontrolled cloud costs
  • Limited visibility into system activity and risks
  • Difficulty maintaining secure configurations and compliance

What BEMO's Azure Cloud Managed Services Include

BEMO is a Microsoft-focused MSP delivering Microsoft Azure managed services, which means your environment isn't a side project for a generalist IT team.

A dedicated group of security and cloud engineers handles posture monitoring, governance enforcement, patch management, and cost optimization on an ongoing basis, so your team doesn't have to.

  • Reduce Azure security risks
  • Improve Secure Score
  • Enforce governance best practices
  • Monitor usage and optimize spend
  • Continuous oversight from Azure experts

BEMO Managed Azure provides continuous management of your Azure environment so it stays secure, governed, and optimized.

Azure Virtual Desktop Is Available as an Add-On

BEMO Managed Azure covers your full Azure environment - security posture, governance, cost management, and compliance. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is one resource type that lives inside that environment, and BEMO offers it as a standalone add-on for organizations that need cloud-hosted desktops.

With AVD as part of your Managed Azure plan, BEMO handles host pool management, auto-scaling based on session activity, RBAC, Defender for Cloud integration, and session health monitoring, all within the same governance structure that covers the rest of your Azure subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

The top questions we get about Managed Azure as a service for small businesses:

  • What are Azure managed IT services?
    Azure managed IT services are a model in which a third-party provider takes over the ongoing management of your Microsoft Azure environment. This covers security monitoring, governance, patch compliance, cost optimization, and reporting, tasks that would otherwise require dedicated in-house cloud engineers.

  • What is the difference between ASM and ARM in Azure?
    ASM (Azure Service Manager) is the older, classic deployment model for Azure resources. ARM (Azure Resource Manager) is the current model, and the one BEMO works within exclusively.

  • Does BEMO's Azure managed IT service include Azure Virtual Desktop?
    Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is available as an add-on to BEMO's Azure managed IT services. Managed Azure covers your full subscription: security posture, governance, cost, and compliance.

  • How does BEMO compare to hiring an in-house Azure engineer?
    A single Azure engineer costs $84K–$132K+ per year, plus time for hiring and onboarding, and that one person can't provide 24/7 coverage, compliance expertise, and manage your full security posture simultaneously.

  • Can Azure Managed be applied only to selected resources within a subscription?
    No. BEMO's Azure Managed IT services apply at the full subscription level.
