ML Technical Advisory
Our consultants will work with your team to understand your business context, data, and desired outcome for the most effective machine learning solution.
Data has quickly become one of an organization’s most valuable assets. However, few organizations have been able to make the leap from laggards to leaders that creates value through and from, their data.
One of the reasons for this is that some organizations are still pursuing siloed, manual reporting rather than committing to integrating and automating their data. This has caused their data and analytics professionals to spend the majority of their time on data extraction, validation, and transformation, adding little value to the business, rather than working on creating meaningful data–driven insights.
To help organizations accelerate their data transformation, Henson Group has helped large enterprises build out their data lakes and data warehouses to support automated operation data processing and reporting across their business. Helping their analysts, developers, and data scientists to focus on those activities that matter most to the business.
Cognitive Services brings AI within reach of every developer without requiring machine-learning expertise. All it takes is an API call to embed the ability to see, hear, speak, search, understand, and accelerate decision-making into your apps.

Azure IoT
Shift to value with IoT
IoT is quickly entering into its next evolution. Thanks to cloud computing, the use of IoT now goes well beyond sci-fi movies. IoT is embedded in sensors in clothing, factory floor equipment, pharmaceutical processing and driverless cars. IoT is past the device stage and is now moving into making use of the data gathered from specific IoT devices - otherwise known as IoT Edge.
With intelligence gathering, IoT delivers enormous untapped opportunity. Businesses can use IoT to identify early warning patterns, monitor a person’s health, track production levels and quickly respond without physician intervention. However. most organizations have stockpiled their data instead of mining it. That means they’re missing out on the insights it can provide to transform customer experiences, optimize operations, modernize employee experiences and create new business opportunities.
Focus on your goals – not just the sensors and data
We can help develop and optimize your IoT strategy through design-led approaches, keeping you focused on your end goals, rather than just the sensor or the data. We can help you integrate and use sensor data in your business processes to transform how you work. Whether you’re thinking of using IoT to build a predictive maintenance solution, control office environments, drive operational excellence in manufacturing processes or embrace IoT Edge, we can help.
Realize the benefits of IoT
Wherever you are on your digital transformation journey, IoT can help create lift for your organization in many ways:
-
Increase operational efficiencies and quality
-
Shift to predictive and proactive maintenance
-
Create new business models driven by AI plus IoT
-
Round out theoretical data scenarios with real-world sensor data
-
Increase yield and production
-
Add monitoring services to your own portfolio
-
Join the smart device home revolution
How to get started with IoT
It’s not about the internet of some things, but the internet of everything – communicating, planning and being proactive to find your next business opportunity. Get started on your IoT strategy with one of our innovation or design-led workshops. Validate your IoT idea with our proof-of-concept approach. Transform your business using our expertise in digital technologies and integration to design, deploy and manage your IoT ecosystem.

Your Azure environment changes constantly. Engineers spin up and down new instances, change security groups, and experiment with new Azure services. So how do you make sure that your cloud doesn’t turn into the Wild West? We recommend you conduct a well-architected Review every 12-18 months. This is a systematic approach to evaluating Azure architectures and can help you identify and fix potential issues with your environment. It’s based off our Azure framework, which is a comprehensive set of best practices.
Operational excellence is the ability to run and monitor systems that deliver business value and continuously improve supporting processes and procedures. Here are the six design principles:
-
Perform operations as code
-
Annotated documentation
-
Make frequent, small, reversible changes
-
Refine operations procedures frequently
-
Anticipate failure
-
Learn from all operational failures
During the well-architected review, a cloud expert will review your workload using the well-architected tool against the five pillars. Once the review is completed, your company will receive videos and documentation related to Azure best practices, a report summarizing your workload review, and a dashboard where you can view the results of workload reviews across the organization. You can then use the detailed findings to remediate issues and improve your infrastructure according to Azure best practices.
Unlike other well-established security standards, the review tackles architectural best practices, cost efficiency, and other principles not traditionally evaluated in formal audits. Logicworks recommends the framework because it codifies and consolidates best practices across ITIL, Agile, and DevOps. It covers more than how to build a good Azure architecture. It also shows you how you should maintain it.

Migrations
If your company is looking to migrate to Azure, our migration practice helps customers migrate from on-premise VMware/Hyper-V, Colo such as Rackspace, or other clouds like AWS to a Microsoft Azure Datacenter or Azure Stack Infrastructures. This team also helps clients migrate existing workloads in Azure IaaS to Azure PaaS including SQL Server to Azure SQL Database, SQL SSIS to Data Factory, SQL SSRS/Tableau to PowerBI, Data Warehouses to Cosmos DB, Azure SQL Database Tables to Data Lake, and many others.
Azure
Optimizations
For current or recent Azure clients, our Optimization Team reviews your existing setup and makes clear, actionable recommendations to improve its performance, security, and affordability. Our suggestions are also based on Microsoft’s latest Best Practice guidance. In addition to performance and cost optimization assessments, we offer Azure assessments for optimizing storage and adding high availability. Our optimization toolset involves both graphical and automated solutions that interact with Azure.
01 OUR DEVELOPED DASHBOARD
Our internally developed dashboard is where it all starts. Aggregating a simple cost view with the recommendations across IaaS and PaaS resources, shows how much savings is possible in spending.
02 SUITE OF ON-DEMAND
Non-production servers need to be online only when employees are actively working on them. We created a suite of on-demand and scheduled tools which allows you to turn off or de-allocate over 70 percent of the time, which is a direct cost reduction.
03 OUR SERVERS
Azure provides the ability to quickly change the size of a server with a simple reboot. Dropping the size and cost of a virtual machine by more than half, at large scale, lets you to quickly use the flexibility of the cloud to recapture IT spending.
Azure Data & AI
If data is the new oil, machine learning is the engine that powers the creation of value from this data. It uses data on what has happened in conjunction with complex, well-studied mathematical algorithms to predict what will happen and why, enabling smarter, faster, and data-driven decisions across an organization.
Machine Learning has helped different teams reinvent themselves, resulting in sales and marketing driving high engagement and lowering customer acquisition costs, supply chain reducing lost sales and excess inventory, and operations increasing asset uptime and minimizing maintenance costs. However, the task of delivering machine learning solutions across the business is no easy feat. Few organizations have the in-house know-how and the ability to develop the cross-functional teams necessary to succeed.
As an Azure Expert MSP, we have been helping large enterprises successfully build and implement machine learning solutions across their business to realize a measurable ROI.
