Impellam Group, a global HR and workforce solutions provider, was operating a complex hybrid IT estate with ageing infrastructure and growing security demands.
They partnered with Advania to design and deliver an Azure-based cloud foundation that would modernise operations, reduce reliance on legacy datacentres, and create a secure, scalable environment to support future expansion.

🚨The challenge
Impellam’s infrastructure relied on a mix of on-premises systems and hosted services that were becoming harder and more expensive to maintain. End-of-support Windows versions, limited scalability, and increasing cyber-security risks created challenges for business-critical applications.
They needed to improve resilience and security while maintaining business continuity across global operations, reduce technical debt, and move to a more flexible cost model.
💡The approach
- Azure Landing Zone architecture
- Datacentre migration to Azure
- Infrastructure-as-Code deployment pipelines
- Azure SQL Managed Instance adoption
- Ongoing managed Azure services
☑️The outcome
- Secure, scalable hybrid IT environment
- Reduced dependency on legacy datacentres
- Improved availability and performance
- Pay-as-you-consume cost flexibility
- Stronger security posture
⚡️Why this matters
Modernising infrastructure is essential for organisations operating globally. This project shows how moving to Azure with the right governance and architecture can reduce risk, improve agility, and enable growth without disruption.
