Company Overview

Azaleos Corporation is a leading alternative to Office 365 and one of the largest global suppliers of flexible remotely managed email, collaboration and unified communications services available in private cloud, on-premise or mixed deployment architectures. Azaleos operates two state of the art, SAS 70 certified network operating centers (one in Seattle and one in Charlotte) which serve as an extension of our customers’ IT departments.  Azaleos’ 24x7 services for managed Exchange, managed SharePoint, managed Active Directory, and managed Lync servers allow enterprise organizations to create the perfect collaboration cloud on their terms while improving availability, security and performance and reducing maintenance time and costs. 

The unique combination of people, process and technology allow Azaleos to provide industry-leading managed Exchange, managed SharePoint and managed Lync services that are second to none.  Azaleos helps IT to do what they do best by filtering out distractions and reducing complexity.   The Azaleos solution enables IT to do more with less and beyond controlling costs, creates increases in agility as well as noticeable protections from Exchange, SharePoint and Lync failure:

  • People: Azaleos personnel will operate as a seamless extension of your IT staff.  All of our people are full-time employees of the company and 100% on-shore.  Because of our laser-focus on the messaging/collaboration/UC space, all of our people are experts in managed Exchange, managed SharePoint or managed Lync. Most data centers only know how to manage data centers – at Azaleos you have messaging, collaboration and UC experts handling the management.

  • Process: Azaleos is a managed services company --- full stop. We are not a consulting firm that also happens to do some managed services on the side. We focus on highly transparent Azaleos processes that protect our customers and Azaleos from the issues that can and do occur when change is not managed. We handle triage, issue tracking, project management, monitoring response, and constantly solicit customer feedback.

  • Technology: The patented AzaleosX technology platform  was purpose-built to monitor and manage big, complex, and distributed messaging and collaboration systems and to protect those systems (i.e. meet audit and SAS-70 security requirements) while maintaining the performance levels required by the business.  Our IT solutions facilitate compliance with PCI, HIPAA, SOX, COBIT and ITIL.

Over the years, Mediq’s rapid growth through multiple acquisitions resulted in a variety of email and Active Directory (AD) systems, creating a technology management nightmare.  “Since 2010, at the start of the migration project, we’ve acquired seven companies and grown by more than 1,300 users. Obviously, we needed a system to accommodate fast and easy migration," said Leo Witte, Manager IT.  Click here to read the Case Study.

Testimonial

"With Azaleos, I know what my costs are going to be for the next year to get all that expertise, and we have 24/7 access to people who know Exchange way better than we would be able to. I can take a vacation, and anyone in my department with any level of expertise of Exchange can call Azaleos. It’s better than sitting on the phone for half a day with Microsoft.”

– John Schaffer, Director of Information Technology, Greenhill and Company

Private Cloud Collaboration More Affordable than Office 365

Azaleos announced the release of a report by Osterman Research that compares the cost of ownership for private cloud and public cloud deployments of messaging and collaboration systems. The research found that private cloud services were on average 20% cheaper than Office 365 and 1% cheaper than on-premise deployments. For basic configurations, however, public cloud services were 21% cheaper than private cloud services and 36% cheaper than their on-premise cousins.
