Bundled, not siloed
One SOW. Four disciplines.
AI integration, DevOps, security, and Microsoft services delivered by one accountable partner — never four spreadsheets and a finger-pointing exercise.

avalon — deploy
Partner of both
Two platforms.One accountable team.
Most shops are a Microsoft house or an AI shop. We are deliberately both — a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and the Claude Partner Network — so the cloud you run and the AI you put on top of it ship from the same senior team, under one SOW.

Migrations, M365 & Entra hardening, Azure landing zones, Sentinel, and Copilot — deployed the way auditors expect to see them.

The Avalon difference
Three commitments. Every engagement.
Most SMBs juggle a freelancer for AI, an MSP for security, a contractor for DevOps, and a Microsoft reseller for licensing — four vendors blaming each other when something breaks. We're built to replace all four.
Productized, not bespoke
Fixed scope. Fixed fee.
Every package is a bounded scope with a fixed fee and a fixed timeline — quoted once, in writing, before we start. We discount via scope reduction, never rate erosion.
Microsoft-native, audit-credible
The stack regulated buyers trust.
We're earning Microsoft Solutions Partner designations across Modern Work, Security, and Infrastructure — and there's a 25-year EA on the cap table when an auditor walks in.
Service Lines
Four disciplines,one partner.
Each line stands alone — but the value compounds. A typical 18-month journey: M365 hardening → Sentinel/SOC 2 → DevOps retainer → AI rollout — each engagement makes the next one faster and cheaper to deliver.
Productized Packages
Fixed scope. Fixed fee.No surprise invoices.
A small set of fixed-fee, fixed-scope offers that solve the pains we hear most often. Every scope — including what’s not included — is public before the first call.
About Avalon
Two founders.One opinionated philosophy.
Avalon Web Services was founded by two complementary partners — a senior Enterprise Architect with 25 years inside a Tier-1 bank in Saudi Arabia (recently relocated to the US), and a modern AI / DevOps / Security / Microsoft specialist already running a profitable consulting practice. We combine the design judgment of a Tier-1 regulated bank with the speed and price of a boutique.
Our philosophy is simple: SMBs deserve enterprise-grade outcomes — without the enterprise price tag, the enterprise timeline, or the enterprise PowerPoint deck.

Tell us what'skeeping you upat night.
Most engagements start with a Cloud Health Check — one week, full audit, top-10 findings, 90-day roadmap. Many turn into a longer engagement; either way, you walk away with a prioritized plan you own.
