Case Study: Douglas achieves secure cloud governance and faster Azure onboarding with Cloudreach and Microsoft

Cloudreach Helps Beauty Company Develop a Governance Framework to Improve and Scale Its Application Infrastructure

Douglas, a leading premium beauty retailer in Europe, faced the challenge of scaling its new commerce platform as part of its omnichannel strategy. To support its transformation into a beauty platform, the company needed to develop a governance framework for its Microsoft Azure cloud environment to improve security, increase efficiency, and control costs. Cloudreach was engaged to address these needs for a secure landing zone, effective network design, and a governance framework based on Azure best practices.

Cloudreach implemented a comprehensive Azure governance framework for Douglas, which included setting up a new landing zone, enforcing policies, standardizing AKS clusters with Terraform, and integrating identity management. The solution provided a blueprint for infrastructure, security, and operations. As a result, Douglas successfully migrated its first batch of stores to the new platform on time and its team rapidly built expertise in managing Azure and Kubernetes.
