Azure AI Foundry Enablement & Solutions

Stand up Azure AI Foundry capabilities and deliver production-ready AI solutions - platform setup, security, model selection, evaluation, and operational handover.

Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft’s platform experience for building and operating AI solutions, including working with models, building AI apps and agents, and applying safety and responsible AI concepts. Many organisations want to move from experimentation to a repeatable delivery model - with standardised environments, access controls, evaluation, and guardrails.
LW IT Solutions enables Azure AI Foundry as a delivery platform and then uses it to build solutions. We implement a practical foundation (environment design, access controls, networking approach as required, and governance), then deliver pilots and production workloads such as RAG-based chat with data, automation/agent workflows, and integration patterns. You receive a working capability, a documented operating model, and a backlog for continuous improvement - so the platform remains reliable and scalable after go-live.

Talk through your requirements and leave with a clear next-step plan.

Service Overview

Highlights

  • Azure AI Foundry setup designed for real delivery, not demos
  • Governed access and environment structure aligned to your organisation
  • Built-in evaluation and testing patterns for AI changes
  • Support for RAG, copilots, agents, and automation scenarios
  • Clear operational handover for ongoing ownership and support

Business Benefits

  • Faster move from experimentation to production using a standardised AI delivery platform
  • Reduced risk through controlled access, governance, and evaluation built into the platform
  • Clear operating model for building, releasing, and supporting AI solutions
  • Improved reliability and trust through defined testing and monitoring of AI behaviour
  • Reusable foundation that supports multiple AI use cases without rework

Typical use cases

  • Moving from ad-hoc AI experiments to a managed delivery platform
  • Building RAG-based chat or assistant solutions using internal data
  • Developing AI agents or automation workflows with approval controls
  • Need for governance and evaluation before scaling AI usage
  • Multiple teams requiring a shared AI foundation and operating model

Objectives & deliverables

What Success Looks Like

  • Establish Azure AI Foundry as a controlled platform for AI delivery
  • Enable teams to build and operate AI solutions with clear guardrails
  • Reduce risk through evaluation, approval, and monitoring processes
  • Deliver early value through pilots that can scale into production
  • Create a repeatable model for future AI solutions and use cases

What You Get

  • Configured Foundry foundation aligned to your scope and operating model
  • Delivery artefacts: architecture overview, configuration decisions, and governance documentation
  • A working pilot or MVP solution (if included) with acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes
  • Evaluation and test patterns: what is tested, how changes are approved, and how drift is monitored
  • Handover pack: runbooks, ownership model, and a backlog for improvements and scale-out

How It Works

  1. Discovery - confirm outcomes, use cases, constraints (data, security, compliance), and target operating model.
  2. Foundation enablement - implement Foundry environment, access controls, governance, and safety/evaluation patterns.
  3. Pilot build - deliver a scoped solution with measurable success criteria and stakeholder review.
  4. Hardening - improve reliability, governance, monitoring, and change control for production readiness.
  5. Handover - document runbooks, train owners, and establish cadence for continuous improvement.

Engagement Options

  • Foundation Enablement - Stand up Azure AI Foundry with governance and operating model
  • Pilot Delivery - Build a scoped AI solution on top of an existing or new Foundry foundation
  • Platform and Solutions - Foundation enablement plus delivery of one or more AI workloads
  • Advisory Support - Design review and guidance for teams building on Azure AI Foundry
