Description Our client has been through a series of reorganizations throughout the last year + and have been trying to identify their next step within their IT environment and organization. Currently, they have folks who lean towards being more accustomed to their previous 'on prem' setup or they are all cloud based in their experiences, so they are looking to bring in an outside Azure Engineer who knows the core products - app gateways, firewalls, allocation services, etc. (they are not using anything off the wall or customized) and can help 'illustrate the unknown' environment for the team. Their environment has already been stood up for the most part, but they are in need of some 'outside eyes' in order to make sure they are using their Azure capabilities to the fullest.

Someone who could assist with insight and visibility of analytics into the environment - would come second, but would be helpful as well.
