Execute approved administration tasks remotely, such as Azure resource management, virtual machine and storage changes, virtual network and VPN configuration, access-policy updates, backup and recovery configuration, monitoring updates, troubleshooting, and cost-optimization actions.
Coordinate with client developers, operations teams, security stakeholders, and business owners as needed to validate dependencies and reduce operational risk.

This service includes remote Microsoft Entra administrator support for Azure-based solutions, including creation and management of virtual machines, storage accounts, and other Azure resources. It also includes Azure network connectivity configuration, task-based monitoring review and troubleshooting, access and security policy management, backup and recovery planning, and Azure cost and resource usage optimization.
Microsoft Entra administrator on Demand is delivered remotely. The published scope states that all tasks are performed remotely, so any need for onsite work should be confirmed separately with IT Partner before purchase.
The engagement runs for a 30-day service period, with work billed at $175 per hour on a time-and-materials basis. The specific tasks completed depend on the client's priorities, available access, and approved hours.
Microsoft Entra administrator on Demand is priced at $175 per hour. Because the engagement is time-and-materials, total cost depends on the amount of administrator time used during the 30-day service period rather than a fixed project fee.
This service includes task-based monitoring review and troubleshooting of Azure-based applications and services under the approved time-and-materials engagement. 24/7 support and continuous monitoring are not included by default, but are available as optional extra-cost add-ons delivered through IT Partner's NOC, third-party support partnerships, and Microsoft support escalation channels.
Yes. Microsoft Entra administrator on Demand includes managing Azure costs and optimizing resource usage. Because the engagement is time-and-materials, cost optimization work should be prioritized with IT Partner based on the client’s Azure environment and available hours.
IT Partner is responsible for remote design, implementation, and task-based administration support for Azure-based solutions, including security, availability, and scalability considerations. IT Partner’s responsibilities also include Azure resource management, network connectivity configuration, task-based monitoring review and troubleshooting, access and security policy management, backup and recovery implementation, and Azure cost optimization. 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, and ongoing maintenance are optional extra-cost add-ons, not default deliverables.
The client identifies priorities and approves the order of work, provides timely access to Azure subscriptions and Microsoft Entra ID, assigns a technical point of contact and business approver, communicates change windows and production constraints, and validates completed work from the business perspective.
Yes. The engagement requires an active Microsoft Entra tenant and in-scope Azure subscriptions, approval for remote time-and-materials work, least-privilege administrative access — Azure RBAC and Microsoft Entra ID roles, or Privileged Identity Management activation — and working MFA and remote-access procedures.
Exclusions include onsite or physical hardware work, Azure consumption and licensing costs, fixed-scope project delivery, application code development, large migrations or architecture redesigns, and formal penetration testing or forensics. 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, and ongoing maintenance are optional extra-cost add-ons delivered through IT Partner's NOC, third-party support partnerships, and Microsoft support escalation channels.
Administration tasks are planned to avoid disruption, but network, identity, access-policy, VM, or backup changes can affect production systems. Changes with potential impact are reviewed and approved with the client and scheduled in agreed maintenance windows.
