Rise of Telana: Combining Azure and GCP to Drive Applied Innovation

How do you deliver outcomes, no matter the platform?
Everyone has the same tools. The difference is what you do with them.

That’s the ethos behind Telana, the new force born from Ancoris + Sundown Solutions.

This week on Microsoft Mentors, we unpack how Telana is blending Azure and GCP to deliver applied innovation, not just technology.

Because here’s the truth:
✅ Innovation isn’t tech for tech’s sake
✅ Buyers don’t care about cloud loyalty
✅ It’s all about solving real business problems

So… Azure or GCP?
Wrong question.

The most exciting projects in 2025 are multi-platform by design because customers want outcomes, not infrastructure debates.

Telana is delivering those outcomes:

>£1.5M annual savings for a retail client through smarter data
>Real-time clinical environments running seamlessly on GCP
>Strategic AI adoption on both Microsoft and Google stacks

@André Azevedo has seen this play before; from Cloudreach’s 30→1000 headcount growth to building Telana’s brand that’s purpose-built for this next era.

We talked:
➡️ What applied innovation actually looks like in the field
➡️ Why Microsoft + Google is a strength, not a split
➡️ The leadership lessons that shaped Telana’s launch

Are you designing your cloud strategy around platforms or outcomes?
