What business problem is Cloud, Hosting & DevOps intended to solve?

Annex treats Cloud, Hosting & DevOps as part of a wider digital-service problem, not as an isolated output. Cloud and deployment approaches across Azure, AWS and Google environments, selected to fit project needs. Public examples and capability pages reference Drupal, GovCMS, JavaScript, ReactJS, NodeJS, NextJS, Sitecore, SharePoint, Azure, AWS, Google cloud services, Auth0, Stripe, Firestore, Storybook and other technologies. Annex says its technical team architects and builds enterprise systems, websites, apps, intranets, APIs, backend and frontend systems using technology selected for the project rather than promoting one platform. In practical terms, the aim is reliable delivery and operations without unnecessary platform dogma, with the shape of the work determined by the users, systems and delivery context.
