Microsoft-centric managed services and cloud migration provider
Ultima is a 30-year-old managed services firm built around Azure, Intune, and Microsoft infrastructure, with active projects spanning cloud migration, finops, and infrastructure-as-code implementation. The tech stack is heavily tilted toward Azure and Microsoft tooling (Graph API, Intune, Windows Update for Business, Microsoft Fabric), with selective use of AWS and GCP — a disciplined approach to multi-cloud that matches their stated focus on cloud optimization and migration. Current hiring spans engineering, security, and sales across UK, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa, suggesting expansion into regulated verticals where they're addressing compliance and cost-management challenges.
Ultima delivers managed services, cloud migration, and AI-powered solutions to mid-market and enterprise customers across private and public sectors. Founded in 1990, the company has evolved from hardware and licensing into a services-led business offering end-to-end cloud transformation (Azure migrations, landing zones, finops), security services (penetration testing, compliance in regulated environments), and infrastructure optimization (well-architected reviews, automation). The stack is anchored in Azure and Microsoft ecosystem tooling, supplemented by open-source and cloud-agnostic automation platforms like Terraform and Ansible. With 201–500 employees and active hiring across four countries, Ultima operates as both a Microsoft License Solutions Provider and a VAR delivering 24/7 managed services.
