Flagstone

Bottom line up front

• Flagstone’s cash platform must be always available, secure and compliant, as advisers and clients rely on it to access a wide range of deposit accounts and manage large cash balances.

• Growcreate migrated Flagstone’s platform to Microsoft Azure, delivering a secure, compliant and disruption‑light move that protected data integrity and business continuity.

• Following migration, Growcreate provides 24/7 support and maintenance, proactive monitoring and Azure managed services to keep the platform stable, performant and ready for growth.

• The partnership gives Flagstone a resilient Azure foundation, dependable 24/7 support and the flexibility to keep improving the platform as its needs evolve.

The challenge

Flagstone needed to move core platform workloads to Microsoft Azure to improve resilience, security and scalability, without disrupting day‑to‑day operations for advisers and clients. Any downtime or migration errors could have affected access to deposit accounts and damaged trust in a platform built on safety, simplicity and smart cash management.

At the same time, Flagstone required an ongoing support model that matched the rhythms of a financial services business, with continuous monitoring, incident response and a clear path for enhancements. They were looking for a digital partner who could advise on the best way to structure their Azure environment, manage the move and then provide reliable 24/7 support and maintenance once the migration was complete.

Our approach

Azure migration

Growcreate worked with Flagstone to plan and execute a secure, compliant migration of the platform to Microsoft Azure. The focus was on protecting data integrity, maintaining regulatory standards and minimising disruption for users, with clear stages from assessment to cut‑over, so stakeholders knew what to expect at every step.

The migration design aligned Azure resources with Flagstone’s performance and security needs, setting up a foundation that can scale as usage and client assets grow. By treating migration as an opportunity to improve architecture, not just “lift and shift”, the platform was better positioned for future enhancements, integrations and resilience measures in line with financial services expectations.

24/7 support and maintenance

Once the platform was migrated, Growcreate moved into a 24/7 support and maintenance model tailored to Flagstone’s operating hours and risk profile. A dedicated support team handles incidents, change requests and routine maintenance, backed by proactive monitoring and clear communication, so the Flagstone team has visibility of platform health and upcoming work.

Azure managed services and ongoing optimisation ensure the environment continues to meet performance, cost and security targets as the platform evolves. This combination of structured support, advisory input and hands‑on Azure management helps Flagstone reduce risk, respond quickly to issues and plan changes with confidence.

Results and impact

Flagstone now operates on a secure, compliant Azure foundation that supports the needs of a growing, high‑value cash platform. The migration delivered the resilience and scalability benefits of the cloud while protecting business continuity, so advisers and clients can continue to access accounts and manage deposits without disruption.

With 24/7 support and maintenance in place, Flagstone has greater confidence in platform stability and a dependable foundation for ongoing improvement. GrowCreate continues to provide the operational support, Azure expertise and technical direction needed as the platform and its requirements evolve.
