Whatever the challenge, we find the solution.

We're Crydent, a technical consultancy comprising skilled professionals who specialise in designing, building, and securing environments in the cloud and on-premises. When something is broken, blocked, or draining your budget, we find the root cause, fix the source, and hand you back the keys.

The platforms and standards we work with

We understand the challenge

Every team has a backlog and a budget.

Day-to-day operations always come first. We understand there's not always time to work on improvements, so they fall into the backlog. We provide the time and expertise needed to focus on those items, relieving you of internal pressures and constraints.

The Inherited Platform

When there's uncertainty on what is running, what it depends on, or what it's costing. We assess the environment, document our findings, then hand you the map.

The Migration That's Stalled

You know the migration is needed but you're not sure how or where to start. Everything's agreed in principle yet postponed in practice. We bring the experience needed to get things done right.

The Gaps in Compliance

Cyber essentials, ISO, insurance, or a customer questionnaire. We help map the requirements, assess the gaps, and remediate any findings.

The Process Still Done by Hand

Those long, recurring tasks that have always been done manually, which should be a Power App or an automation. Anything but another spreadsheet.

The Short Burst of Capacity

A project that needs experienced hands for a short period, without requiring a permanent hire. We hand you the documentation, the training, and the keys, reducing external dependencies.

The Problem That Keeps Coming Back

A persistent fault that has been looked at and never completely resolved. It needs root cause analysis, not another band-aid. We help you find the source and the permanent resolution.

Bespoke tooling

In-House Development & Custom Solutions

Most consultancies stop at configuration, working within whatever a platform or product offers out of the box. Crydent is different, as we have our own in-house development team. When the tool or connector a client needs doesn't exist, or would cost more than the budget allows, we build it. Our engineers deliver everything from web apps, SharePoint intranets, and Power Platform applications to Function Apps, scripts, and automations.

1The requirement

Map the requirements.

We sit down with the team who owns the process and document exactly what happens. We map the friction points so we know exactly where the bottlenecks are, and build a watertight spec to address the challenge.

2The build

Write and test the code.

Our developers build the solution using the same modern engineering practices we apply to core infrastructure. We write clean, modular code, version-control it, and run rigorous integration tests in a staging environment before anything ever touches your live production data. It's peer-reviewed, documented, and entirely reversible.

What we build

Clean handovers, zero dependencies.

We don't build proprietary black boxes to trap you, we hand you the code, the documentation, and the keys. From lightweight automation scripts to full-scale web applications, you get a permanent operational asset that lowers operational overhead and frees your team from manual debt.

SharePoint and intranets

Web parts, SPFx, and intranets built around how your people actually work.

Websites and web apps

Public sites and internal tools, designed, built, and maintained end to end.

Scripting and automation

PowerShell runbooks that retire the manual task for good.

Power Platform

Power Apps and flows shaped around your process, whatever it looks like.

Integrations and APIs

Microsoft Graph, third-party APIs, and line-of-business systems joined up.

Dashboards and reporting

Dashboards and reports that surface what the business needs to see.

Professional Partnerships

Extend your team, not your headcount.

We work with managed service providers and system integrators who need extra hands or specialist skills. You bring the client and the outcome. We bring the experience, under your direction or under your brand.

For MSPs

Overflow capacity for busy deployment windows, and specialist skills your bench doesn't carry. Your client, your relationship, our hands.

  • Capacity that flexes with your workload
  • Specialist skills without expanding headcount
  • Reliable cover to safeguard your SLAs

For system integrators

Capability fulfilment for the parts of a project outside your core stack. We work to your methodology and your documentation standards, so the delivery feels entirely like yours.

  • Skills on demand, project by project
  • Your methodology, your standards
  • Documentation handed over in your format

White-label delivery

When the work needs to carry your brand, we engineer it quietly from behind the scenes. Your clients see your name on the outcome; you see the results and the margin.

  • Delivered under your brand, end to end
  • Your client relationship stays entirely yours
  • Confidential by default

Interested in partnering?

Let's talk about how we could work together. No obligation, just a conversation.

Our Core Principles

Working with us means one team.

A successful project relies on a cohesive team and the flexibility to adapt when circumstances change. We take the time to understand your organisation and the outcomes that matter most to you.

  1. 01

    Integration and Unity

    Our consultants work alongside your teams, using the tools and standards you already have and taking part in the discussions where decisions are made. We constantly share our knowledge and experience, so your team is equipped to run the environments we build together.

  2. 02

    Agility and Flexibility

    We approach every engagement on the understanding that project needs evolve and that unforeseen challenges can arise. Our flexibility ensures the plan keeps pace with your needs, and those challenges are met head on, so progress continues even when the path changes.

  3. 03

    Transparency and Trust

    The advice we provide is always honest, even when it is not what you expected, or potentially wanted, to hear. We believe a consultancy is only as valuable as the confidence you can place in its recommendations, and we build trust by backing ours with results.

Cloud migration

Zero surprises. Total continuity.

Everyone agrees the workloads should move. The hurdle is getting there without disruption. We migrate in planned stages, so before a single asset shifts you know what is moving, when it happens, what it costs, and how the rollback path looks.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    Your entire estate mapped before anything moves. Backend servers, data silos, endpoints, mailboxes, and licensing, with every dependency accounted for.

  2. 02

    Blueprint

    A phased transition plan that maps infrastructure dependencies to user cutover groups, engineered to protect business continuity.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Workloads and users move in managed waves, timed to your quietest windows, with a secure rollback path at every stage.

  4. 04

    Optimisation

    We fine-tune for performance and cost, audit access permissions, and hand back a fully documented platform for your team to run.

Modern workplace

One standard, across all devices.

We bring every device your people work from under one standard, whatever it runs. Each team gets a profile with the apps, security, and update schedule that role actually needs.

From there, the day-to-day looks after itself. Someone signs in to a new laptop and it builds itself into their machine, ready to work. Existing devices stay as configured, and you can see at a glance whether every one still meets the standard.

From line-of-business software to complex vendor installers, we turn the awkward parts of your estate into dependable deployments.

Modern device management

Designed for Intune from the outset, with the detection, requirements, dependencies, and deployment logic a managed estate needs.

Packaging standards

Consistent naming, versioning, testing, and documentation give every application a predictable route into production.
