Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in Avon, CT

VIAcode is a Microsoft Azure consultancy and managed services provider whose contact page lists an office in Avon, Connecticut, a short drive west of Hartford, along with a location in Warsaw, Poland.

The firm works with organizations at every stage of cloud adoption, from teams planning a first move into Azure to companies running large estates that need tighter control over spending, security and resilience.

For buyers in the Business Intelligence space, its relevance comes from its data management, analytics, machine learning and AI practice, together with the reporting and cost visibility it delivers across Azure environments.

Data, analytics and AI

Under its App and Data line of work, VIAcode applies data strategy, machine learning and artificial intelligence to help clients base decisions on evidence and streamline processes. It offers a no-cost AI Proof of Value, a pilot sponsored by Microsoft that uses Azure AI and the company's own AI Accelerator to demonstrate measurable return before a client commits further.

Its cost optimization work is also analytical: assessments examine historical usage and spending patterns, flag idle or oversized virtual machines, storage and networking, and recommend pricing models such as Reserved Instances, Spot Instances or pay-as-you-go. It reports monthly visibility into about 2,850 Azure subscriptions.

Services offered

• Data management, machine learning and AI solutions
• Azure cost assessment, optimization and ongoing cost management
• Azure migration assessment, strategy and execution, including Azure Virtual Desktop
• Web application, microservices development, modernization and DevOps
• Security assessments, penetration testing and endpoint management
• Business continuity and disaster recovery planning and implementation
• Azure Assist managed subscription services and Azure reselling as a Cloud Solution Provider

Engagements typically begin with an assessment, such as a free Azure Health Check, an optimization review, a security workshop or a migration evaluation, which produces a report tailored to the client's environment.

VIAcode then plans and prioritizes the recommendations, carries out the technical changes itself, and can keep the environment tuned through Azure Assist, a monthly service built on its proprietary vBox technology that provides continuous monitoring, automated adjustments and regular reporting. Through Microsoft funding programs available to qualifying partners, some clients may have migration planning and execution covered at no charge.

Background and credentials

It is a Microsoft Managed Partner holding solution designations that include Data and AI, Infrastructure, Digital and App Innovation, and Security, plus Advanced Specializations in infrastructure and database migration and in moving enterprise applications to Azure.

Chief executive Victor Mushkatin previously served as a Group Program Manager on the Azure product team between 2010 and 2018, where he led the creation of Azure Application Insights.

VIAcode also has a development relationship with Microsoft's Azure and SQL product groups, having built the Azure demonstration platform used by Microsoft cloud solution architects and the Universal Voice of the Customer feedback system.

Published client stories come from a global SaaS company, a supply chain technology provider and a behavioral healthcare organization, citing results such as a 32 percent reduction in Azure costs and half as many hours spent diagnosing and fixing problems. For buyers, VIAcode suits organizations that want analytics, AI and data work delivered by a specialist closely tied to the Microsoft Azure platform.
