01 — Bundled, not siloed
One SOW. Four disciplines.
AI integration, DevOps, security, and Microsoft services delivered by one accountable partner — never four spreadsheets and a finger-pointing exercise.

The Avalon difference
Three commitments. Every engagement.
Most SMBs juggle a freelancer for AI, an MSP for security, a contractor for DevOps, and a Microsoft reseller for licensing — four vendors blaming each other when something breaks. We're built to replace all four.
02 — Productized, not bespoke
Real prices. Real timelines.
Top-of-funnel offers have fixed fees and visible scopes. Buyers self-qualify before the first call. We discount via scope reduction, never rate erosion.
03 — Microsoft-native, audit-credible
The stack regulated buyers trust.
We earn Microsoft Solutions Partner designations across Modern Work, Security, and Infrastructure. And there's a 25-year EA on the cap table when an auditor walks in.
Service Lines
Four disciplines, one partner.
Each line stands alone — but the value compounds. A typical 18-month customer journey: M365 hardening → Sentinel/SOC 2 → DevOps retainer → AI rollout. Average revenue per customer triples without a new logo.
Productized Packages
Real prices. No “let’s scope it.”
A small set of fixed-fee, fixed-scope offers that solve the pains we hear most often. Public pricing means you self-qualify before the first call.

About Avalon
Two founders. One opinionated philosophy.
Avalon Web Services was founded by two complementary partners — a senior Enterprise Architect with 25 years inside SABB / HSBC in Saudi Arabia (recently relocated to the US), and a modern AI / DevOps / Security / Microsoft specialist already running a profitable consulting practice. We combine the design judgment of a Tier-1 regulated bank with the speed and price of a boutique.
Our philosophy is simple: SMBs deserve enterprise-grade outcomes — without the enterprise price tag, the enterprise timeline, or the enterprise PowerPoint deck.

Most engagements start with a Cloud Health Check — one week, full audit, top-10 findings, 90-day roadmap. About 60% of these convert into a longer engagement. Either way, you walk away with a plan.
