# Advance IT - Business Description
Advance IT, based in Huddersfield, is a specialist cloud infrastructure and IT solutions provider led by Naveed Azhar, a certified Cloud IT Engineer with over two decades of industry experience. The company serves organisations across public and private sectors, including military, police and commercial enterprises seeking digital transformation and robust IT infrastructure management.
The business focuses on complex, enterprise-level IT challenges rather than standard support. Naveed's expertise spans Azure and AWS cloud architecture, M365 ecosystem management, and device administration through Intune and SCCM. The firm excels in server and database migration to cloud platforms, infrastructure modernisation, and application packaging and deployment. They provide multi-tiered support—from junior technician training to expert third-line engineering—ensuring organisations can scale their technical capabilities.
What distinguishes Advance IT is the depth of practical experience across critical infrastructure. Naveed has managed digital transformation for major organisations and held specialist roles including security analysis for London Underground and infrastructure positions at West Yorkshire Police. This background means the company understands government and public sector requirements, compliance obligations, and large-scale operational challenges.
Rather than offering generic IT support, Advance IT tackles sophisticated projects: legacy system migrations, complex cloud implementations, and enterprise device management across heterogeneous environments. The combination of hands-on engineering experience, relevant certifications, and a proven track record with demanding clients positions this as a provider for organisations requiring credible, technically-accomplished IT leadership.
