Techaboo World Solutions helps mid-market enterprises in Nashville and across the Southeast migrate to Azure, harden their security posture, and modernize aging infrastructure — with a principal consultant who leads every engagement personally.
Every engagement is built to reduce risk, improve performance, and free your team to focus on growth.
We identify waste, right-size workloads, and build FinOps guardrails so you keep every dollar aligned to real business value.
We align identity, monitoring, and policy enforcement to the frameworks auditors already expect, so your controls are visible and repeatable.
Our principal-led model keeps decisions tight and timelines predictable, with clear milestones and transparent progress tracking.
From Azure migrations to Zero Trust security, TWS delivers the specialized expertise your IT team needs to move forward with confidence.
Move your workloads to Azure using the right strategy for each application — whether that means lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or cloud-native refactoring. Every migration aligns with the Azure Well-Architected Framework to ensure cost efficiency, reliability, and performance from day one.
Discuss your migration →Design, implement, and consolidate AD DS environments that scale with your organization. We handle complex multi-forest migrations, trust relationships, and the transition to Entra ID (Azure AD) for hybrid identity management that keeps your users productive and your directories clean.
Plan your AD architecture →Build a Zero Trust security architecture using the Microsoft Defender suite, Sentinel SIEM/SOAR, and conditional access policies. We coordinate penetration testing, conduct vulnerability assessments, and create incident response plans that satisfy auditors and protect your business.
Strengthen your security →Transform aging on-premises infrastructure into a modern hybrid or fully cloud-based environment. We handle server consolidation, Hyper-V to Azure migrations, datacenter decommissioning, and Windows Server upgrades — reducing your hardware footprint and operational overhead.
Modernize your infrastructure →Eliminate manual deployments and configuration drift with version-controlled infrastructure. We build Terraform modules, ARM templates, and Bicep files integrated into Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions pipelines — so every environment is repeatable, auditable, and deployed in minutes.
Automate your deployments →Design and implement end-to-end delivery pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. From automated testing and release gates to containerized workloads on AKS, we build the automation that lets your team ship faster with fewer errors and full observability through Azure Monitor.
Accelerate your delivery →Upskill your IT team with hands-on workshops tailored to your environment. We deliver focused training on Azure administration, security operations, IaC development, and DevOps practices — so your team can manage and extend the solutions we build together.
Train your team →Bridge your on-premises and cloud environments with Entra ID Connect, conditional access policies, and SSO/MFA configurations. We design identity architectures that give your users seamless access while maintaining the security controls your compliance requirements demand.
Unify your identity →Navigate complex regulatory requirements with Azure Policy, Microsoft Purview, and governance blueprints aligned to ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and NIST 800-53. We build the technical controls and documentation that turn compliance from a burden into a business advantage.
Achieve compliance →We are not a faceless consulting firm that sends junior resources after the contract is signed. Andrew Shannon leads every engagement personally.
Andrew Shannon is on every call, in every planning session, and hands-on in every deployment. You will never be handed off to a junior consultant who is learning on your dime.
Choose between fixed-price projects with defined scope and deliverables, or time-and-materials for ongoing work. Either way, you know exactly what you are paying for before work begins.
Based in Gallatin, Tennessee, TWS serves the Nashville metro area with on-site availability when your project demands it. We also deliver remotely across the entire Southeast and nationally.
While we specialize in the Microsoft ecosystem, we recommend the right tool for the job — even when that means Terraform over ARM, or a third-party security tool over a Microsoft one. Your outcomes matter more than vendor loyalty.
“Andrew took the time to understand our compliance requirements before proposing a single change. The Azure migration he designed for our 200-user environment came in under budget and ahead of schedule. Our team now manages the environment confidently thanks to the training he provided.”
“We interviewed three large consulting firms before choosing TWS. The difference was immediate — Andrew was the person on every call, not a sales rep handing us off. Our AD consolidation project reduced our directory footprint by 60% and our identity-related support tickets dropped to near zero.”
Principal Consultant & Owner, Techaboo World Solutions
With over a decade of hands-on experience in enterprise IT infrastructure and cloud architecture, Andrew Shannon founded Techaboo World Solutions to deliver the kind of focused, expert consulting that mid-market companies deserve but rarely receive from large systems integrators.
Andrew holds multiple Microsoft certifications including AZ-104 (Azure Administrator), AZ-500 (Azure Security Engineer), AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect), and SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator). This certification portfolio reflects a deliberate focus on the technologies that matter most to organizations modernizing their infrastructure: cloud platforms, security, and identity.
His approach to consulting is straightforward: understand the business problem first, then design the technical solution. Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of the current environment, a clear-eyed evaluation of what needs to change, and an honest conversation about timelines and costs. There are no surprise change orders and no scope creep without a conversation.
Based in Gallatin, Tennessee, Andrew is an active member of the Nashville technology community. When he is not architecting Azure environments or hardening Active Directory deployments, he contributes to local IT meetups and mentors aspiring cloud professionals in the region.
Representative examples of the outcomes TWS delivers for mid-market organizations.
A 200-physician regional health system was running critical applications on aging Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructure with no disaster recovery plan. HIPAA audit findings required immediate remediation of identified security gaps.
TWS designed and executed a phased Azure migration using Azure Migrate, implemented Azure Site Recovery for DR, deployed Microsoft Defender for Cloud across all workloads, and established Azure Policy guardrails aligned to HIPAA requirements.
A mid-market investment firm with 400 employees operated three separate Active Directory forests from prior acquisitions. Identity management was fragmented, SSO was nonexistent, and SOC 2 auditors flagged excessive privileged access across all domains.
TWS consolidated all three forests into a single AD DS architecture, implemented Entra ID Connect for hybrid identity, deployed conditional access policies with MFA enforcement, and established a Zero Trust security model using Microsoft Defender for Identity and Sentinel.
A manufacturing company with 150 employees was spending $18,000/month on colocation hosting for 40 physical and virtual servers. The lease renewal deadline was 6 months away, and the IT team of three had no cloud experience.
TWS built a hybrid architecture using Azure Arc for the servers that needed to remain on-premises, migrated 32 workloads to Azure, implemented Terraform-based IaC for all cloud resources, and delivered a two-week Azure administration training program for the internal IT team.
A proven four-phase approach that minimizes risk and maximizes the value of every engagement.
We start with a free infrastructure assessment and requirements gathering session. This gives both sides a clear picture of your current environment, pain points, and goals — before any commitment is made.
Based on the assessment, we create a detailed architecture plan, project roadmap, and cost model. You review and approve the design before implementation begins — no surprises, no ambiguity.
Implementation follows the approved plan with regular progress updates, testing at every milestone, and go-live support. We do not consider a project complete until it is running in production and your team is comfortable.
After go-live, we monitor performance, optimize costs, and provide ongoing support. Monthly reviews ensure your environment continues to meet business needs as your organization grows and requirements evolve.
Tell us about your project and we will be in touch within 1 business day to discuss next steps. Engagements are flexible — we are happy to negotiate a schedule and structure that fits your organization.
