WHAT WE HELP WITH
Better IT starts with
the right decisions.
Whether you’re improving what you have or planning your next move, ATR helps connect the technical details to your business goals.
Azure & cloud
Make informed cloud decisions, with a clear plan for how your infrastructure supports your business.
- Cloud readiness and architecture
- Migration planning
- Environment optimization
Cybersecurity
Understand your exposure and prioritize practical improvements across your Microsoft environment and network.
- Security posture review
- Access and configuration guidance
- Prioritized remediation planning
Network & infrastructure
Build a dependable technical foundation that supports the way your people work today and where you’re heading.
- Network design and implementation
- Infrastructure assessment
- Modernization planning
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT & AUTOMATION
Build the tools
your work is missing.
Some challenges need more than another off-the-shelf product. Custom applications, automation, and reporting tools can connect the gaps in your workflow.
From a recurring task
to a useful tool.
Start with the work itself: what takes too long, where information gets lost, and which decisions need better visibility. Define a focused tool around that need, then refine it with the people who use it.
- Custom business applications and internal tools
- PowerShell automation and operational reporting
- Workflows that connect systems and reduce manual steps
CELESTIAL
Know your environment. Plan the improvements. Document the results.
CELESTIAL brings assessment, inventory, deployment, security, troubleshooting, and configuration recovery into one consulting platform for Microsoft cloud and on-premises environments.
Explore CELESTIALOne console. Four focused modules.
High Orbit for government cloud, Low Orbit for commercial cloud, Launch Pad for individual machines, and Mission Control for on-premises infrastructure.
Scored reports, framework-mapped findings, and prioritized remediation plans help turn technical evidence into clear next steps.
POWERED BY CELESTIAL
A clear view.
A practical way forward.
ATR uses CELESTIAL to connect discovery, engineering, and client handoff. The work starts with understanding your environment and ends with findings your team can act on.
Assess
Review collected cloud and infrastructure data to identify health issues, security gaps, and areas needing further investigation.
Know where you stand and what deserves attention first.
Inventory
Document users, groups, computers, mailboxes, licenses, devices, and configuration in organized reports and evidence exports.
Build a reliable starting point for planning, migrations, and handoffs.
Deploy
Use selected tools for account creation, infrastructure setup, policy imports, and Microsoft environment configuration.
Reduce repetitive work and bring consistency to scoped builds.
Secure
Review security settings, check policy coverage, and support hardening with framework-mapped readiness findings.
Connect technical improvements to the controls your organization needs to address.
Troubleshoot
Investigate replication, messaging, remote access, endpoint, and configuration issues with targeted diagnostics.
Give engineers better context and preserve findings for follow-through.
Recover
Capture tenant configuration, back up Group Policy and file permissions, and use selected restore tools.
Preserve reference points and support targeted recovery when changes need review.
High Orbit
Tenant workflows for Microsoft GCC, GCC High, and DoD environments, with cloud-specific connection routing.
Low Orbit
Microsoft 365 assessment, licensing, identity, device, messaging, and configuration comparison workflows.
Launch Pad
Local assessment, configuration, and troubleshooting for Windows workstations, servers, and hosts.
Mission Control
Active Directory, Group Policy, Exchange, DNS/DHCP, file services, and Remote Desktop Services.
Evidence you can use.
Read-only collection tools feed scored reports, endpoint comparisons, Microsoft 365 assessment workbooks, and prioritized remediation plans. Baseline comparisons reveal configuration changes over time. Preview options and run records support controlled engineering work.
CELESTIAL provides readiness indicators and technical evidence. It does not provide a formal compliance audit or certification and does not replace an independent assessor or auditor. Configuration captures complement your broader backup and recovery strategy.
