Our Approach

Modern, Agile Project Delivery.

Our team are recognised by Microsoft as Azure, DevSecOps, and cloud native (PaaS, serverless, containers) experts. We deliver complex client projects but remain transparent, straightforward, and easy to partner with.

BlakYaks advocate for building and operating all cloud platforms (landing zones, container, data) entirely with code (IaC). This approach gives our customers operational efficiency, enhanced security posture, and cost reduction.

Squad based structure

Our “outcome based” squad model allows us to resource projects in an agile fashion, closely aligning our team’s expertise and capacity with the customer’s business challenge.

Our team excel in problem-solving, we help our clients to navigate a challenging skills market and “flex” in line with changing business demand to deliver focused engineering skills.

From a small monthly retainer for Azure core advisory through to 24x7 support and capacity-on-demand (blocks of draw-down days), we offer our clients commercial flexibility.

As a business we are committed to offering “operate & run” services for any platform that we assess, design or build, BlakYaks squad model drives cross-functional collaboration and delivers a seamless transition between consultancy, engineering (PS) and operational engagements (SpecOps).
