Arreoblue and BlakYaks today announced the launch of a joint Microsoft Azure proposition designed to help organisations establish the secure cloud and data foundations needed to accelerate enterprise AI adoption and deliver measurable business value.
The partnership brings together BlakYaks’s expertise in Azure platform engineering, automation and cloud operations with Arreoblue’s capabilities across data strategy, governance, Microsoft Fabric, analytics and AI enablement. Together, the companies will provide customers with a connected pathway from initial assessment and use-case identification through to implementation, production deployment and long-term operation.
BlakYaks specialises in designing, building and operating secure, automated Azure platforms that provide resilient foundations for cloud-native applications, modern data platforms and enterprise AI workloads. Through proven Azure Landing Zones, DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code and policy-led automation, BlakYaks builds and operates Azure environments with code, creating secure, compliant and repeatable foundations where AI services can be deployed, governed and operated reliably at enterprise scale.
Building on these foundations, Arreoblue helps organisations unlock greater value from their data. From assessing data readiness and strengthening governance to developing Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and AI strategies, Arreoblue works with customers to identify the right opportunities, prioritise high-value use cases and accelerate responsible AI adoption across the business.
The partnership is also supported by extensive collaborative research and development within the companies’ lab environments. This includes exploring the enterprise application of agentic AI, not only as a customer-facing capability, but also as a means of accelerating engineering, improving operational efficiency and continually refining the solutions delivered to customers. This research-led approach allows Arreoblue and BlakYaks to validate technologies, architectures and operating models before applying them within customer environments.
Together, Arreoblue and BlakYaks offer an end-to-end proposition combining secure and automated Azure foundations, trusted and well-governed data platforms, and business-led AI adoption. This enables organisations to move confidently from early assessment and experimentation into secure production deployment, scalable operations and sustained business value.
Commenting on the partnership, Stephen Crisp, CEO of Arreoblue, stated: “Organisations are looking to unlock AI’s value, but success depends on the right foundations. By combining BlakYaks’ secure Azure expertise with Arreoblue’s strengths in data strategy, governance and AI, we’re helping customers accelerate adoption and deliver measurable business value.”
Dirk Anderson, CEO of BlakYaks, added: “Our partnership with Arreoblue is already creating shared value for our customers and both businesses. We share the belief that enterprise AI must be founded on secure, governed and highly automated Azure platforms. Just as modern Azure Landing Zones are built and operated with code, the same engineering principles must now be applied to enterprise AI foundations. By combining our respective expertise and investing jointly in lab-based research, including the practical application of agentic AI, we can bring proven, production-ready solutions to customers more quickly and with greater confidence.”
