Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Our service encapsulates a thorough planning component that will seek to discover the needs of the organisation in the areas of financial operations, cost management, environment and sustainability and compliance and security. This will aim to surface all aspects of the aspirational business goals as well as critical challenges or blockers that are faced. We will do this by working closely with internal stakeholders such as compliance teams, sustainability champions and security teams.

The outcomes of this discovery will drive the specification of environment blueprints including, but not limited to identity and access management controls, policy enforcement, cost control alerts and budgets, workload optimisation algorithms etc. All of the above will be designed with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD based patterns in mind for the target environments.

How the setup or migration service works
We approach implementation of Finops and Security controls in the same way as any type of cloud build programme. We adopt industry best practises like Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practises in everything we do. If these approaches are new for a customer we will guide them through the delivery process and explore implementation options. Our consultants are trained across different technologies to work within a customer's existing development and CI/CD frameworks where required. The requirements identified in the planning phase are prioritised around the highest priority use-cases and built out using our agile delivery processes with regular playback and review with key stakeholders. Our business led approach is deliberate and puts stakeholders and user audiences at the centre of delivery process in order to continually demonstrate outcomes; we see technology as the means to the end, not the end in itself. The nature of this service is to deliver rigorous cost and security controls across cloud environments exhibiting high levels of observability, auditability and automated remediation where needed. In order to guarantee this we quality assure all aspects of delivery and perform rigorous testing to ensure the solutions we build are fit for purpose and meet the intended requirement.

Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

We strive to bridge the technology skills-gap and are committed to playing a key role in improving diversity in the industry. Diversity over Homogeneity is a core Kubrick value: We respect the differences in others and understand the importance of diverse thoughts, experiences, backgrounds and perspectives when formulating new ideas and creating solutions. We believe in creating equal opportunities for all, pushing against barriers that have existed for too long.
Recruitment selection has always been conducted on the basis of merit, against objective criteria avoiding discrimination.
We are committed to applying our equality, diversity and inclusion policy at all stages of recruitment. We carry out shortlisting, interviewing and selection without regard to applicant's sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, skin colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion/belief, age, pregnancy or maternity leave or trade union membership.
Advertisements actively avoid stereotyping or using wording that may discourage particular groups from applying.
We never exclude candidates with a disability unless it is clear that the candidate is unable to perform a duty that is intrinsic to the role, having taken into account reasonable adjustments. Candidates are only asked questions about their health where this is directly necessary for a particular role and, in any event, only once they have been shortlisted.
To prevent any candidate from being disadvantaged because of a disability or any other factor, the individual responsible for communicating with applicants confirms with each candidate whether or not they require any reasonable adjustments. Examples of previous adjustments made:
1.Ensuring easy access to the premises for an interview.
2.Adapting psychometric tests for accessibility needs.
3.Replacing psychometric tests with an alternative.
4.Providing an alternative to a telephone interview for a deaf candidate.
5.Providing additional time in testing stages for individuals with Dyslexia and other learning needs,
