I help organisations get control of their OT environments — whether that means building governance frameworks, standardising platforms across sites, or getting IT and OT teams aligned on who owns what.
Building and implementing governance frameworks for AVEVA System Platform environments. This covers ownership boundaries between IT and Automation, least privilege standards, change control processes, patching and update policies, antivirus exclusions, firewall rules, and certificate management.
If your SCADA estate has grown without clear governance — or if IT and OT are stepping on each other because nobody wrote down who's responsible for what — this is where we start.
Creating consistency across multi-site AVEVA and Wonderware deployments. This includes naming conventions, node configuration baselines, response files for repeatable installations, deployment toolkits, and documentation that means any engineer can walk into any site and know what they're looking at.
No more snowflake servers. No more "that site does it differently."
Bridging the gap between IT infrastructure teams and OT/automation engineers. This means defining ownership boundaries, shared responsibilities, communication frameworks, and escalation paths — so that when something goes wrong at 2am, everyone knows who picks up the phone and what they're allowed to touch.
This is often the most impactful engagement, because the technical problems are usually symptoms of the organisational ones.
Tailored sessions that explain OT to IT audiences, IT to OT audiences, or both to leadership. Delivered as workshops, presentations, or embedded knowledge transfer during project engagements.
This isn't death-by-PowerPoint. My background as a lecturer means I design sessions around understanding, not just information. If your IT team doesn't know what a PLC is, or your OT team doesn't understand why IT cares about Active Directory — we fix that.
AVEVA Historian architecture review, tag governance, data retention policies, and strategies for connecting historian data to modern analytics and reporting. If you're sitting on years of process data but can't easily get value from it, this is where we look.
Hands-on specialist support for AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA Edge, Plant SCADA, InTouch HMI, ThinManager, and Rockwell FactoryTalk HMI. This covers troubleshooting, upgrades, migrations, platform health assessments, and the kind of deep technical work that needs someone who's been in the trenches.
That's normal — most challenges span more than one area. Let's have a conversation and work it out.
