Upgrade Your AVEVA PI System
Without Downtime. Without Data Loss. Without Career Risk.
If you’re responsible for a mission-critical PI System, upgrades aren’t just technical work.
They’re high-visibility decisions with real professional consequences.
We deliver predictable, seamless AVEVA PI System upgrades for large oil & gas environments, including 700,000-tag systems, with zero data loss and no operational disruption.
No sales pitch. No obligation. Just clarity.
Why Most PI Upgrades Get Delayed
You already know what keeps these upgrades on hold.
Not lack of budget.
Not lack of tools.
Fear of what happens if it goes wrong.
Interfaces fail quietly
AF structures break downstream applications
Historical data disappears
Dashboards lose credibility
Operations stops trusting PI
Leadership starts asking uncomfortable questions
And the blame doesn’t land on “the system.”
It lands on the person who approved the upgrade.
That’s why PI upgrades get postponed…
until urgency forces a rushed, high-risk decision.
If You’re the One Accountable for This Upgrade…
You’re not just approving a technical change.
You’re the one who has to:
Defend the upgrade timeline to leadership
Answer for downtime you didn’t personally cause
Explain data gaps months later
Justify why this approach was chosen
That’s why this decision can’t be based on optimism.
It has to be defensible.
A Controlled, Predictable AVEVA PI Upgrade Process
Built for Zero-Tolerance Environments
We don’t experiment.
We don’t improvise.
And we don’t “figure it out” in production.
Our upgrade approach is designed around predictability:
Risks identified before work begins
Data integrity treated as non-negotiable
Clear cutover plans with rollback options
No surprises during execution
This is how we successfully delivered a 700,000-tag AVEVA PI System migration with seamless cutover and zero data loss.
Our process is designed so upgrade decisions are easy to defend.
Clear scope. Clear assumptions. Clear outcomes.
Nothing hidden. Nothing implied.
If leadership asks, “Why this approach?”
The answer is documented.
