Professional Services
Your first workflow, set up with you.
Professional Services is the MLNetworks team that scopes your first workflows, connects your data and trains your people, from the first sites to rollout.
MLNetworks specialists scope one workflow with your NOC and field teams, hook up the data feeds it needs, configure it and train the people who will use it.

From scoping to a workflow in use
01
Scope the first workflow
We start with one question your team needs answered, the data behind it and who is involved. The scope is written down and agreed before work starts.

The question to answer
Which power events at a site need action, and what should the team do next?
Data sources, by category
- Alarm and fault systems
- Site controllers and telemetry
- Site and asset records
- Work orders and tickets
Who is involved
- Control room operatorReviews incidents
- Field supervisorApproves site work
- Site data ownerConfirms records
- AdministratorManages access

02
Hook up the data it needs
Each source is agreed by category, then checked with your team. We call a source supported only once it is validated.

Train the people who will use it
Training follows the roles in your operation. Each role learns its own part of the workflow.

How we work with your team
Scope before work
What is in and out of scope is written down and agreed before any feed is connected.
Sources named when validated
A source is listed as supported only after we have checked it with your team.
Your team stays in charge
Your people approve actions and own their systems. We set up and support. We do not run your operation.
FAQ
Questions from operators
What does an engagement include?
Five areas of work: discovery and workflow scoping, data and system integration, configuration and access setup, team onboarding and training, and ongoing support and expansion. The mix depends on your deployment.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
Scope and timing are agreed for each deployment, after we understand your workflow and your systems. We do not quote either before that.
Do we have to start with every workflow?
No. We suggest one workflow first, then others once the first is in use.
Which of our systems can you connect to?
That is defined for each deployment. We validate each source with your team before we name it as supported.
Who owns the decisions and the data afterwards?
Your team. People approve proposed actions, and your own systems stay the record for their data. The details are written into the scope.
