Welcome to Associate Planet

Who Are We?

Experts in the tech and IT space, with experience and expertise spanning the last 40 years of the software and systems industry. There is not much we haven’t been involved in, seen, provided solutions for and the more complex the better. We have worked throughout the world including UK, Europe, Middle East, China and the Americas and on markets in Finance, Manufacturing, Industry, Airports and Rail. A key specialism has been the integration of everything: smart buildings, smart manufacturing, integrated refineries, smart airports and so forth.

Integrated Infrastructure

Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Smart Everything!

Is high on the agenda of governments and development agencies.

Technology is much better understood nowadays and people want and expect more from it. It makes the more everyday tasks easier to accomplish. You can control your work space, home, life more efficiently. The ‘Smart Environment’ needs to be joined up, integrated and secure. Not easy to achieve currently.

We have been involved in smart infrastructure projects over the last 25 years. Key projects have been in the Pharmaceutical Sector, Airport Sector and Industrial/Manufacturing sites. Expertise has been born out of practical knowledge and experience of:

• integrating disparate technologies 
• a wide variety of products 
• all major systems and applications 
• the centralisation of functions, for example control rooms 

We have excellent knowledge of:

• the distributed requirement of infrastructure and technology 
• integrated communications 
• cloud and how to use it 
• diverse data technologies 


Project Management

We can set up, manage and deliver your IT or technology projects successfully and with minimum fuss. Or help you to do so.

You may not have the skills, the resources or the time to manage these types of projects yourself. We can help you by providing skilled Project Managers, who can:

• set up, build the team and manage the project for you 
• implement quickly, an easy-to-use set of project management processes and tools 
• train and mentor your staff in their use 
• review and rescue any projects that are in difficulty 


Security

We help you to strengthen your resilience against the threats posed by today’s complex, dynamic and unpredictable operating environment. These threats range from criminal acts committed by people outside and inside the organisation through error or accident. Those responsible for containing these threats also face the challenge of integrating traditional physical safety and security countermeasures with their 21st Century “cyber” counterparts.

Organisations are moving from “acceptable risk” to “adequate resilience” by deploying smarter, more proactive measures so they can roll with the punch, keep the business going and even grow stronger from the experience.

Our services include:

• assessing threats using novel risk-modelling methods 
• designing, building and deploying threat countermeasures (new or enhancements) 
• planning for and managing the aftermath of an incident (business continuity) 
• learning from incidents and adapting countermeasures to cope with new realities 
• security - governance, risk, compliance (GRC) 
• cyber security
