Asset Guardian Solutions Limited (AGSL), which specialises in protecting industrial and automation control system (IACS) software assets across a range of industries, announced that Blaire McLeod has been appointed Technical Consultant.
In her role as Technical Consultant, McLeod is responsible for developing Asset Guardian software, which requires designing, writing code and testing it. She is also an integral member of the AGSL customer support team, which liaises with customers to create budget proposals, install software, and fix problems should they arise. McLeod brings with her a solid background in database systems, networking and user experience. She is also very experienced in customer service, having worked in a customer relations role for nine years for a major UK retailer.
“As specialists in process control software asset protection, we help our customers in many ways. From protecting themselves against cyber attack to effectively managing asset obsolescence,” said Iain Rennie, Product Manager for Asset Guardian Solutions Limited. “To achieve that, we must continue to develop effective systems and deliver exceptional customer support, so it’s critical that we maintain a team of highly motivated, experienced technical staff with outstanding customer relations ability. Blaire exhibits every one of those qualities, and we welcome her to the team.”
Originally from Dundee, Scotland, McLeod holds an BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing from University of Dundee. She is also a member of the British Computing Society.
Asset Guardian Solutions Limited (AGSL) was born out of the recognition that most companies involved in the process industry had little to protect the integrity and safekeeping of the software assets used to control their production processes.
Conceived in 2000, the AG Software Solution is an innovative solution that helps users to comply with ISO & IEC Standards, Government Directives and Industry Best Practices for the “Configuration and Change Management” of Industrial and Automation Control Software for process critical systems. In 2010, AGSL was formed to accelerate the development and growth of the AG Software Solution and to maximise the company’s potential within the global marketplace.
The company’s investment in market research and close collaboration with customers has transformed Asset Guardian from a “product” to an “integrated solution” for protecting the integrity of safety and process critical systems, and has helped establish a portfolio of global ‘blue chip’ clients. Working in close partnership with its clients, Asset Guardian Solutions Ltd appreciates the need for rapid, demonstrable returns on client investments, and encourages them to follow the company ethos “Take Control and Control Change.”
