Frame’s Advisory & Strategy services help executives cut through the noise and build a practical, actionable strategy for Data, Analytics, and AI—anchored in the realities of plants, fleets, networks, and field operations.

We bring together industry expertise, cross-cloud architecture, and delivery discipline to design strategies that work across Azure, AWS, GCP, and Databricks and can be executed in phases, not multi-year “big bets” that never land.

We start with your business model, asset base, and operational constraints—not with technology buzzwords.

Frame works with executive and operational leaders to:

  • Define a clear Data, Analytics & AI vision aligned to business and operational priorities
  • Identify where Data & AI can impact reliability, safety, margin, emissions, and working capital
  • Build a phased roadmap that respects capital cycles, change capacity, and risk tolerance
  • Establish milestones, metrics, and governance for ongoing course correction

Outcome: A pragmatic strategy that the board, C-suite, and operations can all stand behind.

We help you focus on the right problems, not just the most interesting technology.

Our advisors:

  • Identify and prioritize high-impact use cases across maintenance, production, safety, supply chain, and commercial
  • Quantify value—revenue, cost, risk reduction, and working capital impacts
  • Balance “quick wins” with foundational investments (platform, data, governance)
  • Build a portfolio view that guides sequencing, funding, and delivery ownership

Outcome: A curated, value-ranked portfolio that directs where to invest first—and what to pause.

Data & AI only scale when the operating model supports them.

Frame designs:

  • Data & AI operating models (central, federated, or hybrid) tailored to your culture
  • Roles and responsibilities across business, IT, and OT (e.g., product owners, platform teams, domain data owners)
  • Collaboration patterns between plants, business units, and corporate functions
  • Engagement models for working with system integrators, cloud providers, and software partners

Outcome: Clarity on who does what, how work flows, and how to avoid “initiative fatigue.” resilient.

In Energy & Manufacturing, governance is not optional—it’s critical.

We help you:

  • Design data and AI governance frameworks aligned with regulatory, safety, and cyber requirements
  • Define policies for data access, lineage, quality, and retention
  • Establish Responsible AI principles (fairness, transparency, accountability)
  • Integrate governance into daily ways of working rather than creating bureaucracy

Outcome: Guardrails that enable innovation while protecting people, assets, and reputation.

Most clients already have investments across multiple clouds and platforms.

Frame:

  • Assesses your current cloud, analytics, and OT/IT landscape
  • Recommends how Azure, AWS, GCP, and Databricks fit into a coherent platform strategy
  • Clarifies which workloads belong where (e.g., real-time vs batch, plant vs enterprise)
  • Aligns platform choices with your internal skills, partner ecosystem, and long-term goals

Outcome: A platform and partner strategy that creates flexibility instead of fragmentation.

Without adoption, even the best strategy fails.

We support:

  • Stakeholder mapping across plants, functions, and leadership levels
  • Change narratives that resonate with engineers, operators, and executives
  • Training and capability-building plans for Data, Analytics & AI roles
  • Simple mechanisms for feedback, continuous improvement, and scaling success stories

Outcome: A workforce that understands the “why” and has the tools and confidence to use Data & AI in their daily decisions

Frame connects Data & AI strategy directly to measurable operational levers that matter in Energy and Manufacturing. Advisory efforts are grounded in outcomes such as reduced downtime and maintenance cost, higher throughput and yield, lower energy usage and emissions, improved safety and compliance posture, and stronger planning, forecasting, and capital efficiency.

Clients leave with more than a vision—they gain a shared, executable Data & AI direction supported by leadership and operations, a prioritized portfolio of initiatives with quantified value, and a scalable operating model, governance, and platform strategy. The result is a realistic, phased roadmap that balances ambition with execution capacity and moves organizations from abstract “digital” goals to precise, achievable action.

We start from production realities—OT/IT integration, safety, uptime, regulatory constraints—not from generic “digital transformation” playbooks.

Our advisory work is grounded in how solutions are actually delivered. We design strategies that our engineering teams—and yours—can implement.

We understand the strengths and trade-offs of Azure, AWS, GCP, and Databricks, and help you design a path that leverages what you already own.

Every strategy artifact we produce—roadmaps, operating models, value cases—is structured so it can plug directly into funding cycles, portfolio management, and delivery.
