What Streamline Control does

Streamline Control is a Calgary-based industrial IT/OT systems integrator founded in 2011, specializing in the modernization of operational technology environments for North American energy, utilities, and manufacturing operators. The firm delivers professional services around modern SCADA systems (Ignition by Inductive Automation, AVEVA Enterprise SCADA), MQTT/Sparkplug-based IIoT middleware, industrial analytics on the AVEVA PI System and Snowflake cloud historian, OT cybersecurity (Cyolo), historian migration/convergence (AVEVA PI, Canary), and regulatory compliance (API 1165, PHMSA, CER). Its technical differentiators include a Premier Integrator designation with Inductive Automation, AVEVA-accredited PI System engineers, a proprietary SC Charts visualization product, and report-by-exception MQTT architectures that reduce network traffic by over 80% versus polling. Claimed deployments include 30+ SCADA systems, 2 million+ configured data points, and a decade-long PI System relationship with Plains All American.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements (strategic planning, roadmap development, technology implementation, operational excellence), supplemented by recurring managed services for PI System administration and ongoing support, and one-time software licensing for SC Charts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting C-level and operations leadership in oil & gas (midstream, upstream, downstream), utilities, and manufacturing, supported by content marketing, conference presence (API Pipeline, ENTELEC, ICC, AVEVA World), webinars with technology partners, and a 'Let's Talk' inbound CTA. On May 1, 2025, Streamline Control was acquired by SGS to enhance SGS's digital transformation capabilities while Streamline continues to operate under its existing brand from its Calgary headquarters.
