Our story

Built in the field for one operator. Ready for many.

Mi-C3’s software began in the early 2000s as a project for a large oil and gas company operating across multiple countries. It had to manage a complex operation and considerable security risk across a wide, hard-to-reach area, years before the Internet of Things was widely understood.

The starting point was command and control: giving an organisation the situational awareness to manage and secure its facilities. The company name adds collaboration, so the people who see a problem and the people who fix it work from the same record.

Glen Scott founded Mi-C3 in 2014 to bring that work to every operator that needs a consolidated, real-time view of a complex operation. Its focus today is critical infrastructure. The platform became Affectli. It models the operation as a live ontology. Its data fabric, one connected layer across the systems already in place, connects to everything the operator runs and replaces nothing. Data sovereignty stays with the operator, which owns its data and decides where Affectli runs.

The name

Meaningful intelligence for command, control and collaboration.

Mi

Meaningful intelligence

Large volumes of data turned into something an operator can act on, with the context to act well.

  • Command

    Know what is happening across every site, and decide.

  • Control

    Act on assets, devices and work orders from the same record.

  • Collaboration

    Bring the control room, field teams and partners onto one shared picture.

Command and control is where the software started. Collaboration brings everyone onto the same record. Meaningful intelligence is the purpose of all three.

The same three ideas run through Affectli today: see the situation, act on it and work on it with others, all from one live model of the operation.

Milestones
