Thinking strategically and laterally

Thinking strategically and laterally


At ICT we really value “thinking” – not just our own but that which goes on around us:
  • the thinking that our clients have already done before they engage us
  • the thinking that emerges from global innovators and the best practitioners in our field
  • the thinking that’s embodied in the third party products we carefully select
  • the thinking of our people.
When you engage ICT, we work with you, sharing our thinking and ideas to create the “best fit” solution for your enterprise.

We know that even the best solution is worthless unless it can be easily communicated to others.

Whether a high-level project philosophy or specific design details, we are committed to a disciplined approach for the creation of accurate, quality project documentation.

The combination of our thinking, our documentation processes and our ability to work with people leads to easy and effective system integration.

We have proven the power of thinking in our history of innovative integration.

There have been many landmark ICT projects, many firsts and many examples of unique application of new products and technology to solve client problems:

In the 1980s, ICT was consultant and integrator for innovative DCS systems, including safety trip systems and fibre optic communications technology.

In the 1990s, ICT was responsible for integration of the first large S88 compliant Batch system in Australia, then one of the largest of its type in the world.

The early 2000s saw ICT being the first to implement the Siemens safety PLC in the automotive industry. This project was showcased by Siemens at the Hannover Fair in Germany.

More recently, ICT has undertaken a vast and complex integration involving 230 PLCs, with 30,000 I/O and a SCADA system of some 200,000 points.
