— WHAT WE DO HERE
The work we are brought in for across the UK and Europe.
Every engagement starts with the commercial outcome rather than the technology, so the first conversation is about where hours, margin and decision speed are going, and about what AI can realistically carry today inside a regulated engineering business.
CONSULTANCIES
AI strategy for consulting businesses
We help engineering and technical consultancies decide where AI belongs in their delivery model, from bids and proposals through to report production, so the strategy arrives as a funded plan with owners and dates rather than a slide pack.
ENGINEERING TEAMS
Engineering digital transformation
Fragmented workflows, spreadsheet-bound calculations and painful handovers between study phases become connected and auditable processes, designed around how your engineers already work so the change holds after we leave.
OPERATORS
Oil and gas AI value discovery
Structured discovery with operators to find and size the AI use cases worth funding, ranked by return and by how quickly each one can be proven in a live operating environment with real data and real approvals.
BUILD AND DEPLOY
Solution Delivery
Once the case is made we build it, from report automation and action tracking to analysis assistants, delivered inside Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Copilot and Claude, or as bespoke software where the workflow deserves it.
— DOMAIN DEPTH
Skyo Digital is led by Mike Putrino, who spent around twenty years in oil and gas and energy and held the Chief Technology Officer role in a UK-based global engineering consultancy. Your AI strategy conversation therefore sits alongside the commercial and operational realities of running an engineering business, with advice from someone who has carried accountability for delivering it.
Executive advice on digital and AI strategy, briefed for boards, partners and operating committees.
First-hand experience of running technology across a global consultancy, including the people and change side.
Fluency in FEED, concept select, operations reporting and the approval trails that surround them.
A working view of what production software costs, so roadmaps are scoped against what can be built.
Twenty years in oil and gas, at the level these decisions are made.
A global team, with UK associates alongside you.
— ONE GLOBAL TEAM
Engagements in the UK and Europe are led by our own consultants and supported by a network of UK-based associates, so there are senior people in your timezone for workshops, interviews and the working sessions where the real detail comes out.
Behind our software solutions sits our development partner Systemic, an engineering-led software consultancy with more than twenty developers, which means the team shaping the problem with you is connected directly to the team that builds the answer. Where data residency matters, solutions are deployed inside your own Microsoft 365 or cloud tenancy in the UK or EU region.
DEVELOPMENT PARTNER
Systemic
Software engineering, architecture and application modernisation, delivered from William Street in the Perth CBD. Systemic holds an equal share in our commercial software and leads development of our products, which means the engineers who shape the problem with you are the same engineers who build the solution.
— HOW TO START
Four ways UK and European businesses start with us.
Each path is scoped to prove value quickly and to keep risk low, whether the starting point is an executive decision about direction or a single workflow that costs the team too many hours.

Where a workshop deserves a room, we travel to you and we plan that travel into the schedule from the start.

United Kingdom
Energy and engineering consultancies, operators and their technical service partners.
North Sea and Norway
Offshore operations, study work and the reporting that carries it through approval.
Continental Europe
Engineering businesses taking AI from pilot into production across energy and industry.
Travel to site and to your offices is arranged as the engagement requires.
