Data Architecture & AI Readiness Consultant | Ayrshire | Maru ICT

Turn internal knowledge into instant answers.

We help businesses fix messy data and prepare for automation.

Every business has key stakeholders who hold the company together. They know how everything works. The problem is, because they know everything, they are constantly interrupted to answer questions and solve other people's problems. Your best people shouldn't be your helpdesk

It doesn't matter what software you buy; if the answers are locked in someone's head, your business creates bottlenecks.

What I do sounds simple:

  1. I Capture the Know-How: I work with your key departments to extract their experience and turn it into a format the rest of the business can use.

  2. I Capture the Years of History: Every project, even those left uncompleted, has added to the collective experience. I create a format to enable quick access to historic information for those with the need, and permissions, to find it.

  3. I Secure Sensitive Data: I build the governance layer. This ensures your staff get instant answers to do their jobs, without ever seeing sensitive data they aren't supposed to access.

The Result: Your team stops waiting for answers, and your senior leaders get their day back. Technology finally works the way you need it to: silently, securely, and in the background.

Are you unsure if your data is clean enough for automation?

I offer a fixed-price AI Readiness Audit.

This involves spending 3 days on site with your team to map your data, identify the risks, and give you a traffic-light report on exactly what needs to be fixed before you can automate.

 Most importantly— it lets you assess whether your team enjoys working with me.

Anyone can write prompts, the key is a combination of access, governance and empowerment.

What do you have to lose? For me, tried and tested communication always works best. Just pick up the phone and let's talk. 01292 430831

Personal Bio

I am Kenneth Neill, a technology and operations leader with over 25 years of experience bridging gaps between technical strategy and commercial reality. I have a proven track record in directing complex Post-Merger Integrations (PMI), launching technical product suites, and scaling operational teams.

My background is in operational turnarounds and post-merger integrations. For the last few years, I have served as a Director for acquired businesses, tasked with a specific mission: make the new company work within the group.

This meant managing the friction between legacy systems and modern group architecture. I didn't just fix the IT; I had to align the data stack, the operational processes, and the people to ensure the acquisition was successful.

The "NDA" Reality Because of the nature of M&A work, most of my recent projects are under strict NDA. I cannot even show you my clients' logos, but I can tell you this:

I am used to working in high-pressure environments where the data is messy, the systems don't talk to each other, and the stakes are high. If you are looking for someone to modernise your operations with discretion and architectural precision, that is what I do
