PI Web API Quickstart Package
We build the foundation of your PI Web API integration so your team can focus on business logic, not HTTP plumbing. Working code, deployment-ready, with a handoff session.
What you get
Working integration code
A clean, tested codebase with authenticated PI Web API access, point lookup, value reads, writes, and batch operations configured for your specific environment.
Deployment-ready setup
Environment configuration, credential management via environment variables, SSL certificate handling, and a clear deployment guide for your infrastructure (Docker, Windows, or cloud).
Documentation and runbook
Architecture overview, code walkthrough, and a runbook your team can use to extend and maintain the integration. Not slide decks -- actual documentation your developers will reference.
Team handoff session
A 60-minute live walkthrough with your team covering the code, architecture decisions, common extension points, and how to debug issues independently.
What is included
Core integration
Production readiness
Timeline
Kickoff call (Day 1)
We learn about your PI environment, target points, authentication method, deployment target, and what you need to build. Typically 45 minutes. We will need PI Web API URL, auth method, and a list of representative points.
Build phase (Days 2-8)
We build the integration foundation, test against your PI Web API instance (or a representative environment), and prepare documentation. You get progress updates at day 4.
Review and iterate (Days 9-10)
You review the deliverables. We address feedback and adjust to your team's preferences -- naming conventions, coding style, framework choices.
Handoff (Day 10)
We deliver the final code, documentation, and run a 60-minute live handoff session with your team. Questions welcome during and after.
Who this is for
- You are starting a new PI Web API integration from scratch and want to avoid the learning curve
- Your team knows PI System but has not used PI Web API before
- You want a proven, production-ready foundation instead of learning through trial and error
- You need your team productive with PI data access quickly -- days, not months
- You want clean, maintainable code you own completely (no vendor lock-in)
Frequently asked questions
What languages do you deliver in?
Python is our primary delivery language. We also deliver in C# / .NET for teams that prefer it. The architecture and patterns are the same.
Do we need to give you access to our PI System?
Ideally yes -- we test against your actual PI Web API instance. If that is not possible, we can build against a reference environment and provide configuration guidance for your setup.
What if we need more than the standard package?
We scope custom engagements for larger needs. The quickstart package is the foundation -- if you also need a data pipeline, AF traversal, or specific integrations, we add those as defined scope items.
What happens after the handoff?
Your team owns and maintains the code independently. We include enough documentation that you should not need us for day-to-day operations. If you do need follow-up help, we offer ad-hoc support.
