Roles and Responsibilities
Kristian Steenstrup is a vice president and Gartner Fellow in Gartner Research and the industry services director for the Energy and Utilities Industry Advisory Service. As a Gartner Fellow, he is involved in cross-topic research across Gartner, leading a global special project on IT and operational technology alignment. This project will define, document and explore the issues arising from the convergence of IT and operational technology platforms and the need to have alignment between IT and OT. (Clients in asset-intensive, engineering-led or technical/physical businesses have parallel organizations owning IT and OT. Because of technology platform changes, demands from transformational projects, and management of technology needs, IT and OT need to be more closely aligned.) Additionally, he conducts and delivers industry research on industry-specific business systems, including EAM, and work and asset management systems, and he is responsible for vendor analysis in these areas.
Since joining Gartner, Mr. Steenstrup has published research on comparative ERP studies, analysis of business applications in the Asia/Pacific market, and application of software technology in the energy and utilities industry. Immediately after the acquisition of Meta, he was the manager of the Energy and Utilities advisory group. He has presented papers at conferences worldwide covering topics such as asset management improvements, real-time integration of monitoring systems, and the integration of asset management and ERP systems. Prior to joining Gartner, Mr. Steenstrup worked in ERP and EAM system design and delivery for more than 15 years in a number of global markets, including the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia and Latin America. During this period, he was directly involved in emerging technologies applied to utilities and worked on implementation projects at Hawaiian Electric Co., Pacific Power, Nebraska Public Power, Scottish Power and Toronto Hydro. A resident in North America from 1993 through 2000, Mr. Steenstrup was involved in ERP delivery, sales and software development for these markets. On returning to Australia, he was part of corporate management for an international software company, responsible for the initiation of new revenue groups and the overall product marketing for software and solutions.
