About

Hi I am the owner of OWL IT, Oskar Landman, I am a senior consultant and former MVP with 15 years experience in consultancy. Working as a freelance consultant in the management and automation area.

If you require customizations on top of System Center Operations Manager, Service Manager, Orchestrator please send me a message. I can deliver custom written management packs, reports,  runbooks or automation for your requests or you can hire my expertise.

For reference please check out some of my work on the TechNet gallery.

I have started with Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 and followed the Microsoft Monitoring lifecycle to System Center and now Microsoft Operations Management Suite.

The last years my focus shifted from monitoring to Service Management and Automation using System Center Service Manager and Orchestrator to deliver fully automated self-service to several enterprise clients.

The development in the cloud area has been a red line throughout the last years and this led me to several cloud based / hybrid projects including Windows Azure Pack, Service Management Automation, Azure, Azure Site Recovery, Azure Automation etc.

I have always been focused on extending existing solutions to provide a perfect match to the customers requests. This led me to writing custom management packs for SCOM where I can truly say I have seen it all, even up to monitoring your car, living room or your Xbox Kinect!

Because of my deep knowledge on authoring management packs the logical step was to shift to SCSM where this knowledge can be re-used and extended since the platform uses WPF I found myself soon writing C# and .net code to deliver customized solutions on top of SCSM.

The automation part let me to orchestrator and to start writing custom integration packs with activities. A logical next step was to using PowerShell native to write integration connectors between products and to finish of the Azure ARM platform can be used using json and xml which are familiar to me as well.
