In critical sectors like manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, IT-OT convergence has become a key priority. These industries are realising that integrating Information Technology (IT) with Operational Technology (OT) is not just about connecting systems but also about aligning people, processes and technologies.
Critical industries are under constant pressure to boost efficiency and minimise downtime. One effective solution is partial IT/OT convergence, which provides a strategic path forward while avoiding the risks and complexities of full integration.
For decades, operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) have existed in separate silos, each with its priorities and practices. Bridging these worlds is no simple task since it can feel risky and even overwhelming.
In today’s global economy, supply chain resilience has become more critical than ever before. As companies strive to create more efficient, transparent, and sustainable supply chains, the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is playing an increasingly vital role.
