The Future of OT Data Integration: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
Mankind has always advanced by improving how we collect, process, and share information. Today, Operational Technology (OT) systems—those that run our factories, utilities, energy grids, and production environments—are generating unprecedented amounts of data. When this data is properly integrated with Information Technology (IT) and other enterprise systems, the potential benefits are transformative resulting in more efficient operations, higher quality, safer environments, and ultimately, more satisfied stakeholders.
But OT data integration is not simply about connecting systems. It’s about creating a seamless flow of trusted information across traditionally siloed domains. The future will be shaped by a combination of technology, governance, leadership, and innovation. Here are some of the trends and what organizations can do to prepare.
