Building the Smart Utility through IT OT integration

Utility companies need to institutionalize a datadriven value chain that enables them to integrate their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems, and convert real-time data into actionable intelligence. Leveraging Asset Information Management (AIM) frameworks can achieve this goal, and boost efciency, trim expenses, and enable customer engagement. Disruptive changes are impacting the entire utilities sector.
