OT Strategy and Advisory Services

It has never been more difficult to manage software whether it be Informational Technology (IT) or Operational Technology (OT). As the primary leader and budget holder for all technology in your company, the CIO is the point position to ensure the best technology is selected, used, integrated, and maintained. From an OT perspective, the VP of Operations and their teams are busier each year and the time of their team to review, support and implement technology is limited.

As engineers with over 100 years of OT Software experience we help bridge the OT-IT gap.

Today's Issues

Inaction due to budget or political concerns
“Stay out of the plant” messaging by OT
Each plant bombarded with salespeople who don’t understand what they are selling
Lack of standardization across your fleet
POC upon POCs with no quantified business value
Your OT strategy for the next 3 to 5 fiscal years
Cybersecurity and AI technologies that bring real value

Our Process

We can be an extension of your team and communicate with credibility the needed technologies starting with your current inventory of software commitments. Selecting technology based on true business value and then planning for the future for Industry 4.0 is a complicated exercise. The team in the plant are way too busy these days to have this on their backs.

Our Advisory Services

We can help in a number of ways with your Operational Technology. Some questions we can help answer:

1) Do you have an inventory of your technology by plant and function?

2) What technology is being successfully used and by who?

3) What is the best technology to deploy for the future?

Our Business Case Analysis

Technology is often deployed in the plant based on a business case provided by the seller. Usually it is somewhat optimistic but possible. What value is your plant achieving with the investment?

We can help you quantify the past and future technology enhancements at your plants and provide a methodology for going forward that is independent of any bias.
