Summary

During this Smart Industry webinar, we will explain the difference between IT and OT mindsets at manufacturing companies, which job titles and people tend to populate each, why in the past they have been “siloed,” and their missions have been apart (if not at odds), and what can be done—both in terms of projects and technologies but also culture—to bring them together. The success of a company’s digital transformation could hinge on this “odd couple” getting along.
