IT/OT Integration
IT/OT integration combines information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) departments into a single technology system. IT involves managing data and digital information through computers, software, and networks within an organization, while OT involves monitoring and controlling devices, machinery, and processes in industrial companies. When IT and OT are merged, processes and information flows are streamlined.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About IT/OT Integration

Integrating technologies on the back-end of a network allows IT best practices to be applied to operations. Data analysis on the information side can be used to drive production on the operational side. Security measures protect data and infrastructures from potential threats.
