Video short: Siemens’ Rainer Brehm explains why the time for IT/OT convergence is now

By Scott Salzwedel

In most organizations, operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) are completely disconnected in terms of architecture, technology and responsibilities.

But all that is about to change.

We see technological advancements throughout a variety of industries. There are breakthroughs in automation, compute power, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. With these types of advancements, it makes sense that now is the time for the IT and OT worlds to come together and Siemens is leading the way in IT/OT convergence.
