Business Imperative: IT/OT Convergence
“The benefits that come from managing Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) convergence, alignment and integration include optimized business processes, enhanced information for better decisions, reduced costs, lower risks and shortened project timelines.”
– Gartner

Major Benefits
• Real-time situational awareness across the enterprise
• Real-time analytics: Predictive maintenance, energy costs, operating efficiency, resource allocation
• Asset management: where are they, how are they being used
• Continuous security assessment and threat response
• Holistic system-of-systems (SoS) management

Problem: IT and OT Face Different Realities Operational Systems IT Systems
Speed “Real world” (physical processes) Human
Architecture Decentralized (peer-to-peer) Centralized data center (hub and spoke)
Data flow Event-driven: sensors, alarms, commands. Extremely time critical.
Transactional, non real-time
Platforms Tiny embedded or mobile systems through powerful servers
Powerful servers
Lack performance and scalability
Lack integration power

Siemens Wind Power: Connext in Action
Siemens relies on RTI to…• Ensure turbines intelligently
communicate with networks and IT systems
• Enable real-time performance and distributed operational control
• Integrate business systems to maximize efficiency and detect maintenance problems
RTI melds distributed performance with IT business intelligence
