IT OT Convergence And Alignment A Complete Guide

IT OT Convergence and Alignment is the critical bridge that lets organizations turn operational technology data into actionable business insight. Without a clear path, companies face siloed systems, security gaps, and missed efficiency gains that erode competitiveness. This book delivers a practical roadmap to unify IT and OT under a common language and governance model. The core of the guide is a structured Self-Assessment built on the RDMAICS framework - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Sustain. Hundreds of targeted questions walk the reader through each phase, scoring each response from one to five. The answers generate a radar chart Scorecard that instantly highlights strengths and weaknesses across the seven criteria, allowing even novice managers to see where their organization stands.
