IT/OT Assessments: Bridging the Gap Between Operations and Technology
In modern manufacturing, the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is critical to efficiency, scalability, and competitive advantage. Yet, many organizations struggle with siloed systems, outdated infrastructure, and a lack of real-time visibility across their operations.
mode40’s IT/OT Assessment provides manufacturers with a clear roadmap to unify their digital and operational environments—ensuring seamless connectivity, security, and data-driven decision-making.
