Abstract

This IDC Perspective connects the importance of intelligence about data to enable future enterprise operations, enabling integration of operational technology (OT), IT, and partner data to drive resilient decisions in a digital-first world.

"As IT and operations technology converge, companies will focus on using digital capabilities to build a resilient organization through instrumentation, infrastructure, integration, and insight," said Stewart Bond, research director, Data Integration and Intelligence Software research at IDC. "Leveraging a data control plane architecture will enable organizations to take control of highly distributed, diverse, and dynamic data in modern operational and analytical data environments, improving trust in data and data-driven decisions for better business and operational outcomes."
