Mitigation of Risks Associated With IT & AT Implementation Convergence Using Smarter Operation Transformation (SOT) Methodology
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The intensification of the economic globalization process and the increasing interdependence of markets has been imposing a growing need for improving the competitiveness of all industrial sectors. The convergence of information technology (IT) and automation technology (AT) of productive sectors and administrative corporations is a powerful tool for achieving the high levels of efficiency and effectiveness required in the competitive scenarios of current markets. Despite the progress in connectivity achieved by both technologies, the process of IT & AT integration is complex and presents significant challenges in terms of the management and business environment adherence of the industry that goes beyond the technical aspects of IT & AT convergence. This article presents the development of a methodology for planning the convergence of technology assets, named smarter operation transformation (SOT) methodology, which aims to reduce the risks involved in the integration of IT & AT and outlines the development planning for convergence to critical success factors (CSF) of the company. This article also presents the application of the SOT methodology in a process of convergence and the results for an important company in the sector of consumer good products.
