These approaches are enabling market leaders to deliver on the promise of digital transformation and cut costs. In fact, 21% of CIOs at heavy manufacturing businesses recently surveyed by Gartner said digital initiatives were their top priority.1
However, delivering a successful transformation isn’t easy. Digital initiatives in today’s manufacturing companies need encompass increasing numbers of connected devices and equipment at the network edge, and digital platforms and cloud infrastructure to bring it all together. Those platforms need to integrate and process an enormous amount of data, to gain greater visibility of assets and deeper business insights, while securing that data and your organization’s intellectual property.

In this guide, we demonstrate how you can take advantage of these new capabilities while ensuring your IT environment remains robust. The key is to reinvent how your IT team operates while gaining complete visibility across your applications, cloud services, and data.
