Digital Transformation and IT & OT Conversion Round Table
Track: Digital Transformation
Jim Dudley, Piedmont Natural Gas, Enterprise Architect

Asset-intensive business models are in the early stages of being transformed by the convergence of IT and OT. While this is not a new concept, the growing implications for companies, consumers, regulators and other key stakeholders are increasingly moving to the forefront.

This interactive roundtable will discuss and explore the origins of this convergence, the powerful forces at work that are causing its acceleration in certain industries, and the opportunities it presents for those organizations that are best positioned to seize them.
