Abstract
This IDC PlanScape discusses a set of practical considerations for developing a digital engineering organization. IT and operations have traditionally been isolated business units in industrial organizations. As technology capabilities advance rapidly, this has become a barrier for organizations attempting to realize value from these new capabilities. Now, organizations that seek to accelerate and fully capitalize on the opportunities that technology represents must develop new organizational structures for collaboration and skills sharing between these business units.
"One of the first questions I ask when an organization approaches me and tells me that they are struggling with scaling out technology capabilities is how IT and operations work together," says Jonathan Lang, research director for Worldwide IT/OT Convergence Strategies at IDC. "Invariably, while the industry likes to talk about technology solutions, what I find is that the strongest corollary to success is actually the way people in the organization across IT and OT relate to one another."
