Targeting IT – OT Transformation for Operational Excellence in Manufacturing
As the Indian economy starts its journey to achieving fiscal health, the manufacturing sector that contributes to more than 14.5% of the country’s GDP, has been adopting digital technologies to implement its Industry 4.0 strategy in order to expand its markets and bring down time to markets.
The sector, which is expected to create 100 million new jobs by next year and reach a value of $1 trillion by 2025, has identified data as a critical asset and now IT professionals are posed with challenges of ensuring free and fast flow of accurate information in order to generate business advantages.
And the network, which has grown by leaps and bounds for these large enterprises, is the biggest cog in ensuring that data and information are flowing without congestion and in a secured manner.
Problems like network congestion, latency, brownouts and long lead times to activate new services all degrade end-user experience or customer experience bringing down the brand of an enterprise forcing them to look for options. According to one 2019 study, 60% of network problems are discovered first by end users or not reported at all. And 95% of customers who’ve had a bad service experience don’t even bother to complain; they simply walk away.
On the other hand, in terms of internal operations, the network edge is fast becoming a source of rich data that, properly harnessed, can generate insights to improve operations, boost system availability, lower costs, and improve safety.
Join us at The Economic Times & Juniper Networks present The Intelligent Enterprise webinar, under the theme of – “Targeting IT – OT transformation for operational excellence in Manufacturing”, to unlock the full potential of your organisation and secure your information highway across all locations from the data center to the campus thereby increasing productivity or efficiency.
