IDC’s New Future of Operations Framework Calls on Companies to Become Resilient Decision Makers to Achieve Digital Success
To respond to the increasing demand for more custom products and experiences, organizations must pivot from an operational mindset around throughput and efficiency to a market-driven mindset. As IT and Operations Technology (OT) converge, companies will focus on using digital capabilities to build a resilient organization through instrumentation, infrastructure, integration, and insight. To help organizations expand to the OT buyer and become resilient decision makers, International Data Corporation (IDC) has published a new Future of Operations (FoO) framework.

Traditionally, operational data has been siloed by both technology and organization. Systems have typically been in place to pull critical financial and compliance information from operations by the IT organization. And those same systems push down orders and demands as gathered by the IT systems. It is then up to the operation to have processes and systems in place to turn that flow into an executed business function. The drive to the Future of Operations rests on having the ability to move beyond the push/pull nature of information flow.
“Digital engineering is the piece that companies have been missing to become more resilient and to tightly align operations with their customers’ needs,” said Kevin Prouty, group vice president of Manufacturing and Energy Insights. “The convergence of IT and OT is the driving force behind digital engineering and the resiliency at its core.”
