Why Governance, Not Technology, Decides the Future of OT Data

Industrial leaders are investing billions in AI, cloud, and digital twins. Yet according to Gartner, "Through 2025, 80% of organizations seeking to scale digital business will fail because they do not take a modern approach to data governance."

This whitepaper explains why governance is the true enabler of transformation and provides a practical roadmap for embedding it into daily OT practice.
