IT/OT Integration & Connected Operations
Bring your machines, control systems, building infrastructure, energy assets, and enterprise applications into one secure, scalable integration layer.
We help manufacturers, commercial facilities, and infrastructure operators connect their existing systems — control platforms, building management, IoT devices, energy systems, and enterprise software — into a single source of real-time operational visibility, without replacing the infrastructure you've already invested in.
Overview
Connected Operations integrates your operational systems — PLCs, SCADA platforms, building management systems, energy infrastructure, and sensors — with enterprise IT systems like ERP, MES, and analytics platforms. The goal: eliminate data silos and create one operational layer where information flows securely across assets, facilities, and business systems.
The result is real-time visibility, stronger governance, and a foundation ready for IoT, AI, and advanced analytics — without replacing what you already have. Protocol integration often pairs with our industrial connectivity practice; see also our article on OPC UA and MQTT in connected operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IT/OT integration?
IT/OT integration is the process of connecting operational technology systems such as PLCs, SCADA platforms, sensors, and building management systems with enterprise software, cloud platforms, and business applications. The goal is to create real-time visibility and data flow across operations.
What is Connected Operations?
Connected Operations is an operational model where industrial assets, facility systems, energy infrastructure, and enterprise applications exchange data in real time through a unified integration layer.
Why is Connected Operations important?
Connected Operations helps organizations eliminate data silos, improve operational efficiency, reduce manual reporting, and support Industrial IoT and digital transformation initiatives.
What industries benefit from Connected Operations?
Connected Operations is commonly used in manufacturing, smart buildings, commercial real estate, energy management, utilities, warehousing, and infrastructure operations.
What protocols are commonly used for industrial integration?
The most common industrial integration protocols include OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, BACnet, KNX, EtherNet/IP, and REST APIs. Our industrial connectivity team implements these in production; read OPC UA and MQTT in connected operations for a technical overview.
Can legacy systems be integrated without replacement?
Yes. Most industrial integration projects use protocol gateways, middleware, edge computing platforms, and APIs to connect legacy operational systems without replacing existing infrastructure. Explore our industrial connectivity service for gateway and protocol integration work.
