Connectivity to IT
While IT and controls engineers are often managed separately and given separate
job performance goals, those goals are beginning to align because the availability
of information is crucially important in both roles. Some companies are
beginning to form hybrid groups and hire individuals with experience in both
areas to form policies, guidelines, and procedures for design and maintenance of a
common network architecture.
