IT/OT Convergence: The Blueprint for Intelligent Infrastructure

What is it: This Intel white paper, developed with input from the Intelligent Building Advisory Board, provides a comprehensive blueprint for integrating Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in building environments. The document underscores how IT/OT convergence can drive down operational expenses by as much as 30% and energy consumption by up to 40%, while improving building performance, user experience, security, and sustainability. It highlights practical implementation strategies, benefits, stakeholder perspectives, and real-world case studies (e.g., Sidara Global HQ, Cisco’s PENN1 Collaboration Hub). The report also examines alignment with LEED v5 and WELL Building Standard, demonstrating how convergence supports decarbonization, health, and regulatory compliance in the built environment.
