Enterprise Architecture Meets OT: Architecting the Future of Utility

The convergence of IT and operational technology (OT) is no longer optional, but most utility organizations lack a unified architectural approach to manage this complexity. Without extending enterprise architecture (EA) to the OT domain, utilities risk innovating and developing OT solutions independent of the broader organization’s architectural strategy, leading to fragmented systems, redundant investments, and gaps in governance and resilience.

As utilities embrace digital transformation through initiatives like advanced metering infrastructure, distributed energy resources integration, and grid modernization, the traditional boundaries between IT and OT are rapidly dissolving.

Join this insightful roundtable as we discuss:

• How EA can evolve to support this convergence of IT and OT.

• Bridging planning gaps, improving interoperability, and strengthening governance across hybrid environments.

• Strategies, frameworks, and lessons learned in adapting EA practices to better serve OT domains and build a resilient digital-physical utility.
