Finally, maintain alignment with evolving business needs through regular performance reviews and feedback mechanisms. Continuous monitoring, periodic technology reassessment, and documented expansion processes ensure the infrastructure delivers ongoing value as needs change.

This blueprint helps organizations transition to future-proof infrastructure that delivers IT/OT convergence benefits while managing risks. It balances technical architecture with operational practices, recognizing successful convergence requires changes to system design, implementation, and lifecycle management.
"Data is the new currency in intelligent buildings, but its value is only realized when systems can communicate seamlessly. The integration of IT and OT networks creates a unified ecosystem where data flows freely between previously isolated domains. This enables real-time optimization, predictive maintenance, and enhanced decision-making that drives both operational efficiency and occupant satisfaction. The organizations that master this convergence will lead the next generation of smart infrastructure."
