Changing an entire infrastructure to digital technology is a daunting task and changing it while it is being used is even more challenging. The task of infrastructure owner operators is to take advantage of the advanced outputs from harnessing technology integration, and in many instances the customer expects, while not disturbing the current users. Technology is changing so quickly that many are stymied into doing nothing. While Rome wasn’t built in a day, it did have a starting day. The technology we build today will lead to future success.
