How can we bridge the divide between digital ambition and operational reality in critical national infrastructure (CNI)?
Our latest research surveyed 360 Senior IT Decision Makers, Senior Business Decision Makers and Engineers from CNI organisations globally to understand the challenges these organisations are currently facing.
Physical assets in CNI organisations can be geographically dispersed with legacy equipment designed for years, if not decades, of in-service life. in addition, equipment is often managed by long-term service providers / partners. This makes it a challenge for CNI organisations to have a single up to date detailed view of their physical assets.Simon VineyGlobal Resilience Lead, BAE Systems Digital Intelligence
Respondents identified as working for critical national infrastructure organisations in the following sectors:
Key findings
76%
of CNI decision makers stated that transformation in asset management is a priority
57%
are under pressure to ensure operational systems and complex physical assets are reliable
3-in-4
attribute these pressures to mounting geopolitical tensions
We see AI and data are considered as enablers for transformation by our research respondents, with better decision making a key target outcome. Product lifecycle management can play a crucial role here, because it can provide a single pane view of an asset, making the best use of available data for predictive insights around maintenance and supply chains. This is something we are already doing in the defence sector to boost availability of complex defence assets.Luigi SidoliHead of Digital Management, BAE Systems Digital Intelligence
