Operational Technology Services

In the rapidly changing world of utilities, the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) has become critical to achieve operational excellence and resilience. Traditional OT operations — characterized by proprietary, single-purpose systems — are being transformed by grid modernization initiatives.

At 1898 & Co., we leverage our deep experience across both IT and OT to help utilities navigate this transformation, providing seamless integration and delivering optimized performance of their digital ecosystems. From strategic planning through all aspects of implementation, our consultants maximize the returns on your technology investment.
