Abstract: 

Integrating acquired OT/SCADA environments requires far more than migrating technology. It demands a disciplined strategy that balances operational continuity, cyber risk, seller separation, organizational readiness, and long-term sustainability. Drawing on real-world utility acquisition experience, this session presents a practical leadership playbook for evaluating and implementing lift-and-shift, carve-out, and greenfield integration approaches while guiding organizations from acquisition through operational stabilization. Attendees will gain insights into integration strategy selection, governance models, readiness planning, cutover execution, and the leadership practices required to deliver successful OT/SCADA transformations without compromising safe and reliable operations.
