have become essential to customer satisfaction and
business efficiency and their function extends far
beyond that of a ‘data repository’.

The digital transformation requires agile, carefully
planned IT infrastructure, efficient data access and
exchange. Each of these factors is vital to success.

generations of active equipment need to be robust,
flexible and scalable to adapt to new requirements.
