In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. Chief Technology Officers, VPs of Industrial Solutions, product heads for IoT platforms, and commercial directors from APM software providers, OEMs for industrial automation, and system integrators were examples of supply-side sources. Chief operating officers, plant managers, heads of reliability engineering, maintenance directors from manufacturing companies, utilities operations managers, managers of oil and gas facilities, and procurement leads from heavy asset industries like logistics and transportation were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on digital transformation adoption patterns, subscription vs. perpetual licensing strategies, and integration problems with legacy OT systems, primary research verified technology roadmap dates and validated market segmentation.
