The Digital Transformation Committee explores the role of industrial automation SIs in the digital transformation beyond their traditional function of technology implementation. What is this role? And what do SIs need to do to prepare for this emerging opportunity? There is no formal time commitment for this task force, but it does meet regularly throughout the year.
CSIA has been completely life changing for me. I have grown as a professional and as a person by learning and contributing to the CSIA. The key was jumping in with both feet. I joined a peer group and a committee to fully immerse myself in the motto that if you share 1 idea you’ll get 10 in return. This has proven true over and over again.
