One of the largest gas and electric utilities in North America faced the need to scale configuration management and streamline a Field Area Network refresh to maintain NERC-CIP compliance and avoid heavy fines. They partnered with Itential to accelerate change processes, integrate automation with sources of truth, and bring their network back into compliance without increasing headcount.
We eventually found ourselves unable to maintain accuracy with many different sources of truth to manually go and update. Any automation solution we adopted had to also solve for this problem.”
