Manage Operations, Not Servers: The SaaS Approach to SCADA

As Emerson consultant Douglas Kinnaird explains in his recent article for Control Engineering, software-as-a-service (SaaS) SCADA solutions offer manufacturers — especially those with lean staffing and limited IT support — with the best of all worlds: increased productivity, flexibility and performance, and reduced overhead. Whether as part of a greenfield project or a long-overdue modernization, Kinnaird says working closely with one of the industry’s most trusted automation software experts like Emerson is critical to evaluating the best SCADA solution and maximizing return on investment.
