Information Technology (IT) “Resources required to acquire, process, store and disseminate information for the strategic and operational management of the enterprise.” International Standard IEC 38500, 2008; Rhodes, 2011

Operational Technology (OT) “Physical equipment technologies for engineering asset management” CIEAM, 2010; Streenstrup, 2010, Jaffe, 2011; Waddington, 2008

Engineering Asset Management (EAM)“Manage risks associated with managing, maintaining and replacing critical built asset infrastructure such as water, transport, sewerage and power services”Amadi-Echendu et al, 2010; International Infrastructure Management Manual; 2010; British Standards Institute, 2008; Brown et al, 2011; Too, 2011; CIEAM, 2010; Sklar, 2004

Literature review key findings – EAM is unique

EAM Unique & holistic integrated model

A holistic EAM model in action – Smart grid

A holistic EAM model in action – Smart grid

From : Office of the National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability . (2010). NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0 . National Institute of Standards and Technology : Gaithersburg

Key components of the integrated EAM model creates 3 key problems;

1. The benefits of governing information are not being realised

2. Documenting convergence of data, processes, applications and human resources for EAM in the academic literature is not evident

3. Abundance of regulations, standards, terminology and frameworks for governing information so a best fit of framework components for the unique integrated EAM environment is not evident

Literature review key findings – holistic EAM nature creates 3 problems

Principle question

This research aims to study adoption of information governance and how it bridges the gaps of converging information and operational technologies in Engineering Asset Management organisations in Australia. The following sub questions will be explored

•To what extent is information technology and operational technology converging •To what extent are organisations managing business critical information•How are Engineering Asset Management organisations adopting information governance •How are EAM organisations bridging the gap between information and operational technology
