  • Manual OT Foundations imports (14%) and integration-only approaches (5%) suggest that many organizations still face fragmented onboarding processes and limited automation maturity.
  • The findings highlight that automated discovery and integrated CMDB population capabilities remain a major opportunity area for improving OT data accuracy, operational visibility, and governance readiness
