🌟TeamViewer®, a global leader in remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions, hosted its Experience Day at Paulaner Bräuhaus in Singapore on September 19. During the event, CEO Oliver Steil and Sojung Lee, President of TeamViewer APAC, shared insights on the importance of bridging the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). 🌟As digital transformation accelerates, the integration of IT and OT has become crucial for modern industries. Traditionally, IT managed data and communications, while OT oversaw physical processes in industrial environments. However, advancements in technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and remote connectivity solutions are breaking down these silos, transforming industrial operations—a key topic discussed at the event. 🌟TeamViewer emphasized its ambition to lead this convergence, aiming to connect everything from PCs to industrial machinery under the expansive concept of “remote everything.” 🏎TeamViewer’s Experience Day in Singapore was held in conjunction with the Singapore Grand Prix, featuring a special appearance by Mercedes’ seven-time world champion, Sir Lewis Hamilton. At the event, he shared his experience in using TeamViewer’s products to enhance his and Mercedes-AMG Petronas’s performance on track. 🤝It is known that TeamViewer has a strong partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas, providing technology for real-time data analysis, ranging from telemetry to teammate comparisons.
