Presentation

Enterprise Architecture considerations governing the implementation of an Industrial IT strategy at Anglo Platinum
Integrated metallurgical complexes require accurate real time information and integrated automation strategies for optimal performance. This presentation explores the importance of a structured approach to Enterprise Architecture as the basis for designing a sustainable and modular approach towards delivering an Industrial IT strategy. The deployment of such a strategy at Anglo Platinum, the world’s biggest Platinum miner, is used as a case study to explore how these principles are applied in a practical manner.
