Infrastructure organizations are under growing pressure to plan, deliver and operate assets that are safer, more resilient and more productive, while responding to aging networks, constrained funding, regulatory scrutiny and rising public expectations. At the same time, digital technologies are becoming inseparable from physical infrastructure, from ‘smart assets’ that can self-diagnose defects and propose fixes, to digital twins of assets, sites or whole networks. The challenge is not adopting technology for its own sake but integrating it in ways that help improve whole-life asset performance and decision making.
At KPMG, we support public authorities, investors, developers and operators to design, deliver and operate infrastructure that is digitally enabled by default. This includes strengthening IT and operational technology foundations, enhancing interoperability across complex asset environments, managing cyber and vendor risk pragmatically, and enabling data, analytics and automation that support safe, efficient and resilient operations over the long term.
Our global InfraTech network of professionals bring together those with infrastructure, engineering and technology expertise to help organizations translate their technology ambitions into practical, value-led outcomes. Given that technology change relies on adoption, we make sure we keep ‘humans-in-the-loop’ as we help our clients define, design and deploy InfraTech across their organizations.
