Litmus Edge connected the full breadth of OT and IT assets with out-of-the-box support for any driver, protocol or connection. Quick ROI on projects, zero disruption, and scale at own pace. The solution could integrate the data to any destination and was easy-to-use with little training required and a reasonable total-cost-of-ownership.​

Outcomes + Benefits​
