If you’re using industry cloud, what sort of improvements are you seeing so far? And how did you approach current state/future state analysis before implementing?

Security of industrial cloud data and the ease of its accessibility have both increased significantly. The cloud providers have acknowledged this was a critical issue and are addressing it well, along with making it easier to onboard the technology so companies can move to the cloud easier and more efficiently.

Better and more secure access to data, better service/tools offerings, diverse general-purpose packed solutions that accelerate the digital transformation of business.
The entry barriers are way lowered, the cost of technology try-outs become no stoppers for innovation.

Streamlining access to data and its accessibility with the tools to analyze what is required for business needs is the single most improvement of industrial cloud.   If we can draw the comparison between "Time and Motion" and "current state/future state analysis" both use establishing where we are now state. Then exploring means of improvement to the current state or model to give a target for the future state. We set a corporate target and use this process within a continuous  improvement cycle to try and achieve the goal.
