Process Automation System Lifecycle Management Survey - Larry O'Brien

We have developed a new survey to get a better idea how end users are dealing with the lifecycle management issues associated with their installed base of systems, many of which are getting quite old. Users of process automation systems have struggled with the issue of determining when the useful life of their system is over.  Since these systems are crucial to the success of operations from so many aspects, having a strategy based on best practices is essential.  Modern process automation systems are comprised of many components that each have different life expectancies.  Suppliers have worked in concert with their clients to provide replacements for obsolete components that in many cases have extended the life far beyond the original expectation.  This survey will help determine what the current state of the industry is and how it relates to best practices.  All are welcome to take the survey, but we are obviously looking more for end users to respond. We will be happy to send you a consolidated copy of survey results when the survey is complete and all of your information will be kept confidential.
