ARC Advisory Group’s recent research reveals that the landscape of SCADA systems procurement is evolving rapidly, driven by innovative business models that are making advanced monitoring solutions more accessible and cost-effective for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Companies are coming up with new business models, which make SCADA systems very affordable. Earlier with limited budget, Urban Local Bodies-water/wastewater systems had to purchase the complete SCADA software package and it was difficult to cover necessary upgrades. However, now many SCADA companies are introducing new business models, which offer subscription and/or flexible licensing options.
"Cybersecurity has become a clear differentiator in this space as there have been several highly publicized recent attacks on the water industry SCADA systems. Suppliers of advanced SCADA systems that aim to thrive in this highly competitive market will need to offer secure solutions, incorporate emerging technologies, develop water-focused application suites in-house or via partnerships, and continuously innovate to be able to satisfy the growing needs of the end user community. Legacy systems are notoriously vulnerable to cyberattacks. The misconception that a “closed system” is a secure system is going away. New regulations aimed at security issues, such as intrusion detection, cybersecurity, and water supply security put additional pressure on the water & wastewater industry to deploy cost-efficient and innovative SCADA systems,” according to Mark Sen Gupta, Director of Research and key author of ARC's SCADA Systems for Water and Wastewater Market Research.
