This 1 hour, 28 minute Meet the Experts Q&A session video from the Emerson Exchange conference helped attendees gain greater knowledge of the different considerations and choices that must be evaluated and made during the early planning stages of an automation project.

Experts included Darrell Tank, John Dolenc, Jay Jeffreys, Marc Troy, and Matt Stoner from Emerson and Andre Dicaire from Spartan (LBP). They focused on the operational benefits, justification, modernization strategies, pros and cons of different system architectures, configuration standards, etc.. with regards to the impact that each may have in the overall lifecycle of an automation project.
