Tridium’s software Frameworks are used to develop device-to-enterprise applications, Internet-enabled products and automation systems solutions. As software Frameworks, Niagara and Sedona are universal, reusable software platforms designed to facilitate the development process by allowing developers and programmers to spend more time on meeting software requirements rather than dealing with the more tedious details of providing a working system. The Frameworks provide rapid and easy implementation requirements; lower up-front costs and minimized risks; faster time-to-value and market and greater end user acceptance. One of the far-reaching goals of the Summit is to bring together the powerful resources available to developers – such as development tools, collaboration and social-networking. Sessions in this track dive deep into platforms, offering a technical up-close programmers look at the latest with the Niagara and Sedona Frameworks.
