Tridium is excited to bring you the next TridiumTalk series of webinars exclusively tailored to support the specifier community. The TridiumTalk - Specifier Series has been developed to provide relevant information to our specifier community – engineers, designers, consultants and other professionals involved in developing specifications for building controls systems. We frequently get requests for help in writing specifications for Niagara, and so this series was developed to address that need.
The first webinar will provide an “introduction” to Niagara for those who want to learn what the Niagara Framework® is, and why it provides benefits to specifiers, and then move on to more in-depth sessions aimed at writing advanced specifications, cyber security considerations, analytics and OT network design. Sessions are presented mostly by Tridium employees and respected industry professionals who will share their real-world experience as well.
