Frost & Sullivan
Recognizes Tridium's
Innovative Integration
Technology for the
Building Automation
Systems Industry
Palo Alto
,
Calif. —April
23, 2007 — Frost &
Sullivan selected
Tridium, Inc. as the
recipient of the 2007
Frost & Sullivan
Industry Innovation &
Advancement of the Year
Award in the North
American building
automation systems
market.
Tridium’s
ground-breaking
open-systems protocol
framework integration
gives manufacturers a
universal platform in
which they can develop
Internet-enabled
equipment systems and
device-to-enterprise
applications.
The vast
capacity of Tridium’s
Niagara Framework® has
enabled the company to
serve customer segments
beyond traditional
building control. These
include
telecommunications,
medical equipment,
industrial, M2M,
convergence retail and
the highly anticipated
security controls
platform.
“Niagara
Framework® integrates
diverse systems and
devices, regardless of
manufacturer or
communication protocol,
into a unified platform
that can be easily
managed and controlled
in real time using a
standard web browser,”
says Frost & Sullivan
Research Analyst
Jorge Moreno. “This
framework is an
extensible platform that
supports the rapid
development of a wide
range of
device-to-enterprise
applications and
provides many benefits
in a variety of customer
applications.”
Niagara
Framework®'s integration
software enables
building managers to
track and collect energy
information to generate
energy savings, improve
efficiency, and monitor
the condition of
equipment. Tridium also
has the added benefit of
being able to integrate
this data with a
facility’s existing
enterprise application,
using various accepted
Internet and web service
standards.
In
addition to traditional
integrators, the
technology is also being
adopted by OEMs and
reseller partners who
are either implementing
the product as is or
building on existing
code. Partners and
clients are gaining
greater flexibility in
targeting specific
end-user requirements
and in meeting stringent
government regulations.
Niagara
Framework®'s technology
also helps manufacturers
to move their products
to the web, reduce
development time,
migrate legacy systems,
develop new service
offerings, and open up
new markets.
To enable
the security extension
to its Niagara
Framework®, Tridium
recently launched its
Vykon Security platform,
which helps authorized
personnel manage access
rights and schedules,
time and attendance, and
alarm response in real
time through a standard
web browser. Since this
physical security system
is based on an
open-systems protocol,
it reduces costs by
allowing remote
maintenance and
troubleshooting, reduced
installation time,
requires less training
and is completely
scalable.
To
further enhance the
Niagara Framework®,
Tridium has incorporated
oBIX, which is a new
standard in web-based
service technology and
it uses widely accepted
IP Internet protocols.
“The
robust Niagara
Framework® can be used
in a variety of
applications such as
energy management,
convergence retailing,
lighting control, M2M,
total facilities
management, and
recently, the much
anticipated security
application,” notes
Moreno. “A key factor
that differentiates
Tridium from competitors
is that it does not
limit itself to just
building automation but
has expanded into new
applications such as
Telecommunications,
Medical Equipment,
Industrial, Homeland
Security, Life Sciences,
Kiosks and Office
Equipment.
An
important foundation of
Tridium’s achievement is
its continuous efforts
in research &
development, which has
enabled it to be an
early mover and offer
inventive as well as
updated technology. It
is in recognition of
these achievements that
it has earned the 2007
Industry Innovation &
Advancement of the Year
Award.
Each year
Frost & Sullivan
presents this Award to
the company that has
proven to be a leader in
the industry and through

technology, sound
business strategy, and
research efforts, has

for its broader, more
comprehensive
participation in the
industry and for its
contributions to the
advancement of the
market.
