The growth of the Internet, the move toward energy deregulation, and the aggregation of facilities under a single owner or management company makes interconnectivity and control of diverse devices, including legacy systems, essential as a means to achieving greater operational efficiencies. The lack of standardization among these devices, however, has stood as a barrier to achieving this goal. By providing a cost effective solution for connecting and controlling disparate devices in a unified manner, Niagara unlocks the potential for new services and business opportunities.

Tridium's products offer compelling value to both end users and partners. For OEM and reseller partners, the Niagara Framework solves several key business challenges present in all control-related industries:

- High development costs associated with the foundation or infrastructure layer of software that communicates with devices and manipulates the data from them.
- The need to transfer information from real-time control processes into a homogeneous structure enabling enterprise and service applications.
- Integration of legacy systems to enable companies to easily migrate existing customers to new technologies and product offerings.

Partners who adopt the Niagara Framework eliminate substantial engineering effort and are able to focus on their core competencies of application development and marketing. These companies gain competitive advantage in their markets from lower development costs and quicker time-to-market.
