To Do: Review

Develop Persona-Specific Headlines: The core concept should be translated into benefit-oriented language tailored to the primary audiences:

For OT / Operations Managers: "The SCADA Reliability You Trust, Reimagined for the Digital Age." This phrasing acknowledges their primary concern (reliability) while introducing the benefit of modernization.
For IT / Developers: "A True.NET SCADA Platform: Build Once for Desktop and Web." This highlights the core architectural advantage and a key TCO benefit (eliminating parallel development).
For Executives / System Integrators: "Eliminate the Trade-off: Get Enterprise-Grade Operations and Modern Architecture in One Complete Platform." This speaks directly to the business value of not having to choose between legacy reliability and modern flexibility.

Operations Engineer (combines OT/Operations Manager)
- "Design reliable systems that operators trust"
- Focus: Alarms, historian, redundancy
Developer/IT Professional
- "Build with modern tools and practices"
- Focus: APIs, scripting, integration
System Integrator/Solutions Architect
- "Deliver projects faster with higher margins"
- Focus: Architecture patterns, migration, TCO
