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)
