Access to New Technology, Analytics and Cybersecurity Updates

In today’s connected buildings, staying up to date is no longer just about accessing new features. It’s about maintaining cybersecurity, ensuring compliance, improving operational efficiency and gaining access to the latest technology innovations. An active Niagara Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) plays a key role in helping organisations achieve all of these objectives.

When covered by a Niagara SMA, users gain access to the latest Niagara Framework® releases as soon as they become generally available. This includes critical cybersecurity updates, software enhancements and new functionality designed to help building owners, operators and service providers maximise the value of their Niagara systems.

Why Is an Active SMA Important?

Cyber threats continue to evolve, and timely software upgrades remain an essential part of any cyber defence strategy. An active SMA makes it easier to stay current with the Niagara Framework release cycle, helping ensure that systems benefit from the latest security fixes, updated connectivity options, enhanced visualisation tools and deployment capabilities.

Maintaining an active SMA also provides confidence that your software has been tested to comply with current standards while enabling access to emerging technologies as they become available.

Key Benefits of a Niagara SMA

A Niagara Software Maintenance Agreement provides access to a range of valuable benefits, including:

• Access to the newest technology
• Easier asset management
• Niagara Analytics upgrades
• New and updated drivers
• Cybersecurity updates
• Inclusion with subscription licences

These benefits help keep Niagara deployments aligned with rapidly changing technology and cybersecurity requirements while providing access to new functionality and innovation.

Supporting Building Owners and IT Teams

For building owners and IT teams, operational data plays an increasingly important role in decision-making. At the same time, organisations must ensure that collected and stored data remains protected.

An active SMA enables users to download the latest Niagara releases, including important cybersecurity fixes. It also provides access to productivity-enhancing features that help operators manage buildings, equipment and processes more effectively. In addition, users can stay aligned with new approaches to energy monitoring, energy conservation and performance reporting.

Benefits for Service Providers and Integrators

Consulting engineers, systems integrators and controls service providers can also benefit significantly from an active SMA. By keeping software current and aligned with cybersecurity best practices, service providers can deliver greater value to their customers while maintaining modern, compliant solutions.

Having continuous access to software updates allows projects to be upgraded in a timely manner, reducing time spent on licensing administration and increasing focus on higher-value activities such as troubleshooting, optimisation and operational support.

Access to Ongoing Technology Innovation

The Niagara Framework development team continues to focus on advancements across several key areas, including cybersecurity, connectivity, cloud integration, analytics, visualisation, certification and deployment flexibility. Customers with active SMA coverage automatically gain access to new releases and can begin benefiting from new functionality as it becomes available.

Recent developments include updated cybersecurity measures, enhancements to connectivity and cloud tools, Niagara Analytics improvements, deployment efficiency updates and support for evolving industry standards. Access to certain cloud connectivity tools and drivers also requires an active Niagara SMA.

Cost-Effective Updates Through the Enterprise SMA Programme

Keeping multiple systems up to date has never been more cost effective. Through the Enterprise SMA update programme, organisations can access attractive renewal options when updating multiple Niagara-based systems together.
