ArchestrA Certified SI

The highest level of participation in the Wonderware® System Integrator (SI) Programme is the ArchestrA® Certified tier, which acknowledges system integrators' expertise with building products that leverage ArchestrA technology and specifically the Wonderware Industrial Application Server.

The ArchestrA Certified tier is indispensable to system integrators who want to maintain a competitive edge through the implementation of market-leading technology, and who also would like to develop strong ongoing relationships with Wonderware.

Wonderware makes a concerted effort to support the activities of our ArchestrA Certified SIs by providing information specific to their interests. If you would like to develop a closer, strategic relationship with Wonderware, you may be eligible to become an ArchestrA Certified SI.
