Frost & Sullivan Names Tatsoft a Visionary Leader in SCADA
The Frost Radar™: SCADA for Industrial Control Environments, 2026 recognizes the FrameworX architecture, with AI engineering built on a Unified Namespace and knowledge graph.
HOUSTON, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan has named Tatsoft a Visionary Leader in the Frost Radar™: SCADA for Industrial Control Environments, 2026. The Frost Radar™ benchmarks supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms on two indices, innovation and growth, and Visionary Leaders are the companies with a strong balance of both.
"Tatsoft's combination of modern software architecture, embedded AI capabilities, and commercially disruptive licensing earns it a position among the Visionary Leaders, reflecting a strong innovation profile and significant growth potential," said Sebastian Trolli, Research Director and Principal Analyst, Industrial Automation & Software, at Frost & Sullivan.
Frost & Sullivan's profile of Tatsoft centers on FrameworX 10.1, released in May 2026, and on the architecture underneath it: a current .NET runtime, WebAssembly, so one build runs on desktop, web and mobile, deployment on Windows, Linux and Docker, and a Unified Namespace (UNS) and knowledge graph built into the platform. In practice, FrameworX 10.1 runs on .NET 10, a plant's data sits in one namespace, and engineers extend the application in C#, VB.NET and Python 3. Frost & Sullivan describes the platform as "one of the most current architectures in this Frost Radar™ analysis."
FrameworX is AI-Native by architecture: MCP servers for the Designer, the Console and the Runtime, plus an AI Tutor that adapts to each user's knowledge and experience, all released and supported today. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, lets AI agents and human engineers work on the same platform surfaces. With the FrameworX AI Designer, the AI works on the actual project and its tags in a cooperative and protected environment: every change is visible, and nothing happens behind the scenes or without an engineer's approval.
The FrameworX AI Runtime works with standard cloud models and equally with models installed on a local network with no connection to the internet. Each deployment can be given its own set of MCP Tools, so engineers and plant owners decide exactly what information operators and other applications can reach. Frost & Sullivan notes that SCADA customers often face data sovereignty, latency, cybersecurity and connectivity constraints that make cloud-only AI difficult. FrameworX meets that requirement: it connects to a model on the local network, or to external systems under cybersecurity best practices.
"Frost & Sullivan looked past the feature list to the architecture, and that is where FrameworX was designed from the start," said Marc Taccolini, founder and CEO of Tatsoft. "FrameworX is one unified and integrated platform, with every module included and with the performance and reliability industrial operations require, at a cost that keeps your company competitive."
Frost & Sullivan ties the architecture to modernization. Its profile says FrameworX gives Tatsoft "a software-architecture story that is stronger than traditional HMI modernization," and that unlimited-capacity licensing "lowers switching friction for customers consolidating multiple legacy SCADA or connectivity licenses." To make the upgrade of brownfield systems practical, Tatsoft is releasing a migration service built to update the technology with high reliability and at low cost. The application the plant runs stays the same; the platform and tools underneath it evolve. Automation and decades of experience make the process reliable.
The migration method and results are shown in the film "How to Migrate a Legacy SCADA Application: AI Builds the Screens, You Own the Model": https://youtu.be/VSTt4nkqK1s
Any plant running a legacy HMI or SCADA application can send Tatsoft a read-only copy of it. The copy is held in confidence, used only to evaluate the upgrade, and the report goes only to its owner. The assessment is free and takes 2 to 5 working days. If the plant goes ahead, the migration is a fixed price quoted from that report, and it is paid only if the plant accepts the result of the first migration pass. Specific field integrations, validation and field commissioning are done by the plant or contracted through Tatsoft's network of system integrators.
