Alarm Adviser makes way for native alarm development

Andy Graham | December 12, 2019

The AVEVA Alarm Adviser product will come to end-of-life on 22 January 2020.

The decision to retire Alarm Adviser as a standalone product is to allow for heightened focus and continued investment in native alarm analysis functionality within the AVEVA on-premise SCADA/Historian offers and the integrated alarm analysis functionality within AVEVA Insight.

 

What does the end of life of Alarm Adviser mean for existing customers?

Existing customers can continue to use Alarm Adviser after the 22 January, as it will have continued support throughout the remainder of its Support Lifecycle. However, there will be no further developments or updates released.

Alarm Adviser 2017 is under Mainstream Support Lifecycle until 20 September 2020, Extended until 20 September 2022, and will transitions to Mature after that date.
