ELMA Kurtalj Wins 2009 LonMark International Software Solution Award

ELMA Kurtalj picked up the LonMark International Best of the Year Software Solution Award at the awards ceremony held at LONCOM 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany. The Software Solution Award was presented for their BrightCore Distributed Building Management Infrastructure, a distributed software system that mediates between control networks and client programs. The Software Solution Award is presented every year for a new innovative solution.

After accepting the Award, Nino Kurtalj, President of ELMA Kurtalj, commented, “I am so happy that we have won this award for our innovative solution which I feel will revolutionise the building automation market. BrightCore enables us to offer a cost-effective network that covers all networks. Communicating directly with the nodes we have now made it possible for ICT professionals, who are not necessarily building automation experts, to create connections to enterprise-class applications, as well
as building special corporate applications like energy management dashboards. When we created BrightCore we decided to focus on the needs of companies rather than the technology.”

“Just like its name, BrightCore is a system which has a well-defined encapsulated core and is completely extendable to be sufficiently versatile for today's continuously changing market demands. It is a scalable system which can talk to and control hundreds of buildings from one central location. This award confirms our belief that BrightCore is an innovative software solution that will change the building automation market as we know it today.”
