Welcome to the forum!!!
Most people here will tell you the choice of manufacturer is largely dependent on local support. For example I have equal Siemens and AB support, GE is third, and it drops way off after that. So our choices for PLC and SCADA follow our support. Since you are experienced in sales this should be easy to figure out.
Next step would be general knowledge of plc, HMI, and then SCADA... based on what platform you want to work with.
If I did not answer your questions, others will post or you can reply with more specific questions.
