#165 Modernization of fire safety services – Part II: Strategic, phased approach as key to success

Aging fire safety setups present challenges: spare parts availability, high false alarm rates, code compliance, or teams operating in a manual, reactive mode. Stretching to the limit eventually results in a rip-and-replace emergency modernization. In this episode, Thomas Zermin, Global Portfolio Manager for Fire Safety Services at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, explains why a strategic, phased modernization may take longer on the calendar, but is the fastest way to start leveraging new functionalities, and gain planning security and budget control. The benefits show real customer stories: 80% fewer false alarms, 30'000 EUR savings in staff efficiency, or incident reduction from 300 to 3 per week!
