    #165 Modernization of fire safety services โ€“ 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!

    #164 Modernization of fire safety services โ€“ Part I: A necessity, not a luxury

    The average life span of a fire safety setup is 20-25 years โ€“ quite long compared to other disciplines. However, if we assume that a building has a life cycle of about 60 years, owners must expect to modernize their fire safety system 2-3 times. And these cycles are more than a 1:1 replacement. In this episode, Thomas Zermin, Global Portfolio Manager for Fire Safety Services at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, talks about the changes and constants in his 30 years of industry experience, some new drivers and the opportunities that IoT and cloud connectivity bring.
