SIEMENS PARTNERS ARE THE KEY TO SECURITY

In order to provide specifiers and purchasers of security systems with a choice of expert suppliers, while ensuring that the highest possible standards of service and performance are maintained, Siemens Security Products has set up a network of Security System Partners throughout the UK and Ireland.

Appointed only after careful assessment of their expertise and capabilities, members of the Security System Partner scheme are happy to meet all of their customers’ security-related requirements, whether they need a single inexpensive component, like a keypad, or a complete turnkey security installation for a new commercial building.

On appointment, Security System Partners receive extensive training for their own employees and, where appropriate, for their customers’ employees. They receive valuable competitive advantage in a number of areas such as marketing support, enhanced access to new and specialised products and enhanced technical resource allowing fast and efficient access to the most recent developments in security system technology, thus delivering the best possible solution to the end customer.

In addition, Siemens assists its partners in developing mutual businesses generation by, for example, supporting telephone marketing campaigns or local road shows for key consultants using joint marketing coalitions.

“As a direct result of becoming a Siemens Security Partner, we’ve won several very large contracts,” said Gary Duke, Sales Manager of BWS Security Systems in Bath. “That’s partly because our already excellent reputation is now even further enhanced by our close association with the prestigious Siemens brand and its superb products, and partly because of the excellent sales and technical support we receive from Siemens.”

“We specialise in providing solutions, rather than simply selling boxes, and Siemens makes sure that we have all the support we need to do this, not only at the tender and implementation stages, but also after the equipment is installed and in use.”

Steve Turton, Sales Director of Renard Systems in Widnes, was equally enthusiastic about the scheme. “Being a Siemens Security Partner opens a lot of doors for us and, as Siemens is an extremely respected and recognised brand name, it has put us in a very strong position when bidding projects with various Specifiers.

“As far as we are aware, Siemens offers the best available Integrated Security Solution available in our industry today, with CCTV, Access Control, and Intruder detection systems, all from the one manufacturer”.

The Siemens Security Partner scheme is a two-way partnership that enables the partners and Siemens to work together more closely to enhance mutual business interests and deliver a superior service to end customers. It is open only to selected companies in the security sector, which meet strict criteria for expertise, professionalism, turnover and openness of business planning.
