    For us - Siemens Business Services - Siemens is an important shareholder, customer and business partner.
  • Key message:
    Here you can see the organizational structure of the Siemens Group. In addition to the Information and Communications business area (of which Siemens Business Services is a part), the Siemens portfolio consists of specialisms in:
    Automation and Control
    Power
    Transportation
    Medical
    Lighting
    Financing and Real Estate
    Our group is responsible for its own international capabilities, with regional units supporting these activities. Through a decentralized structure we receive the greatest possible degree of entrepreneurial responsibility and the ability to nurture the closest of ties to our customers. Cross-Group and cross-regional cooperation is the basis for our Global Network Of Innovation.
  • As an internationally leading IT-service provider, we render our customers
    performance along the entire value chain:
    In consult-, design and build-projects, we associate experience in conceiving and designing IT-solutions with distinct knowledge about systems and applications.
    When it comes to outsourcing, we run our customers´ entire information- and telecommunication – infrastructure. Thus, our customers enjoy the benefits of focussing on their core business and of reducing their IT-costs at the same time.
    As the global number-one in vendor-independent hardware maintenance services, we assure that our customers have a 7/24 access to information technology.
    Internationally, Siemens Business Services is among the top-ten IT-services
    providers, ranks number five in Europe and number two in Germany.
    In the last fiscal year (ending September 30th, 2002), revenues accounted for
    € 5.8 billion – whereby 73 % have been realized outside Siemens.
    At present, Siemens Business Services counts on about 33,600 employees in
    44 countries.
  • What we share with our customers are first and foremost best practices.
    By learning from each other and by adopting best practices,
    we speed up the transformation process by saving time and money to develop E-Government solutions,
    we enhance our level of efficiency, reduce risks and inherently improve quality,
    we grow closer together, and
    we ensure compatibility throughout Europe.
    Every partnership model has to suit the particular needs in each case.
    However, it is critical that the business model is not defined abstractly in advance, but in virtue of
    the precise E-Government services to be implemented, and
    the available financing modes.
    The chosen business model
    must be robust, and
    very importantly, must also meet both partners´ expectations and interests.
    In the following, I will present you our understanding of:
    transfer of proven solutions,
    innovation and development partnership
    selective outsourcing
    outsourcing
    Public Private Partnership.
  • On a very plain level, best practice sharing could stand for transferring and implementing a solution which has already proven success elsewhere.
    At first, this means screening for best practices.
    But one should not get caught in the mistake of considering only the major and most industrialized countries. For instance, there are ID-card solutions from Macao or the National Assembly of Wales’ IT-setting that undoubtedly qualify as best e-Government practices for Germany.
    Once having selected a best practice solution, the objective is then to implement it in accordance with local requirements, customs and laws in the customer´s specific business processes.
    Therefore, best practice sharing is very far from just getting a CD-ROM with the software code, installing it, and there you go.
    That is why successful best practice sharing calls for an IT-service provider that acts global and thinks locally. This provider will be the best knowledge broker and implementation partner.
    When working with us, there is a very high chance that we already have implemented the required best practice solution in other places.
    Example:
    For example, we have delivered two similar border control solutions in Lithuania and Latvia.
    This is a case in point for sharing experience and best practice between two neighboring countries and other solutions for example in Argentina and Ukraine.
    By adopting today a modern system that is compatible with tomorrow´s Schengen requirements, these countries are well prepared to protect the future external borders of the European Union.
  • Innovation and Development Partnerships are indicated, if transferable best practice solutions are not available.
    One of the reasons might be that the requirements are novel or unique with respect to the specific technical or process-related environment.
    In this case, the best practice consists in an approach to find and conceive a new solution, develop it and make it ready for roll-out – ideally configured in a way allowing re-use and roll-out to other locations.
    Example:
    In Turkey, police forces are supported by mobile technology and devices for traffic control and traffic security purposes. Besides Turkey - and as already mentioned - Italy, we supplied innovative solutions to police forces in the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and UK, among others.
    Another showcase for joint development is SolumStar in Germany, where 13 of the 16 federal states entered into a consortium to develop an electronic land register for subsequent roll-out to all the consortium’s member states.
  • Different from complete outsourcing, selective outsourcing means that the customer assigns defined subtasks to a third party, instead of an entire set of tasks. Therefore, selective outsourcing is also called ”outtasking”.
    Selective outsourcing may be an interesting pre-stage to a complete outsourcing at a later date, since it can be easily taken advantage of all experiences gathered.
    Even selective outsourcing with an Application Service Provider requires already considerable attention and effort in selecting the right partner. A part of the project responsibilities is transferred to the partner, who will run customer’s applications and host them for him.
    Example:
    As a first step, we designed and built an electronic parking management solution for the city of Vienna. This solution allows for paying one´s parking fees by mobile phone.
    Now, we are also running this application for our customer as an ASP-Service.
    For Copenhagen county we operate the IT-department providing 600,000 citizens access to public administration. In addition we provide IT infrastructure and back office solutions for 20,000 public servants.
  • Outsourcing is becoming increasingly common in information technology and other industries even for services that have formerly been regarded as intrinsic to managing a business.
    Siemens Business Services is one of the top 10 outsourcing providers worldwide. More than 15,000 employees work in this field serving over 200 major customers in 35 countries across all industries – offering economies of scale for example through data processing centers, call centers and resource-pools.
    Based on a case-by-case analysis performed together with our customer, we are ready:
    to provide full IT-outsourcing services, handling the customer’s entire IT, or
    to agree on business process outsourcing – in this case, we assume the responsibility for managing and optimizing an entire business process.
    Example:
    After we designed and built a new workflow and document management system, the UK’s Immigration and Nationality Directorate benefits from increased efficiency measured by a doubled through-put of processed cases.
    The Romanian Central Employment Agency has been linked to it’s 200-plus branches by back-office integration. In addition, job-seekers gained easy access to national placement services and unemployment support. We also served the respective customers in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Turkey.
  • Looking finally at a Public Private Partnership, we quickly realize that this is a highly complex form of cooperation, which may include any or all of the aforementioned models in conjunction with the outsourcing of business processes.
    There are several business models for structuring a Public Private Partnership, culminating in a jointly owned company.
    In this case, the private partner also bears entrepreneurial, commercial and market risks. Such highly entrepreneurial relationship implies in a very high level of trust.
    Example:
    For the South Africa’s Department of Labor we improved service delivery by providing an optimized IT infrastructure.
    The National Assembly for Wales disposes of a state-of-the-art IT-setting including office applications, administrative tools and remote access, comfortable touch screen PCs and video conferencing.
