Siemens IT Solutions and Services
SIS is an international leader in IT services, offering consulting, systems integration and IT infrastructure management as well as software development and comprehensive sector-specific IT solutions from a single source.
Reliable identification procedures are the key to security in a globalized world. Our biometric solutions are making error-free personal authentication a reality. In Switzerland and the Czech Republic, we’re equipping passports with biometric functions. In Croatia, we’re introducing the world’s first biometric border controls. In Ireland, we’re supplying an electronic visa application and tracking system. In additon we install and operate IT systems for face, iris and fingerprint recognition. Our offerings also include an innovative solution based on palm vein scanning.
Siemens’ new biometric IT system identifies individuals on the basis of their unique palm vein patterns, ensuring error-free authentication.
But security solutions are just one part of the overall IT picture. Information technology has advanced from a specialized field to become the backbone of virtually every business process. The focus today is increasingly on ways to optimally interlink the multi-faceted IT components of modern enterprises – everything from hardware and production planning to overarching control systems. To meet customer demand for seamless IT solutions, Siemens established SIS in January 2007. Combining IT know-how, expertise in a wide range of technology fields and a comprehensive knowledge of our industry, we cooperate with other Siemens Groups to deliver fully integrated, sector-specific IT solutions.
As one of the world’s top ten providers of outsourcing services, we generate some 60 percent of our total revenue by operating customer IT systems. Examples of our broad sector-specific and process expertise in the area of IT solutions include SAP integration and the development of applications based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, another field in which we’re a leading player. Siemens itself is one of our major customers. We develop software for the other Siemens Groups and ensure the operation of IT systems Company-wide. Leveraging our global network of service facilities and centers of competence, we’ll continue to provide our customers with outstanding services at competitive prices far into the future.
