Within the framework of this program, BIS partners can benefit from commercial and technical support in all phases of a project from preparing quotes to compete in a tender to after-sales support. The centerpiece of the program is based on providing the partner with the necessary knowledge to be successful. In this perspective, Bosch offers modular trainings and exclusive technical information enabling BIS partners to build up and maintain the levels of expertise in the areas they need for their customer base. Upfront investments are not required, as the training and the certification take place only after the first project is won. Following the training and certification, exclusive technical support is available to certified engineers.
For system integrators, the BIS certified partner program opens up a vast potential for additional growth. First, as an open integration platform, BIS creates opportunities to sell the entire Bosch portfolio at the initial stage or as an addition to the system over time. Even more interesting, BIS installations typically require ongoing support with system upgrades and a maintenance contract with end-customers which generates recurring revenue.
BIS represents the centerpiece of large safety and security applications in hospitals, shopping malls, airports, universities, production plants, government facilities, stadiums amongst others. More than 1,500 sites worldwide successfully implemented the BIS to improve their reaction time and therefore better protect people and assets within their facilities.
