SIEMENS - SMART BUILDING SOLUTIONS
We adopt a consultative and workshop approach to fully understand the challenges and aspirations of our customer . In particular for refurbishments this will involve working with legacy systems from multiple vendors and have the technology and capability to deliver the necessary integrations .
