"Our aim is to work with the latest security technology. We were convinced that the WinGuard management system from Advancis would offer us a modern and open PSIM platform. This expectation was fulfilled. Due to its open architecture, WinGuard offers many perspectives when selecting new suppliers for security products and for the integration of additional sites into our existing security concept. For us, WinGuard is the tool we need to manage all security-related activities and we cannot imagine our daily business without it."

"WinGuard supports us in the processing of our daily operational procedures and visualizes all relevant information required to process an incident if necessary. WinGuard integrates seamlessly into our existing complex infrastructure and offers the necessary operational reliability and flexibility thanks to its redundancy concept. WinGuard meets the widely differing requirements of the various user groups in an exemplary manner, allowing the departments to focus on their core business. The replacement of the previous risk management system was implemented by a well-positioned project team within 18 months from planning to go-live. Even during the implementation phase the introduction of WinGuard made it possible to achieve clearly noticeable optimizations in the process and data landscape as well as, among other things, fire watch and time savings in research tasks.”

"We wanted to continue working with different manufacturers of technical systems for security and building management in order to remain independent at all times. WinGuard therefore offered the optimum solution in the form of a vendor-neutral threat management system that integrates the extensive infrastructure of the banking association across all locations. In addition, existing communication systems are connected, which are relevant both for rapid incident processing in the event of danger and for the day-to-day operations of a bank. The high availability of WinGuard and the reporting functions are further decisive advantages."

"We often had false alarms in certain areas of the hospital. We wanted to reduce the direct costs of unnecessary firefighting operations as much as possible, as well as the indirect costs caused by the disruption to the hospital's workflow. It is at least as important to comply with the fire department's amended regulations in order to be able to react as quickly as possible in an emergency. Areas such as the operating theaters or our blood bank must not be affected by a fire under any circumstances. The faster response time and, above all, the ability to follow the incident closely at the control center and implement suitable measures in a planned manner is one of the decisive advantages for us."

“In addition to our production site for combine harvesters and self-propelled forage harvesters, our headquarters Harsewinkel also accomodate an exhibition center including a museum, a cinema as well as a shop. Furthermore, we offer factory tours for visitors. Therefore we considered it important to be able to control all installed security and building management systems via one unified and clear platform. WinGuard by Advancis is vendor-neutral so that new subsystems can be integrated anytime. The software initiates automatic actions and provides guided instructions to the responsible personnel. This offers optimum support to our control center employees, both in case of events, but also for daily operation tasks, for example with regard to maintenance tasks.“

"In our widespread industrial plants there are numerous security, building and communications technologies installed. We determined that the implementation of a Physical Security Information Management System would offer our personnel optimal and efficient system control. WinGuard provides our operators with guided step by step instructions to ensure that they follow the correct action plan for each emergency and incident.

"We wanted to provide our customers a “platform as a service“ solution in an Azure environment for data management as well as remote control of security, building and communication installations. To constantly monitor more than 200 projects, it has to be ensured that this service solution is reliable 24/7. This is why we use WinGuard as a hosted alarm centre, as the hot-standby concept guarantees the high availability of the software platform anytime."

"Our resort covers more than 500 hectares as in addition to suites and restaurant rooms, there are extensive outdoor areas such as gardens, a pool area, a rooftop terrace, playgrounds as well as a reserve park. In particular with regard to the well-being and peace of mind of our guests, we considered it important to create the best security conditions, allowing us to manage all facilities and to control all our technical systems via a single integration platform. Advancis with its software platform WinGuard is our ideal partner. Not only all technical systems we use have been integrated in the platform, but we also remain flexible with regard to future hardware extensions."

"It was our intention to continue working with different manufacturers of technical security and building management system in order to always remain independent. Therefore, WinGuard as a vendor-neutral Physical Security Information Management System offered the optimal solution, as it integrates the comprehensive infrastructure of our location. In addition, the available communication and incident management systems are linked as well, which is important for both a quick event processing in case of emergency as well as for daily operation of an industrial plant. The high availability of WinGuard as well as its comprehensive reporting functions are further decisive advantages."

We were searching for a vendor neutral system, suitable for a nationwide application. Fast reaction times with regard to modification requests as well as the provision of new adapters were important as well. Not all management system manufacturers offer these features as a matter of course – Advancis makes the difference! Scalability, redundancy and high availability are indispensable for us. With the location and adapter server, an easy connection of distributed systems is possible due to the comporehensive adapter portfolio provided by Advancis.
