Schneider Electric™


helped a global leader in


the medical research field reduce risk when new government regulations threatened to disrupt existing processes. Management inventoried the substances subject to the regulations and designed new security processes relevant to them, providing protection for the business and facilitating compliance. After 30 months the team realized:


> 30% less time needed to respond to an event


> 430% reduction in nuisance alarms > Reduced guard staff costs > Lower administrative costs for generating compliance reports


Assigning monetary value to risk reduction is possible because most executives can readily quantify the hourly or daily cost of a business shutdown. They can also estimate the potential financial liability if an accident were to occur.


3 Business effi ciency: Enhancing business performance


The most impactful ROSI level is business value that transcends security — when security becomes an essential contributor to business success, profitability, and continuity. This is achieved by determining how security technology can add value by making core business processes more efficient.


For example, Schneider Electric helped a major car manufacturer realize added business value at its manufacturing plant. Optical turnstiles were integrated with access control devices at each assembly line to count workers and ensure credentials at the beginning of the day. The production line would not operate if all qualified staff members were not present, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and quality compromises, and ensuring smooth operations.


In order to achieve maximum ROSI, the key is to make security an essential part of corporate culture. When people, process, and

Schneider Electric has global security expertise and a proven portfolio of successful implementations that reflect all three levels of ROSI. Our security solutions can integrate many different security disciplines into a single system. The resulting single-seat view of the entire security domain delivers real- time, actionable information that enables better decision making and faster response to events. To drive even more value, the security infrastructure can easily and cost-effectively be integrated with other building systems such as, lighting, energy management, building management, power management, and IT management.
