Purpose and goal
The purpose of the project is to make the installation process more efficient with the goal to handle many more new customers and buildings. During the first years, only one out of one hundred demos we made lead to a closed deal, and the staff spent more or less all their time to prepare and perform demos in different market verticals. Today, we have a highly optimised installation process completely in the cloud, where the customer does most of the work and quickly gets back software for IPS. Senionlab has now been able to re-structure the staff to a much more effective organisation.
Expected results and effects
Senionlab has today five dedicated market and sales persons, and seven developers responsible for the technology. This positive feedback has implied that we today have more resources and better processes to handle an increasing number of customers. We stand ready to meet the first customer with a large amount of buildings, may it be hospitals, malls or any other of our prospects.
Planned approach and implementation
The project was split into four work packages (WP). WP1: Test sites. The original plan was to use our university and hospital but the outcome is that the big data provider is a site in Las Vegas and the research arena is at Ericsson. WP2-3: New methods for IPS. Research has been performed at Ericsson office and in smaller scale at university and hospital. This has been presented in 6 conference papers. WP4: Development and test tools. This has been developed in-house, with the added resources provided by this funding. A slight change in WP2-3 is due to Cisco´s change of focus.
