ISGUS News 34_final

PREFACE The Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea are still fresh in our minds. As per the final medal standings, German athletes have never been so suc- cessful at the Olympics before, neither were they ever as emotional before, with the stunning German gold medalists in pair free skating or, the historic silver medal for the ice hockey team. Consequently, at the German House, where ISGUS and our sales & service centre IVS Zeit + Sicherheit GmbH were again in charge of accreditation and Access Control, the celebrations were very lively and continued well into the early hours of the morning. Like the German team at the Olympics, the global IT industry started the year very positively and the ISGUS group is confidently looking forward to overall en- couraging and optimistic developments for the current business year. This optimism is based on the universal and state-of- the art ZEUS® X solution, the close network of ISGUS sales & service centres in Europe and globally, ensuring consultancy, services and technical support for thou- sands of worldwide ZEUS® customers. Many of them started small, have been growing over the years and are today active across various sites and in different countries. With their growing requirements the systems were expanded in terms of employee numbers and features. Today the majority of customers are not only using the core Time & Attendance module, but a combination of it with Staff Planning, Job Costing/Plant Data Collection, or Access Control with integrated Visitor Management. Irrespective of whether you wish to optimize your deployment of staff, or if you are looking for increased security e.g. for building areas where it would be difficult to run cables, or if you run SAP and require certified hardware for integration with SAP-HRM, ISGUS is your competent solution provider and reliable partner. Read more about our offering for such scenarios in this ISGUS News, and much more! Enjoy reading! Yours sincerely, Dear reader, Sylvia Martin-Knoch, ISGUS Export Manager 3
