Security-as-a-Service (安防服務商機趨勢) – why the Security industry will migrate from a commodity driven to a service based business (為什麼安防電子產業,會由商業銷售為主,漸漸朝向以服務為主的商業模式?) What have these companies/trademarks in common? (以下這些公司/品牌,有哪些共通之處?) Security-as-a-Service
Security-as-a-Service They have changed the market…and people’s mindset 他們已經改變市場商模...及一般人的思考模式 They do not deliver commodity products but services 他們都不是銷售商品,而是以服務提供為主 Security-as-a-Service
Why have these services become so popular? (為什麼這些服務會受到歡迎?) Availability (因為容易取得) • Easily accessible from different devices such as smart phones, tablets and computers 他們的服務,可以很容易透過智能型手機、平板電腦、及一般電腦,下載取得使用; Simplicity (因為使用簡單) • User-friendly 介面人性化 • Low cost to get started 取得成本低 (即可開始使用) • Worry-free – as the infrastructure offers automatic storage, update and backup 因為服務平台提供自動儲存、更新、及備份等功能—使用者在使用上不須煩惱這些操作上的問題 Interesting conclusion 因此,獲致一個有趣的結論: • Ownership is not a key selling point – it is the content that counts 這些服務的賣點,不再是誰擁有這些企業,而是它所提供的服務內容! Security-as-a-Service
Security as a Service (SaaS) – the business concept (安防服務商機趨勢之商業模式) • Security as a service can be defined as a complete service where an agreed functionality and security level is offered to the customer 安防服務商機可以定義成,對消費者(用戶端)提供所需之安防功能的整體服務。 • This complete security service solution can be generated by a combination of technical systems mixed with services generated by human resources and includes remote- and cloud services and even an insurance solution 這種全方位的安防服務配套,可以經由系統科技之整合,透由人力資源(派遣)及遠端(含雲計算服務)管理, 甚至加上保險,所產生的整體服務配套方案。 • This complete service solution can also include a financing solution through external funding enabling the combined service to be obtained and taken as an operating cost for the customer 這種全方位的安防服務配套,也可能因提供創新服務得到外部注資(補助/金融)之方案,或將服務成本轉 嫁給消費用戶。 Security-as-a-Service
SaaS – more than just hosted video (安防服務商機—不僅僅只有代管影像) • Security Services may be linked to online structures, such as management of intrusion alarms, access control, operational alarms etc 安防服務也有可能以網路鏈結的方式提供如入侵警報偵測、門禁進出管理、警報操作管理等。 • Can be packaged with other security services, such as IT security, security guarding services and consulting 也可以與其他(如資訊安全、保全服務、與安防顧問諮商)服務,整合成配套服務方案提供。 • The aim of the concept is to achieve the very best possible combination plus business benefits for the customer 整個發展的主要構想宗旨,是要以顧客為主體,提供他們最大的服務/商務組合,並讓企業獲得 利潤及利益。 Security-as-a-Service
Security-as-a-Service Why is SaaS attracting so much attention right now? 為什麼安防服務商機(在歐洲)目前已獲得許多的關注? • The technology shift from analogue to digital has created opportunities to create tailor made or standard packaged security services based on cost efficient technology 科技發展由類別(模擬)轉到數位化,已經因為科技使成本更趨經濟,確認創造了一些套裝服務或客製化的安防服務商機 Examples of technical drivers: 這些科技轉變如: • IP on all types of systems 各種電子系統都已經網路化; • VCA – Video Contents Analysis 可加入影像分析辨識(VCA)功能 • Expanded bandwidth 可用頻寬已加大 • Open interfaces make it simpler for the customer 因使用介面更開放,消費者更能簡易使用 • Systems can be managed through web browsers and smart phones etc 系統容易透過智能手機、或上網,進行操控管理 Security-as-a-Service
The impact of globalisation – tougher profit margins 全球化後的衝擊--更難獲得高利潤 • Product prices have become much cheaper making it harder for all suppliers to make a profit based on product sales 今日的安防產品,價格已經很低,對所以的供應商來說,單靠產品銷售,已經很難有利潤; • Products have also become more installation and user friendly which has in turn cut the costs for the users 產品因為已經(被大量運用)安裝於各地,而且也比以往”更容易使用” ,這促使廠商可以降低成 本,供應給消費者; • Margins for all parts of the supply chain are becoming increasingly less 零件供應鏈的利潤,也大幅下降 Security-as-a-Service
Why increased business benefit? 為什麼會提高商業利益? • Focus on functions – suppliers are becoming more acquainted with the business flows and processes of the clients and can tailor make solutions based on their individual business needs 更專注於功能性—供應商更能熟悉對應客戶(用戶端)的商業運作模式,因此更能針對各別客戶 之商業需求,客製化提供所需要的配套方案; • Always Online – functions and operations continuously monitored 保持永遠在線—所有系統功能及操作軌跡都能一直監控/監測; • Increased access via modern interfaces 透由中間的調變器介面(如路由器、傳輸介面...等)增加網路存取之便利 Security-as-a-Service
Why cost saving for the customer? 對用戶端而言,為什麼更省錢? • Employees need to spend less time on directly handling security and associated features 供應方的員工可以花更少時間,在直接處理安防監控及相關事項方面; • More efficient and cost-optimised servicing and maintenance visits, many tasks can be carried out through remote servicing 因為許多監控管理之服務工作,可以透過網路遠端作業,因此使巡邏及監視管理服務的效率更高,成本更合理; • Lower training costs for existing and future staff 對員工的培訓成本更低; • Shared centralised infrastructure provides economies of scale and efficiency gains 因共用後端中央管理平台,因此可以提供經濟規模的服務及更高的管理效益; • Lower training costs for existing and future staff SaaS also offers increasing revenues through more efficient use of staff, focused on the core business 除對員工培訓方面成本降低外,安防服務商機,因為更有效進行人員的運用,及更專注於企業核心業務的運作,提供更高的收益; Security-as-a-Service
Challenges for the customers 客戶的挑戰 • Lack of knowledge on how SaaS is procured 客戶對於要到哪裡獲得安防服務(SaaS)的服務,不清楚; • More difficult to compare tenders in terms of the services offered 由於加入服務項目,更不容易比價; • Measuring and verifying that the agreed security and functionality level is maintained and achieved over time 客戶對於評估及辨別可以所要用的安防產品及功能的認知已經過時; Security-as-a-Service
Challenges for the supplier 供應商的挑戰 • Insufficient knowledge of the client‘s business 對客(用)戶的業務模式不瞭解 • The mindset – traditionally security integrators and installers sell the installation and products rather than function and service 心態問題—傳統安防安裝商以提供產品含安裝進行銷售,不太會以提供系統綜合功能及服務來進行銷售。 • Standardisation of interfaces / protocols 介面/通訊協定標準化 • To acquire new competence for different types of support services and sales etc 取得不同服務及銷售支援之新能力 Security-as-a-Service
Benefits for the customer from a financial viewpoint 從財務的角度看用戶可獲得的好處 A major advantage for the customer with an SaaS solution, including the financing of the project, is the absence of a major initial direct investment. 用戶端使用安全服務(SaaS)的主要好處(含專案的費用),減少一次支出的 金額; Although today we are aware that security plays a very important role in the protection of an organisation, we may still not wish to burden the balance sheet with a fixed asset such as a security system. 儘管今日,我 們已認同安防設備所提供安全防護的重要性,我們仍然不願意因為建置安防設備,一下子在財報 上,呈現大筆的支出數字。 The investment aspect is, therefore, an important component of the SaaS concept. 因此,從投資(財會)的角度,用戶接納安防服務(SaaS)的概念將會變得重要。 Security-as-a-Service
