Siveco China’s innovative business model mentioned in the leading French financial newspaper

The leading French financial daily newspaper Les Echos mentioned Siveco China in the "Asia: weekly high-tech news" section of its January 25, 2013 issue. A translation of the original French-language article is offered below:

"Siveco is not really a newcomer. In France, this supplier of property maintenance software, used to manage the activities of technicians in charge of maintaining elevators, utilities, HVAC, etc. is already 26 years old. In China, it operates a R&D unit since 2008. However, the company has been able to reinvent its business model for the Chinese market, with the spirit of a start-up. Siveco China does not sell software anymore, but a device capable of geo-localizing maintenance technicians, to scan barcode tags on equipment… A smartphone for monitoring and automatically updating… the maintenance software."
