• There would be no project business without after market
services
• Different customer segment have different needs for services
e.g. Paper mill vs. Logistic center
• Export issues to be cleared – for both product and service
delivery
• Services include much more than just after market
• Local presence is a must – directly or through partners
• Tailoring service for customer needs – modular approach
38. Product platform & tools
• Product platform and delivery process has to be designed to
support service delivery
• Remote access is a must – for diagnostics and repair
• Utilize IT as much as possible e.g.
– Remote diagnostics
– PDM
– Service case management
• 24/7 help-desk expensive but mandatory
• Documentation
• Tools for diagnostics, e.g. CANBus
39. Working outside EU
• Market price for service work hours varies between markets
• Customers’ willingnes to pay for after market services in Asia
• Working outside EU much more difficult – example Norway
and Switzerland

• Working with small and large companies – generally small
partners more challenging than big ones

partners
