'An event that leads the process of new technologies'

A new member joins the group of speakers for the 2011 edition of TecnoEdificios. This is the Engineer Germán Alexis Cortés, Manager - Senior Technical Consultant of Insetron and official instructor of the Latin American Security Association (ALAS), who will give the conference called "Strategy and real costs for the design and construction of electronic networks in intelligent buildings", which is within the Integration panel.

For him, this conference is important "because in many companies the real costs of a project are unknown and it is common for the integrator to finish the project with a very different utility than planned. This generates technical and administrative conflicts, which often compromise the quality of the systems, with the obvious consequences for the end user. All of this can be avoided if planned properly and with time."

Being present at TecnoEdificios is important for Eng. Cortés, since this "is an event that leads the process of new technologies in the Latin building automation market. The best professionals in the sector together with end users meet to improve and professionalize the guild. Being there is a fundamental part of our knowledge sharing policies."

Germán Cortés is an Electronic Engineer from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Colombia; has a specialization in Engineering Project Management. He has been a consultant SIA, NFPA, NIST. CPP-91 (Certified Protection Professional). Specialist in Electronic Security, Communications and Automation for Smart Buildings, with more than 22 years of experience.
