Furthermore, we are adding appropriate talent to this end. On the other hand, and as already announced at ISH 2015, connectivity will also be one of the core product characteristics in all Viessmann heat generators. We are also pushing digital- ization in marketing and sales, in order to use their potential in concert with our market partners: Viessmann repre- sents a well-known, domestically recognized German brand that has an extensive online reach, comprehensive online marketing expertise and the requisite IT resources. The market partners contribute a local presence on the ground, the required expert know - ledge and the necessary installation and service resources. 3 The challenge of the sustainable energy era The second major challenge is the ener- gy transition. It can only succeed if the backlog in the modernization of existing heating systems is eliminated, thus allowing an energy efficiency increase in the heating market and growth in the share of renewable energy.
