Systems Integrator of the Year

RSS

The 2025 SDM Systems Integrator of the Year prides itself on its ability to tackle highly complex problems at a moment’s notice, doing what it takes to protect customers and ensure its employees are well prepared.

The 2024 SDM Systems Integrator of the Year excels at its three top priorities: employee & community connection; a customer approach with cutting-edge technology; and financial success that feeds directly back into the company and the communities it serves.

With an intense focus on people and relationships, the 2023 SDM Systems Integrator of the Year relies on its core principles of professionalism, grit, right, intelligent thought and trusted advisors to propel its success.

In an era of constant change, this year’s SDM Systems Integrator of the Year organizes big changes like few others — tackling enormous challenges without compromising customer service or employee satisfaction, all while rolling out new offerings, systems and a new name. 

They say a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. So perhaps it was fortuitous that the founding partners of Stone Security — all members of the Edmunds family in Salt Lake City — had no background in security integration when they formed the company in 2006. Steve Edmunds, a retired Air Force captain and Delta Airlines pilot, started the business with his sons and son-in-law after a brief foray into residential security, which they quickly discovered wasn’t for them.

As one of six distinct security-related divisions of a global powerhouse, this year’s Systems Integrator of the Year draws on the history of not one, but two long-standing companies, along with a deep commitment to its employees and customers, and a strong understanding of technology to distinguish itself from the competition.

LVC Companies Inc. (formerly Low Voltage Contractors) began as it would continue — as an entrepreneurial leap of faith brought about by a customer’s need.

Imagine what you would do if you had the opportunity to create your ideal security integration company from scratch.
