Security integrators in 2022 and early 2023 overcame many obstacles to succeed, not least of which was the ongoing supply chain issue and pricing changes. Of those who explained in open-ended responses how they were meeting those challenges, relationships — both old and new — with vendor partners was one of the reasons frequently cited by the 100 security integrators featured in the 2023 Top Systems Integrators Report.
SDM also asked each of the 2023 Top Systems Integrator companies to disclose the top manufacturers and top distributors that earn their business, based on volume purchased. The resulting lists, below, were the companies most often cited.
