CAN LARGE MANUFACTURERS RELATE TO SMALL INTEGRATORS?
As president and CEO of PSA Security Network, the world’s largest electronic security cooperative which specializes in supporting systems integrators, Bill Bozeman works closely with security equipment manufacturers and systems integrators. PSA members are responsible for more than $1.4 billion dollars of electronic security and life safety installations. In an exclusive interview with SDM, Bozeman, who has 26 years of experience in the security systems integration business, discusses how industry consolidation has impacted PSA members. PSA member companies specialize in the design, installation and integration of video surveillance, access control and life safety systems.
SDM: There’s been a lot of consolidation among security system manufacturers. How has that affected systems integrators and their ability to integrate different types of security systems, such as video surveillance, access control and intrusion protection?
