RFI Communications & Security Systems (RFI), San Jose, Calif., is not beginning to learn IT’s lingo, trying to harness the network or ramping up its comfort level with IT. The company already has implemented cloud-based solutions that other companies are just now diving into. Its first-adopter technology prowess makes sense when you consider that the company, established in 1979 by Lawrence L. Reece and now owned by his daughter Dee Ann Harn, is headquartered in Silicon Valley.
“Being located in the heart of Silicon Valley has enabled RFI to be constantly pushed and pulled by technology companies that live on the bleeding edge,” describes Brad Wilson, president, RFI. “System integration has always been an accepted practice here. Not only do we feel the desire to innovate ourselves, but we sit across the table from companies that are both driving and flat out demand innovation.”
