With security technology moving along at a fast pace, more and more devices moving to IP, and security systems becoming increasingly converged and complex, the partnership between dealers, integrators and end users has never been more vital.
Every year, the editors of Security magazine – SDM’s sister publication, focusing on security solutions for enabling and assuring the business – interview hundreds of end users, many of whom echo the same sentiment: Without a strong partnership with our integrators and security partners, we would not be able to achieve our objectives. Those objectives vary widely, from providing marketing teams with insight into shoppers’ habits through video analytics in retail to integrating access controls, identity management, video surveillance and guard tour tracking tools from across an international enterprise into a single global security operations center or GSOC.
