IoT, DIY/MIY, cyber security, active shooters — SDM 100 dealers talk about the issues that will have the biggest impact, either positive or negative, on their businesses this year
This issue features the 28th annual SDM 100, a ranking based on recurring monthly revenue of the largest security installation and monitoring providers based in the U.S. The responses of these companies to a survey produced by SDM generate a large amount of data and anecdotal information which can be used to identify and confirm industry trends.
Based on responses from the SDM 100 group of security dealers, 2017 was both a successful year and a challenging year. SDM asked: “What issues and trends do you think will have the greatest impact on your business in 2018?” They identified more than 10 issues (those cited most often are listed here), and described the impact on their businesses.
