Leveraging Strong Manufacturer Relationships the Key to Success
The security industry at its core is about relationships: between a manufacturer and an integrator, an integrator and a customer, a manufacturer and the end users interacting on a daily basis with the system — all of these are important. Then there’s the relationship that manufacturers have with each other, which is just as critical and creates the ability to deliver more value to customers at any point in their security system implementation.
Companies with a synergistic relationship can offer decision makers the best possible result for their investment, even if those parties are different people working toward a common end goal. For example, implementing physical security and access control systems with more effective communications transmission products can go a long way in improving the relationship between the two decision-maker camps: those who select the physical security system and those who ensure its interoperability through transmission products. Driving collaboration between these entities from an early stage in the sales cycle can strengthen product relationships and solution effectiveness.
