A Universal Solution

In recent years, colleges across the country have upgraded and improved the way they monitor, assess and respond to security incidents on campus.

Security On The Runway

Security On The Runway

Worlds Colliding

There’s no question that the 21st century has brought significant change to security solutions. An abundance of connectivity options and the application of technologies—such as IP, virtualization, hosted solutions and mobile—are enhancing the way we secure the enterprise and helping to improve security.

Interactive Services

Life in the digital age has never been better. We’ve graduated from rabbit ears to flat screens and 24-hour photo processing to instant downloads. Laptops can fit into a purse as easily as a desk.

The Makings of a Valuable Partnership

The value proposition that distributors can and should bring to the channel is huge. Not only should they offer a vast and comprehensive inventory of products, they should constantly strive to expand the value-added services they provide to customers as well.
