AEI’s Sean Ahrens Highlights Best Practices for Integrating Security Systems
In today's complex security landscape, protecting buildings and their occupants requires that security technologies integrate and communicate effectively with one another. Although this may present some challenges, carefully choosing and coordinating systems can help improve security, streamline operations, and boost efficiency.
Sean Ahrens, Project Manager for AEI’s Security practice, sheds light on best practices for integrating security systems in Buildings Magazine’s "Facility Safety and Security Management Trends." Siloed security technologies can lead to potentially higher costs due to inefficiencies in the system, as well as increased vulnerabilities to threats. Integrating new and legacy systems into a coherent platform avoids these issues and enables real-time monitoring, alerting, and decision-making. Security consultants can help organizations tailor systems to fit their specific needs.
All in all, well-integrated security systems that are regularly updated and maintained offer tremendous value to companies, keeping buildings safe while offering long-term savings and lasting peace of mind.
