The security monitoring industry has taken center stage in the past year as countries throughout the world battled a global pandemic and civil unrest. Both residential and business segments saw heightened demand for security solutions. To keep up, forward-thinking security providers raced to implement innovative technologies that create greater peace of mind and protection using the latest smart analytics, including face recognition, vehicle, and pet detection. However, to continue this growth, organizations must have a strong foundation built on financial efficiency and transparency.
Customer Situation
Our recent customer, a global leader in security monitoring, consumer electronics, and security-centric solutions, encompasses a presence in over 40 countries spanning across 6 continents.

Implementing a connected platform would help this customer eliminate their core obstacles.
