Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies Wins American Institute Of Architects Award

  • Jan 11, 2008

Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies recently announced that the company has received notification that it has won the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2008 Continuing Education System (CES) Award for Excellence in the Stakeholder, Commercial Provider Category with a maximum rating of five stars. In the Stakeholder category, the AIA CES’ judges examine the entrants’ commitment and support.

This includes reviewing the company’s structure for analyzing the educational needs and professional development of the architect and the way the company creates and delivers continuing education. They also delve into how the company identifies, develops and supports program designers and faculty. Judges also examine the methods the company uses to evaluate its educational performance, make improvements, and provide participant feedback. Lastly, judges want to know how the entrant partners with other providers.

“We seek excellence in our continuing education program by truly listening to and understanding the architectural communities’ needs and issues,” said Cheri Flanagan, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies curriculum development manager, education services. “They are the driving force behind our program development.

“This differentiation to educate and serve is demonstrated by the creation of a Curriculum Development department, whose expertise and job function is to develop curriculum that is timely, accurate and repeatable. Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies has 36 full-time architectural sales consultants whose primary role is education and service to the architectural community. These consultants are experts in life safety codes, building security, and the full range of door hardware and its many possible configurations. They are provided opportunities to develop their presentation skills, and are given the tools and the curriculum to present effectively.”

It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
