New Middle Atlantic Configurator Goes Live

Middle Atlantic Products announced its new web-based configuration tool is now live. Enabling customers to easily select, configure, quote and purchase the precise infrastructure system to fit their project needs, the Configurator platform was developed to improve nearly every facet of the customer experience.

Many systems integrators were engaged in testing the new Configurator, including Dave Hatz of AVI Systems in Eden Prairie, MN who commented, “I’m definitely impressed with how easy it is to use. I really do like the fact that I know I need a rack, I know I need a power strip but it leads me through the configuration options that I might not have thought about: lacing bars, power sequencers, UPS’s batteries, extra shelves. It really presents me with all the various options.”

The Configurator allows users to create a personalized design with the right products and accessories for any type of system along with a priced materials list. Further enhancing the company’s website, which was redesigned earlier this year, this new configuration tool is accessible from anywhere in the world with internet access, on any browser-enabled device. 

Designed for anyone from beginner to expert, users can be guided through the configuration process or they can choose to build a system at their own pace.

With built-in intelligence to ensure that only components that fit can be selected and smart recommendations along the way, the Configurator helps users build the most effective and reliable system.

The Configurator enables users to export CAD and other design documents to be easily integrated into their standard design process. It enables 24/7 access to a stored history of user projects, the ability to create new projects and convenient direct online ordering.

  • Teaching Old Dogs, New Tricks

    After more than 30 years in the security integration business, today’s video surveillance systems are certainly not the same CCTV systems I sold and installed when I first started hanging cameras. Back in the day, there were only a handful of companies out there and one that started with a “P” stood above the rest. If you were fortunate enough to get invited to travel on their private jet out to California to tour the factory, it was a real honor. I have a picture somewhere in my garage collecting dust, of me sitting in the co-pilot seat. I know, old-man highlights, but still very cool. Read Now

  • Trust But Verify

    Today’s world is built on software—whether it is third-party applications, open-source libraries, in-house developed tools, operating systems, containers or firmware. Organizations worldwide depend on these diverse software components to power their operations, connect with customers, and drive innovation. However, this reliance on software comes with hidden dangers: the blind trust placed in these software products. Many companies assume that the software they purchase, and use is secure and free from vulnerabilities, but recent high-profile software supply chain breaches have proven otherwise. The reality is that every piece of software, no matter how reputable the source, increases the organization’s attack surface and poses new risks. Read Now

  • Impact on Digital Transformation

    A 2023 Statista report projects that by 2030 there will be 30 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices in use. That is three times as many as there were in 2020. The numbers continue to grow because connecting sensors and systems, especially across a business, promises big efficiency gains and new insights. As such, the IoT and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) have become a launching pad for digital transformation -- not only for individual organizations but for entire industries. Read Now
