Other than a brief stopover in Frankfurt years ago, this is my first trip to Germany, and is my first exposure to Security Essen.

In an industry where critical deadlines, financial pressures and logistical challenges are ever-present features on the professional landscape, mortgage servicing professionals understand that there are often no second chances, and time can literally be money.

The Windy City. Second City. That Toddling Town. The City of Broad Shoulders. Even, The Big Onion. Chicago has been known by many names in its 175 years as a city.

ASIS 2012 in Philadelphia last week was a showcase for the latest and greatest in security technology and equipment.
