Just an Idea

A couple ideas crossed my mind while taking a lunch break at Security Essen. The facility is so large that they have two press centers, but what I liked most about the press center is that they service a nice cup of chicken noodle soup to the journalists.

The Missing Link

The importance of telecommunication companies on the security and home automation scene is becoming increasingly apparent as more end users become educated about the latest technology.

Continuity of Servicing

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.

Stanley Security Launches ‘Eye-Catching’ Biometric System

ASIS 2012 in Philadelphia last week was a showcase for the latest and greatest in security technology and equipment. In retrospect, one of the coolest and cutting-edgiest product launches we were privy to -- and there were many, as there are every year -- was the new EyeSwipe Nano TS from Stanley Security Solutions.

Where's the Beef?

I like Philadelphia. It seems like a nice place to host a tradeshow. The convention center, its location and the city in general were a great host for ASIS 2012.
