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.

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.

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.

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.

Schneider Electric recently announced the successful installation of its Pelco by Schneider Electric Sarix TI thermal imaging camera systems at California State University, Fresno’s Bulldog Stadium.

PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) is one of the buzzwords floating in the very air of ASIS 2012 -- and, indeed, in the entire security industry these days -- but it seems when most people, even seasoned security professionals, utter the acronym they are confusing it for the mere integration of physical security systems in an enterprise.
