New Product and Partnership Announced by Micro Key Solutions

  • Jan 04, 2021

Micro Key Solutions has announced the launch of an all-new program called MKSynergy in conjunction with an all-new partnership. Micro Key Solutions has partnered up with AvantGuard to provide alarm dealers with the ultimate “link to success.”

MKSynergy was developed to help alarm dealers save time and money. The program was created specifically for alarm dealers, allowing them to seamlessly connect their accounting and service solution directly to their AvantGuard Monitoring Center.

“We designed MKSynergy to bridge the gap between uncooperative systems, and to seamlessly connect all of what is going on inside of your business with your central station,” said Victoria Ferro, president of Micro Key Solutions. “There are many black holes created by running multiple systems that aren’t linked such as duplicate data entry and costly errors… and this is a solution that has been created to solve all such problems.”

“We’re so excited to work with premier wholesale alarm monitoring centers like AvantGuard to bring tools like MKSynergy to their dealers. Both of the teams at Micro Key Solutions and AvantGuard take pride in using the most advanced technologies to give alarm companies the tools they need to boost efficiency and ultimately profitability.” Troy Iverson, vice president of sale and marketing at AvantGuard. "Many of AvantGuard's dealers use MKS for their accounting, service scheduling, inventory and CRM management. We are pleased to have completed our integration with MKS and Stages so our dealers will no longer be required to do double data entry.

“That means more efficient processes and less room for data entry errors. Victoria and her team at MKS have been great to work with.”

MKSynergy connects an alarm dealers’ two most important business products.

“The primary goal of our program is to achieve synergy to increase productivity and profitability for our valuable customers, and to increase the value of your company.” said Ferro, while talking about the aim of this new program. “It’s been a continued goal to make that dealer/monitoring center relationship a stronger one that allows for more sharing, collaboration and transparency. Our desire was to go beyond platforms and vendors and just focus on what’s best for the alarm companies. I think we’ve hit that mark with MKSynergy.”

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. 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.
