After visiting one of the most significant events in the electronic security industry, ISC West, as well as visits to our key partners and global R&D Centre’s in Europe and North America, our CEO shared some key industry trends that have become apparent over the last few weeks. Here are five important developments he felt will continue shaping the future of electronic security:
1. Big Players Lead the Way
Companies like Motorola, Gallagher, Abloy, Axis, Hanwha, and Genetec are leading the market. Their dominance was clear at ISC West, setting trends and driving innovation. At the FS Group, we place huge value and emphasis on our strategic partnerships. By partnering with us, you partner with the global leaders in electronic security.
2. AI is Everywhere
Artificial Intelligence is now a standard part of security solutions, from video analytics to predictive maintenance. However, many companies offer similar AI features, making it crucial to find unique ways to use AI to provide extra value to our clients. We believe a deep focus and understanding of the vertical market we operate in enables us to deploy AI solutions that add business value and improve ROI.
3. Move to SaaS Models
The shift to Software as a Service (SaaS) is picking up speed. SaaS offers flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions. This trend is pushing us to rethink how we deliver products and services, aiming to provide better customer experiences with regular updates and improvements.
4. Unified Security Platforms
There's a growing demand for platforms that integrate access control, video surveillance, and communication systems. These unified platforms simplify management and provide a comprehensive view of security operations, making them more efficient and effective.
5. Dynamic Data and Dashboards
The use of real-time data and advanced dashboards is increasingly used in all aspects of electronic security. These tools help make data-driven decisions and improve situational awareness. Companies are investing in developing dashboards that offer clear, actionable insights, helping optimize security strategies.
Conclusion
The trends from ISC West 2024 show an industry that is rapidly evolving. As a company, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these changes, delivering top-notch security solutions to meet our clients’ needs.
