Pro-Tec’s IP Security Summit draws technology and consultants from across the USA.

Pro-Tec Design’s first annual IP Security Summit drew a gathering of global security system technology leaders and consultants. Those in attendance included:

• ASSA ABLOY, the leader in door hardware solutions. ASSA ABLOY manufactures a full line of electric strikes, electric locks, and intelligent wireless card readers.
• AXIS Communications the global leader in IP cameras.
• MILESTONE Systems, the global leader in non-proprietary, video management software.
• Pro-Tec Design, a leading security integrator of physical and logical security technology.
• The Sage Group, a value consulting company specializing in the emerging security ecosystem

At the event Pro-Tec Design introduced enhanced IT Security consulting services to provide clients a unified approach to security that leverages physical and cyber security to ensure reliability across the network.  Value offerings such as Microsoft collaboration tools, network security assessments, validation testing and unified system security design will be offered through professional services.

“The voice of the client is demanding a new way to control costs, leverage resources, assets and create opportunities to leverage the business”, said Mary Dunphy, Pro-Tec Design’s Chief Technology Officer. “We are simply responding to pent up demand to help our clients become more strategic as they move to advance their security effectiveness.”

The event was moderated by the Sage Group, a management consulting company working with security industry consultants, vendors, integrators and end users to transform the value proposition for security. It included discussions on new trends in security technology such as high definition television– HDTV network video cameras, 802.11 wireless card readers, intelligent doors, and the new levels of knowledge a security integrator such as Pro-Tec Design must possess to be successful in the future.

“This was a remarkable event. Pro-Tec Design is clearly a leader in the IP security arena. The services and solutions they are offering are right on the mark”, said Karl Radke, Regional Manager for AXIS Communications.

“There are leaders that move markets to the next level of value”, said Ron Worman, Managing Director of the Sage Group. “Pro-Tec Design is clearly advancing an understanding of security that will enable organizations to increase their effectiveness while saving costs that are hidden today. More important, they are partnering with key technology manufacturers on solutions that will drive that value.”
