The changes in the systems integration industry over the last several years have been mind-boggling. But any consternation over what’s happening can, with a little imagination, be turned into new avenues of recurring monthly revenue (RMR).

It is not just the traditional systems integration industry that has been affected. Every low voltage discipline — from contractors who play in the residential sound space, to IT providers who focus on network controls and infrastructure — is facing dwindling hardware profit margins.

Idesco Corp. has opened a new showroom in New York City to provide customers with live demos of its key security products. The integrator offers a wide array of security solutions, including ID card printers, video surveillance cameras, access control systems and software.

NEW YORK, NY Few companies with- stand the test of time like Idesco Corp. The New York Real Estate Journal sat down with its princi- pal, Andrew Schonzeit, to discuss how.
NYREJ: Andy, after 66 years Idesco continues to flourish, can you explain how?
AS: Idesco prides itself on adapta- tion. We identify what we believe are going to be future industry trends, spend a considerable amount of time and money in learning about them and then if we feel that they warrant it, we invest in them. We are conservative in our approach and rather than dive right in we take our time to make sure that our decisions are sound.

As technology constantly evolves, IP access control is quickly moving forward with both new installations and retrofitting existing legacy ac- cess control systems. The control panel concept is quickly being replaced for access control just as the DVR is being replaced with IP video.

When stepping up to large commercial/industrial projects it becomes much more than just being a security provider — it is about being a complete partner. While that may seem a bit cliche', it really is true, never more so than today when systems are evermore complex and necessitate working more closely with clients’ security, IT and facility personnel. Idesco’s recent IP video installation at Adelphi University in Long Island, N.Y., vividly illustrates this dynamic.

Largely looked upon as safe havens just a few short years ago, school campuses have tragically and distressingly become the scene of multiple incidents involving violence and bloodshed. Whether it’s a personal vendetta or act of terrorism, these heretofore hallowed institutions must now contend with this grim reality. These looming threats are additionally magnified at Jewish facilities, where hate crimes are also a major concern.

Those who are under the impression that the education market isn’t savvy to the latest security strategies definitely need to go back to school. The education vertical today is all about providing the best solution- one with the flexibility to grow to address future needs. Whether leveraged on an existing infrastructure or crafted with a new IT solution, educators know how important it is to provide their students with safety and security that works. And, more often than not, Internet protocol (IP) cameras are part of the plan.

New York, Idesco Corp, a leading security system integrator for over 65 years, gains recognition for providing integrated security solutions to the most prestigious organizations on Long Island and New York City. The company will be featured on the cover of one of the top security publications in the industry. “Security Dealer & Integrator” will be running a story in the October (ISC East Edition) issue on how Idesco was instrumental in installing IP Video Technology at the Amityville Middle and High Schools on Long Island.
