Overcome the Negative Impacts of Managing Disparate Systems

Enterprises of all kinds are facing more security threats than ever before. They recognize the need to implement trusted security solutions spanning access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, data protection, and more. These safeguards not only protect people and property, but also an organization’s reputation and longevity. As security solutions become ever more sophisticated and complex, the need to integrate these disparate systems has never been more evident.

Our Aegis software solution meets that critical need by integrating distinctly separate security systems and sensors into one seamless management platform.

It’s proving to be an invaluable asset to companies in general and monitoring station operators, in particular. And, Aegis can support multiple operator workstations, enabling users to monitor and safely manage incidents situations at their multiple facilities. While the benefits of integrating disparate security systems are clear, some end users still don’t recognize the negative impacts of NOT integrating their various systems. There are many.

Working with disparate systems, as opposed to integrated ones, leaves end users with a lower level of situational awareness to respond to incidents. Integrated systems, on the other hand, significantly increase situational awareness and actually cut across business silos seamlessly to become part of the business process. Given how much more rampant – and severe – today’s security threats are, situational awareness is critically important in preventing them.

Most organizations have various life safety, security and information systems in place, all designed to deliver information that alerts them of potential threats or incidents. These systems produce huge amounts of visual information and data that’s sent to their security Control Room operator, whether that be onsite or to their Monitoring Central Station. It’s a daunting task for security operators to obtain a clear understanding of what is happening and how to respond.

When multiple security systems such as access control and video surveillance aren’t integrated, events can’t be seen on the same screen. Consequently, response to a critical incident when every second counts can take longer, especially when multiple alarms are coming in at the same time. Integrated systems, on the other hand, interact with each other, and provide monitoring operators with more detailed information that enables them to respond immediately and appropriately.

Users who haven’t unified their disparate security systems with Aegis software lose out on the benefits of improved monitoring, managing and response to security incidents. KapLogic is here to help you transition to our software solution that seamlessly and affordably integrates all your security systems, even if they’re made by varying manufacturers. And, there’s more good news - Aegis is scalable, so users can monitor events taking place across multiple sites. Operator training is quick and easy, and usually completed in under two hours!
