Introduction

Most people today aren’t aware of the great strides being made in power solution innovation. That’s because power has largely remained a specialty niche. But as smart systems and connected ecosystems have become ubiquitous, intelligent power systems have gained increasing importance and visibility. In today’s security environment, power has become a transformative part of an industry that’s in transition to high-tech. Power systems now provide managed services and even network-based remote system control, management and monitoring — all further advancing the industry. In addition, the expertly engineered, agency-certified enclosures being designed today are helping solve many of the industry’s problems, such as the current shortage of skilled tradesmen, and the need to consistently reduce labor costs. What role does power play in your security or access control specification? When you know what power can provide in terms of return on investment (ROI) and lower total cost of ownership (TCO), you’ll rethink how to approach power solutions in your next project. Modern power solutions, like managed power services, also offer the ability to generate new streams of recurring revenue for the systems integrator. This white paper demonstrates six formative ways that solidify power’s new position in the security market.
