The Benefits of a Unified Security System

Communication is Key

I think it is safe to say that people appreciate good communication. Whether it’s in a personal or professional relationship, individuals with well-developed communication skills are a game-changer. If we seek this in our interactions with people, why not strive for it to be a leading element in our security systems too? A unified security system is efficient, it’s effective and it doesn’t just aid your business in the present; it aims to plan and propel it into the future. At scDataCom, we support our community with unified, integrated systems in order to yield the most advantageous results for every individual. Every customer and circumstance is unique. Here are a few reasons why a unified security platform is the best approach for a variety of security needs.

Woo-woo All Aboard!

When it comes to a unified security platform I believe a quote from Genetec says it best, “A unified physical security platform is a comprehensive software solution that manages the different components of a security environment through a centralized open-architecture built to provide complete access to all data.”

For some, that explanation is just a bunch of technical jargon. If you’re a visual learner, like me, it helps to think of an integrated security platform like a large system of pipes where, like water, information and data can effortlessly flow throughout the entire apparatus. A unified system allows all devices to communicate with each other and welcomes new technologies with open arms into the conversation.

Training

Not only does a unified security platform enable technology devices to operate smoothly, but it also fosters a seamless transition for employees. With an integrated system, businesses can save time and money. Funds that were once used to constantly re-train staff members, can now be reallocated to more necessary endeavors, making adapting to new additions easier for security engineers.

We would also like to showcase that when the components of a system are compatible, the system’s operators are able to rapidly pinpoint issues within the network making unexpected and routine maintenance a more pleasant process.

Looking to the Future

Implementing a unified security system from the beginning will help propel a business into the future. It can be difficult to know the future needs of your business, what changes will occur along the way, and how to adapt to meet those unique specifications. Choosing an integrated system offers businesses the flexibility to make adjustments to their network, when the time comes, without having to worry about updating an entire system and potentially risk losing data.

Investing in every possible security mechanism, that may turn out to be unnecessary for your business and can turn into a waste of precious company funds. Granting yourself the space to make decisions that will serve you in the present and prepare you for the future is key to the health and wellness of your business.
