While the security industry is not immune to the economy, there will always be a consistent demand to protect people and property

Companies embracing new cloud-based technologies will be among the winners, those with legacy business models will struggle

Vision Security Technologies 2014/2015 Review & Forecast

The year 2014 was somewhat flat due to a still recovering economy and building industry in our Southern region of the United States.

Vision Security Technologies also saw an increase in campus and workplace violence, which created a heightened baseline for the entire security industry.

Managed services is a notable trend looking ahead to 2015. Customers are looking for a lower cost of entry and to outsource the management of a variety of systems. Companies embracing new cloud-based technologies will be among the winners, and those stuck with legacy business models will struggle.

While the security industry is not immune to the economy, there will always be a consistent demand to protect people and property. To be successful, companies will need to identify untapped mid- and small-level opportunities that need continued maintenance or that need to implement enhanced security systems.
