CNL announces it has entered a strategic partnership with Reliance High-Tech
CNL, the pioneer of Integrated Situational Management software, announces it has entered a strategic partnership with Reliance High-Tech, part of Reliance Security Group the UK's largest organically-grown security company.

This partnership will see Reliance High-Tech taking Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) solutions to the UK security market; to start with the focus will be large corporate organisations and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) facilities.

Dan Thomas, Sales & Marketing Director, Reliance High-Tech comments: "We are always looking to partner with companies who can provide us with the best possible combination of products and services to suit our customers' needs. CNL fits that spectrum and provides high-end intelligent, integrated PSIM solutions. In the current economic climate people are looking for improved security at reduced cost and by partnering with companies such as CNL we are able to provide that."

Reliance High-Tech has seen a sharp rise in the demand for intelligent integrated solutions, with reasons being cited by their customers including the need to make security functions more effective and more efficient, the need for security policy compliance and the increased level of terrorist threat.

Dan Thomas continues: "We are delighted to have partnered with CNL. Their extensive list of reference sites and our strong footprint in blue chip corporate organisations and High Security environments such as CNI, gives us the confidence needed to enter a strategic partnership like this. IPSecurityCenter has the flexibility needed to meet our clients' requirements in these demanding sectors."
