The 5th annual Top Systems Integrators Report ranks the 100 largest firms selling CCTV, access control and integrated security. The 5th annual Top Systems Integrators Report is one indicator that 1999 was a successful year for firms in the business of installing integrated security, access control, and CCTV systems. Top Systems Integrators are defined as businesses that derive more than half of their revenue from the sales, installation, and service of access control, CCTV, and integrated security systems. There are some exceptions, however, such as several firms that operate distinctly separate integrated security divisions of businesses such as home security or electrical contracting, for example.
Many firms specialize in one equipment area or in a vertical market, such as office buildings.
In addition, many companies also sell other types of security-related systems such as intercoms, parking controls, badging systems, HVAC controls, safes and locks, and computer networks. Systems integration is a growing market fueled by technology and the desire of end users to limit their exposure to liability. There are opportunities in both new markets and existing markets in which technology upgrades are needed. The Top Systems Integrators Report includes 100 firms ranked in order of their 1999 total annual revenue. The tables present selected information about each firm, as submitted in a questionnaire.
