However, we should not just wait to see the answer, but rather, we should play an active role in making and developing the future of the industry. This goes for both suppliers and end users. We are in the midst of an evolutionary change, both from a technolo gical and commercial view point. really going to be the big issue. The security industry is about to change as its overall com modity driven market is about to slowly fade out and be replaced by a service oriented market. With the opportunities that network technology offers, SecurityasaService is not just a buz zword anymore, it is actually happening and it will change the market. must demonstrate that their suggested security measures are proven cost cutting strategies for all kinds of businesses. It is not about selling technology products anymore, but solutions. Security must be regarded as an added value to the working environment. Security technology solutions have to be considered as an important tool for companies to save on costs and gain on ROI. portunities for better finances. Security compa nies should be seen as their customer's partner in a united aim to improve or at least secure profit and cost efficiency. And end users should not be forced to pay in advance for all services to be delivered years ahead, whether it is pro vided by a security system or human resources. This kind of payment could be compared to paying a new employee up front for several annual salaries in advance, rather than paying monthly for the work that has been delivered. Who would make such a deal? For most corpo rations and small businesses, the ownership of the technical system is not important and has nothing to do with the purpose of a security investment.

It is not the camera, the detector or the access control system that makes a difference for the customer, but the functions and the services these products can generate. Just take a look at the IT or telecom industries, they are more or less entirely based on services. The security industry will follow, even though it will take some time. I am con vinced that 2014 will confirm the trend towards concepts based on SecurityasaService business models which marks a new beginning for the security industry. |
