STE Announces Security Innovation Award Winners
Brivo Systems wins 2nd year in a row for Grubb Ventures project
Once again, the security industry has stepped up with its most innovative security applications as part of the 2009 Security Innovation Awards from Security Technology Executive (STE) magazine. The contest, in its fourth year, recognized the most innovative security applications and installations contributed by security industry vendors and integrators.
After placing 1st in 2008 for its Dunkin’ Donuts installation, Brivo Systems took this year’s Bronze Medal for its Grubb Ventures project. All the winners including the 2009 Gold Medal winner, Lenel, were chosen by a panel of eight security industry experts, including STE editor-in-chief Steve Lasky. This year’s Silver Medal went to TimeSight Systems, for its Technicolor Inc. submission.
Bill Burgess, facilities manager, Grubb Ventures, a provider of residential, commercial and development products and services, worked closely with integrator ASG Security to create a user-friendly access control system that increases security while improving employee effectiveness and productivity. After a gradual roll-out, Grubb standardized on Brivo’s ACS WebService, and integrated the system with its surveillance infrastructure.
The Grubb Ventures project will be featured in the November issue of STE.
“This year’s competition was very close and really demonstrated more than ever before the network-centric applications that are becoming more and more prevalent in the vertical markets of this industry,” Lasky says.
