Selecting Security Technology Providers.
Tod Schneider · 2009
Security technology consultants help determine your security technology needs. Systems integrators design and install the appropriate hardware and software to meet those needs. There is often overlap between consultants and integrators; most consultants were at some point integrators and installers themselves. The distinction is that a consultant acts as a neutral third party, serving as your advocate and protecting your interests as you wade into the security technology maze. Select a consultant first; the consultant will help you find the right systems integrator.
