Gone are the days when you could walk into a client site and go about your business running cable and hanging panels in an isolated environment. Electronic security installations have become more intricate with the convergence of physical security and IT. Physical security data is migrating onto the corporate IP network necessitating the involvement of your client's IT personnel in your system design and installation. 
   Security, IT and the end user need to engage in an open dialogue prior to system design. Understanding project management practices, classic systems analysis and design, and using a Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will ensure you meet or exceed customer expectations. Join our co-presenters, Paul Ingevaldson and Gary Slavin, as they offer tips from both the IT and Security sides of the industry on how to make sure all parties come to the table.
