There remains a common perspective that security primarily entails the presence of uniformed personnel patrolling establishments, verifying credentials and identities, and employing tools such as metal detectors to deter and prevent misconduct.
But in this digital era, threats manifest in both physical and virtual forms. Individuals with malicious motives can orchestrate mischief from a distance, emphasizing the evolving challenges of modern security.
Annex Digital, Inc. (ADI), a leading system integrator in the country, addresses the new realities and requirements of keeping premises, properties and people safe and secure by offering an end-to-end service that seamlessly merges diverse solutions to the varied needs of clients.
The expertise it has gained from more than 23 years of operating security systems has enabled the company to compile an impressive portfolio of solutions to address and adapt to specific needs of public and private institutions. The wide and diverse range of solutions are designed to deal with problems related to Smart Cities, Command Centers, Traffic Management, Satellite and Communication Systems, Intrusion and Xray Systems, and Ease of Doing Business Platforms, among other things.
Its Chairman and CEO, Rea N. Lactao, says ADI’s end-to-end solutions capabilities are among its advantages. “[F]rom conceptualization to post warranty support, we take pride in our unique experience that gave us the expertise and know-how in different aspects of problem-solving and solutioning journey on how to make the overall operation of an organization and financial requisites easy.”
As the target market of ADI consists of entities with a broad range of financial capacities – from small to large – Lactao adds that they adapt solutions to the client’s capability to ensure that the service is funded sustainably. “That is why we develop diverse models or approaches that would be client-specific.”
ADI is focused more on Return on Investment (ROI) rather than cost so its different investment options/models ensure that its solutions achieve it.
Its partnership with Advanced Remote Managed Security Services, Inc. (ARMSS) “for clients who prefer a consummate managed service where all aspects of the security operations are covered from system operation to security manpower response” can be a very viable solution option.
ADI’s pioneering seamless convergence of physical security, information technology (IT), and manpower response ensures that the cost of overall operations of risk, IT, and security are managed easily without disrupting growth and profitability.
ADI has the agility and flexibility to innovate and craft responses to new and emerging challenges. It does not offer typical templates or catalogs of solutions for clients to select what is most appropriate and responsive to their needs. Instead, Lactao says the company “participates during the conceptualization stage so that we get to understand the client’s existing system requirements and pain points.”
ADI’s nationwide presence, Lactao says, “ensures the most responsive and dedicated service and 24/7 Helpdesk Support, with more than 250 highly skilled engineers, technicians, and subcontractors to provide maintenance and technology support anytime.” ADI will provide top level technical support and customer service . . . and ensure they get the most from their investment.” Enablement is also a priority. End-users are trained and certified to ensure that systems and solutions are used effectively and efficiently.
ADI believes security systems are valuable investments in the future and key to strategic growth. It is committed to excellence and compliance with world class standards, as proven by the recent 9001 and 27001 ISO Certifications.
