I need access to training and educational resources to empower my teams. I would like to work with providers, integrators, and consultants to continually evolve the roadmap that gradually transitions sites, systems, and devices to the cloud. Open communication with partners and working closely post- deployment to optimize systems and architecture, whether it's related to operations, workflows, or new use cases. How can I ease the transition to the cloud? What level of support and guidance can I expect before, during, and after my deployment? Deployment support I have physical security partners with a broad ecosystem of compatible technology partners and devices that span video, access control, intrusion, intercom, IIoT, and more. I need a vendor that is forthcoming about all certifications and compliance standards including self-assessments, third-party audit reports, and documentation about data, sub-processors, and network security. Opportunity to engage with an active user community and ecosystem of partners to better understand ongoing developments and opportunities that will enhance deployment or help reach new business objectives. How stable and established is the vendor? Are there signs that we can trust this vendor and that they will continue to support and develop the solution in the future? Vendor longevity and trust Consider how a SaaS subscription can offer you more predictable cost planning. With projectable recurring costs, you can better budget security projects, while balancing capital and operational expenses. Focus on vendors that actively invest in research and development, keep a pulse on emerging trends, and deliver solutions that cater to more progressive needs and requirements.
