Top Reasons Why You Should Be Offering Cloud-based Access Control Systems

Doors are the access control’s window of opportunity for security dealers and integrators.


As end users grow their physical sites, so do access control requirements, from additional credentials to securing new doors, driving top line revenues and bottom-line profits. Scalability, ease of operation, and cost effectiveness are important considerations to both integrator and end user alike. Most importantly, cloud based access control systems provide a repeatable RMR generator.

Cloud based access control systems are a great product to offer to your clients, and this Electronic Security Expo session explains why and how. If you’re ready to grow your recurring monthly revenues, scale your business, and offer some amazing products to your current and future clients, this session is for you.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What end users really want from their access control systems
  • The latest credential technologies that open doors safely and securely
  • How the cloud can drive installation revenue and RMR

Driving Higher RMR on Every Sale

Revenues are not all created equal. While having strong margins from installation revenues are vital to the overall health of a security company, RMR proves a more sustainable business practice and superchargers its enterprise value.

Your sales and technical staff can contribute highly to adding higher RMR for your new and existing customers. Creating more RMR on every sale requires a thoughtful approach that measures and holds your staff accountable for selling RMR on every sale. Imagine making continual sales every single month without having to search for new customers every single time. This is the power of recurring revenues, and this is the RMR education that you and your team has been looking for. Make sure you attend this Electronic Security Expo Session to more fully utilize this RMR opportunity. 

RMR education is key to leveraging and maximizing your organization’s recurring revenue streams which can have a great affect on yearly revenues. In this ESX Session, we have created an RMR education session that is specifically designed to help electronic security professionals learn how about the best strategies and tactics that can help grow their businesses.

In this session, you’ll learn:
