A Security Solution for the 21st Century
Introducing Avanta, a scalable,architecture operating environment that enables end users
to control, access and manage their security data like never before. Avanta collects, stores and responds to
security data from across an enterprise. It provides an intelligent and comprehensive data management environment for
any level of situation analysis.
With billions spent every year on professionally installed electronic security products and
services, companies realize that security data is corporate data, as critical to the bottom line as other forms of
information.
True Integration
The security industry struggles with the term integration. Everyone seems to have a different
definition and this creates confusion among consumers, dealers, consultants and manufacturers. Here is one breakdown:
systems can be defined as: stand-alone, interconnected and integrated.
 |
Stand-alone -
manufacturing companies sell to dealers, who re-sell the systems to end users. Stand-alone systems include intrusion
detection, access control and CCTV.
|
 |
Interconnected -
mechanical connections between relay outputs from one stand-alone system's relay inputs to another. These tend to be
inflexible, with data unusable for other purposes. Most intrusion, access control and CCTV systems are interconnected.
|
 |
Integrated -
dealers and resellers develop custom software that allows multiple systems to communicate.
Some systems provide software hooks for integration and they share
a common database, sub-systems controlled through a single user-interface and
that users across the enterprise can access the information.

Vigilos bases its strategy on developing a growing product line that addresses specific market requirements, and has
released products to address these areas of need, such as employee safety, improved standards, information protection and a long-term software-based solution. Avanta meets our industry's needs for a centralized security integration software application
for enterprise businesses, echoing JP Freeman's Integrated Security Systems Market Report (2000) that stated.
"End user's desire to mix and match equipment that uses a common software protocol is the factor that most heavily influences systems integrator's business".
