Andrews International and D3 Partner to Deliver Advanced Technology and Uniformed Security Services to Enterprises
Partnership Enables Enterprises to Strengthen Security While Reducing Costs of Security Operations
LOS ANGELES, March 2 -- Andrews International, the largest privately owned U.S. full-service provider of security and risk mitigation services, today announced a partnership with D3 Security Management Systems (D3). The partnership enables the companies to provide enterprise clients with an optimal mix of manpower and technology to strengthen security while driving down overall costs. Under the agreement, Andrews International will offer four unique solutions based on D3's products, widely recognized as the industry's premier set of enterprise security management (ESM) technologies.
By combining D3's ESM solutions with Andrews International's strategic expertise, enterprises can significantly improve their security posture while decreasing their physical footprint. The gains in security management efficiency translate directly into broader security coverage that requires fewer uniformed guard hours, thus reducing costs while improving security.
"This partnership offers the best of both worlds to clients - the industry's premier uniformed guard services, combined with the best security management technology," said Andrews International Executive Vice President, Ray O'Hara. "In the current economy, clients are challenged with the traditionally conflicting requirements of controlling spending and strengthening security. The Andrews International-D3 partnership provides the ideal solution for these conflicting priorities, enabling clients to add a new level of intelligence to security operations so they can be more efficient and effective."
Andrews International's clients can choose from four distinct D3 product package options, giving them the flexibility to deploy the solution that most closely meets their specific needs. Each solution is delivered on a Software as a Service basis with low user hourly rates, incorporates powerful handheld PCs for uniformed security use, and includes an administration tool kit, training, help desk support and account and project management.
Each package also includes such standard features as:
-- Incident Reporting and Task Management: Enables security operations to
easily conduct configurable data collection, workflow and analysis,
ensuring compliance, collaboration and permitting organizational
convergence.
-- e-Alert: Enables individuals to open a configured form to report
events. Data can trigger automatic notifications, alert responsible
security professionals, and prompt human audits to escalate or archive
events.
-- Analysis Reports: Provides ad-hoc, dynamic and real-time data analysis
for enhanced decision making. Powerful on-the-fly tools generate
graphical and tabular reports for assessing and refining resource use,
increasing operational efficiency, and conducting more precise risk
assessment and planning.
The four package options include:
-- Desktop Lite: For enterprise clients who want to implement a
centralized electronic incident management system for desktop PCs.
Available for two named users only.
-- Desktop Pro: Advanced features for incident management include a
notifications and workflow function. This enables information
dissemination to appropriate people based on customizable triggers,
automating business processes ranging from basic to complex scenarios.
Clients select the number of named users.
-- ESM Lite: For enterprise clients who want personnel to utilize the D3
system from the field via handheld PDAs, but have no need for
checkpoint data collection and analysis. Additional features include
Geo-fencing Footprint, which sets boundaries and sends alerts when a
device travels outside of a pre-determined area, effectively verifying
officer positions. A Post Orders feature extends standard operating
procedures to all users and provides managers with an efficient way to
revise and disseminate updates.
-- ESM Pro: Includes all the features of ESM Lite with the additional
ability to collect and analyze checkpoint data using ruggedized
handheld PCs equipped with barcode scanners. Also includes a Dispatch
Function for end-to-end tracking of an occurrence from call receipt
through resource arrival and departure.
There are no up-front costs for D3's technology; Andrews International provides competitive pricing as part of its uniformed security contracts with enterprise clients. Andrews International also handles all logistics, maintenance and training directly with D3.
