I quit my job at a Fortune 500 company to start my own business. What project, transaction, market trend or product had the greatest impact on your industry this year? A positive trend is robust construction in NYC. The security industry continues to grow even during challenging economic times. How will you be supercharging your productivity in 2017? I have added an employee and I am deploying a CRM solution that I hope will help automate a number of processes. What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2017? People’s appetite for technology and security will drive an increase in access control and video surveillance solutions. Many people want their smart phone to be the only thing they need to carry. It has become their wallet and people will begin to expect their phone to act as their keys as well. The technology exists and owners and property managers will need to add these solutions to their buildings to keep pace.
