What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2017?

We have seen a surge in demand for usable data by our clients related to our smart building managed services, such as hosted access control, video verification and interactive security services to increase ROI. With this trend comes an increasing reliance on networks and the IoT, all of which require foresight, proper integration and system maintenance. We expect to see a continued trend in 2017 and beyond in shifting the onus of such activities from property owners to third-party service providers such as American Security.
