08.03.2007 — What's in a name? A lot, as every integrator knows.

At CEDIA Expo, Integrator Support LLC will have a booth to tout the PSA Security Network, one of the largest electronic security cooperatives catering to commercial systems integrators.

But how many residential integrators would have come by the booth if it was titled PSA Security Network vs. Integrator Support?

The organization encompasses more than 200 electronic security systems integrators, aligning them with more than 200 manufacturing vendor partners.



Together, the members are responsible for more than $1.4 billion in annual security systems design, installation and integration as well as maintenance of access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire and life safety systems.

Using the Integrator Support name, the Westminster, Colo.-based company has created a "toolkit" of useful services, including:

- An online "integrator finder" for commercial clients seeking dealers.

- Business management software.

- Remote monitoring services that integrators can resell.

- Financial packages designed to help residential integrators garner recurring monthly revenue.
