Dakota to resell, install Prominex Surveillint

Proximex, developers of award-winning solutions for the physical security information management (PSIM) market, announced today that it has signed a reseller agreement with Dakota Security Systems, a South Dakota-based security systems integration company. Under the terms of this agreement, Dakota Security Systems will resell and install Proximex Surveillint in its large enterprise accounts in vertical markets including financial, retail and government entities.

"This agreement is significant because of the innovative possibilities that Proximex brings to our customer base," said Eric Yunag, president and CEO of Dakota Security Systems. "The ability of Surveillint to bring together information from different subsystems -- whether that be security, building management or IT -- into one common platform with an automated workflow is a 'game-changer' in how people will manage their security information. This is one of the most exciting opportunities we’ve seen in our thirty years of integrating security systems."

Proximex Surveillint is a premier physical security solution for policy-based incident discovery, connection and resolution. Powered by a sophisticated workflow engine, Surveillint takes advantage of existing security systems to mitigate risk across an enterprise environment by providing actionable intelligence, speeding security incident resolution and reducing security operations costs.

"Dakota Security Systems is an important partner as it excels in providing design, implementation and project management services to complement our enterprise security deployments," said Jack Smith, CEO of Proximex. "In addition, Dakota’s comprehensive understanding of physical security, IT infrastructure and business continuity allow them to deliver solutions that improve security as well as add operational and business value."

Operators prefer Surveillint for its intuitive and comprehensive interface, supervisors like its incident reporting and auditing, and management approves of its ability to provide a complete overview of the organization’s entire security environment. In just one solution, Proximex allows different security professionals, regardless of their level within the organizations, to communicate with one another as well as view the information required for their jobs.
