Program recognizes the fastest growing dealers and integrators in North America

Security Dealer & Integrator magazine announced on Monday that it is now accepting entries for its annual Fast50 Awards program. Now in its fourth year, the Fast50 recognizes the fastest-growing security dealers and systems integrators in North America. The Fast50 will be featured in the April 2015 issue of SD&I magazine and the top firms will be recognized during a ceremony on the main-stage at ISC West.

The Fast50 started as an effort to recognize the entire landscape of security systems contracting, from alarm dealers and installers to systems integrators — especially the many smaller companies that make up the biggest chunk of the industry. In addition to the ranking of the fastest-growing firms, the Fast50 program will outline best practices and feature important market research culled from information in the survey.   

“Not only does this program recognize best practices for growing a security business, it is also an opportunity to drill deeper into the reasons for that growth,” says Paul Rothman, Editor-in-Chief of SD&I Magazine. “That’s why it is so important to enter this free program — the more companies that enter, the greater the insight into what will work for everyone.” 

The Fast50 presents a level playing field for all companies, no matter the size. To enter, dealers and integrators must submit financial information for their past three operating years, however, no hard revenue numbers will be published and all information submitted will remain strictly confidential. A company’s ranking in the Fast50 is based on their year-to-year percentage growth and revenue growth, with their overall ranking balancing those two considerations. Submitting companies will also be asked their insight into several market trends and best practices for organizational growth.
