Summary
Planning a security system upgrade is a challenge in any environment, but what if you are a hospital, airport, or any other public space that requires access during the retrofit process? This webinar will discuss how to overcome the challenges of business operations disruptions, employee buy-in, project management and deadlines, technology procurement and budget issues. Our security experts will share real-world experiences for best practices and lessons learned.
Questions to be answered:
- What is the most important fact to consider when implementing a major retrofit — cost, migration, ROI, ease of installation, level of customization or new technologies?
- How can you best realize cost savings during a retrofit project and how would you determine the TCO and ROI of the project?
- What strategies must you employ to ensure a seamless migration from the old to the new system?
- What are the most challenging obstacles faced during a major retrofit project?
- How should you assemble your retrofit team both internally and outsourced?
- How involved should the IT department be in any major retrofit project?
