Minuteman Security and Life Safety Secures a New Partner

ANDOVER, Mass., August 7, 2023 (Newswire.com) – Minuteman Security and Life Safety (“Minuteman” or the “Company”), a premier integrator and service provider of commercial security surveillance, access control, fire systems, and related life-safety technological offerings, entered into a financial partnership with Tenex Capital Management (“Tenex”), a New York-based private equity firm. 

Centralizing Your Security Systems

It’s common for large companies with multiple facilities in the US (and overseas) to have a fragmented set of security systems at all those sites. You might have several kinds of video surveillance solutions running at the same time, and access control systems that don’t talk to each other or your HR database.

How Managed Services Improve Your Security System’s Uptime

This is part of our series on how a managed services team helps your system deliver the required level of corporate safety and security.

(If you’re new to this series, a third-party “managed services team” is a remote set of security experts who assume responsibility for your security system’s day-to-day operation. Here’s our team.)

Today, we’ll focus on how they help deliver a high level of system uptime.

A Few Thoughts on Employee Compensation

Our small teams approach works because Minuteman employees tend to stay with us for a long time.

Why?

Why We Decided on the Small Teams Approach

Here’s the sequence of people you might meet when you hire a typical security technology integrator.

Case Study: Novozymes

Novozymes is a global biotechnology company with its North American headquarters located in Franklinton, NC. Novozymes decided to overhaul and expand upon their aging access control and CCTV systems.

Case Study: Johnston Memorial Hospital access control upgrade

Johnston Memorial Hospital in Abingdon, Virginia, was one of many organizations whose access control system was soon to reach end-of-life. After numerous issues, the hospital decided that it was time for a change. After extensive evaluation of their needs, we engineered an open-architecture solution, assuring the hospital that a complete “pull and replace” would never be required again. A plan was formulated to perform the conversion with little to no disruption to the hospital staff. This was no simple task given the tight time frame.

Case Study: Tri Properties access control conversion

End User: Tri Properties Inc., Raleigh, NC

Challenge: Legacy access control system needed next revision, which required upgrades to the server and remote workstations.

Solution: Repurpose the door hardware and open-platform Mercury field panels, and migrate the access control software to cloud-based, Keep by Feenics.
