Choosing MMS

Q: Why should I become a Managed Services Dealer?

A: There are three areas to consider:

Growth. As your recurring monthly revenue (RMR) engine grows, its revenue impacts your ability to be more competitive in other lines of business. Revenue from your RMR engine allows proposals to be more aggressive on margins since your RMR revenue often decreases overhead. Your business will be more compelling compared to competitors that don’t have a cloud-based RMR solution.

Cost Efficiency. Cloud-based security services eliminate software, servers, and associated labor to install, service, and maintain. Compared to on-premise solutions, a lower cost of entry equals more wins and a competitive advantage.

The Future. By 2027, industry analysts project that more than 50% of all access control deployments will be cloud-based. This is one of the most profound growth sectors in the physical security industry. There are significant investments being made from a development standpoint in cloud-based solutions. As a result, the latest cutting edge technology and advancements will be focused on cloud-based models for deployment, making cloud-based solutions more attractive to end-users.

Logistics

Q: What if the internet goes down?

A: In some access control platforms when connectivity is lost, the system operates in a degraded mode. hattrix does not operate this way. With a hattrix solution, the door controllers themselves have the capacity to store up to 50,000 concurrent events. If loss of connectivity should occur, your security system will continue to operate without any degradation. When connectivity is restored, all stored events are then pushed from the controllers to the cloud servers.

Q: What if I need to make an immediate change?

A: hattrix operates in real-time. Any changes made are immediately implemented when utilizing our desktop or mobile application. Fully managed systems are administered by access control experts who can immediately execute your change requests on your behalf. In either case, operating in real-time ensures critical changes are implemented quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

Q: Is our data safe if it’s off site?

A: hattrix utilizes 128bit AES encryption and is further enhanced by a secure socket layer (SSL), similar to online banking. The hattrix platform is deployed in a data centre environment with the highest specification for cloud-based access control available. We power and protect our end users’ from cyber threats by ensuring cybersecurity risk is managed throughout the lifecycle of the solutions we provide.
