SDM EXCLUSIVE REPORT<br />
2016<br />
Expanding<br />
Their Scope of<br />
Services<br />
Security systems integrators are taking on a much greater role in our<br />
connected world through their offerings of cybersecurity and added network<br />
services, as evidenced by the 21st annual Top Systems Integrators Report.<br />
By Laura Stepanek, Editor<br />
Security systems integrators lauded the state of the<br />
market in 2015, yet their revenue was down 1 percent<br />
overall and among those integrators with which<br />
a year-to-year comparison could be made, a significant<br />
number — 34 of 82 companies — reported decreased<br />
North American systems integration revenue. (See table on<br />
page 76 for more information about revenue deviations due to<br />
the omission of certain companies from the report.)<br />
SDM’s Top Systems Integrators Report ranks companies<br />
by their North American systems integration revenue, which<br />
includes solutions such as design, project management, product,<br />
installation, programming, start-up, and training sold<br />
directly to an end-user customer or through a tier of contractors.<br />
Total North American systems integration revenue — which is<br />
not the same as total annual gross revenue — reached $5.63 billion<br />
in 2015 for the 100 companies ranked on this year’s report.<br />
One of the reasons revenue growth did not match the commentary<br />
given by systems integrators could be that projects<br />
secured in the latter part of 2015 will not be on the books until<br />
2016 — contributing to flat financial performance, but elated<br />
forecasts by the integrators.<br />
“In my opinion the security market made a comeback last<br />
year and it is looking even better in 2016,” says No. 30, Sound<br />
Incorporated, which reported $20.2 million in 2015 systems<br />
integration revenue, up 2.6 percent over 2014.<br />
While there were some who experienced a flat or downcast<br />
market, a larger number of systems integrators say the market<br />
expanded in 2015. They cited several factors as having influenced<br />
that growth, including a higher level of new construction<br />
and the need to upgrade timeworn systems — especially given<br />
the greater benefit that digital-based <strong>technologies</strong> offer.<br />
“2015 saw a strong market for security system sales. In large<br />
part the market was driven by increased customer focus on<br />
upgrading legacy systems to newer digital <strong>technologies</strong>. Clients<br />
continue to gain a higher level of understanding that digital <strong>technologies</strong><br />
can drive efficiencies within their security operations<br />
and provide more value to their corporate stakeholders,” reports<br />
Tutela Inc., ranked No. 35. The company saw strong growth in<br />
the logistics and transportation vertical market last year.<br />
Security as a service, managed offerings, and cloud-based<br />
solutions are gaining traction in the marketplace, the integrators<br />
observed.<br />

More Integrators Saw<br />
Profit Rise in 2015<br />
Top Systems Integrators were asked, “Did your company’s<br />
net profit margin increase, decrease or stay about the<br />

A greater percentage of systems integrators saw their net<br />
profit improve last year (58 percent in 2015 compared<br />
with 53 percent in 2014). It was a welcome change<br />
following a slight dip in the prior year.<br />

Continued from page 61<br />
“In general, we participated in a strong market in 2015; good<br />
economic trends in many of the markets we serve helped to drive<br />
strong sales performance,” notes ADS Security, ranked No. 48,<br />
reporting 14.1 percent higher integration revenue. “While we<br />
saw growth across the board, we especially saw strong growth in<br />
our commercial segment and, in particular, with our cloud-based<br />
services such as SecureDoor (managed access control) and our<br />
family of RemoteView video (cloud based video storage).”<br />
Integrated Security Technologies says, “We are still looking<br />
to see the cloud services end of the business take off. It has<br />
been discussed more frequently but we anticipate some activity<br />
taking hold in 2016.”<br />
Other integrators also commented on factors that contributed<br />
to a strong marketplace:<br />
Telenet VoIP Inc. (No. 92): “Overall the market seemed to<br />
be healthier, margins seemed to stay flat but more opportunities<br />
were available for bidding. After structured cabling, and<br />
network upgrades, CCTV and access control seem to continue<br />
to be the focal point of educational entities.<br />
Advanced Electronic Solutions (No. 51): “2015 was a<br />
strong year for AES. We had many upgrades to IP systems<br />
as well as a number of new major projects. Profits increased<br />
as opposed to 2014.”<br />
Sentry Security (No. 94): “Market was strong in 2015. Integrated<br />
systems dominated.”<br />
Security Integrations (No. 40): “The market was strong,<br />
fueled by upgrades from analog CCTV to IP-based solutions.”<br />
Tele-Tector of Maryland Inc. (No. 68): “The market was<br />
strong in the area of upgrading analog systems to IP base.”<br />
Perhaps most telling about the direction that things are heading<br />
in comes from an observation by MidCo Inc., ranked No.<br />
28: “There is a need for more network-savvy systems integrators<br />
like MidCo.”<br />
Not only are offerings of cloud-based and managed security<br />
solutions growing, but the market is desiring — and demand-<br />

2015 Performance Statistics<br />
Total North American<br />
systems integration<br />
revenue:<br />
Total North American revenue from systems integration for<br />
the 100 largest integrators reached $5.63 billion in 2015<br />
from solutions such as design, project management,<br />
product, installation, programming, start-up, and training<br />
sold directly to an end-user customer or through a tier of<br />
contractors. It does not include recurring revenue from<br />
service and monitoring, as integrators were asked to report<br />
that amount separately in order to be ranked on the SDM<br />
100, a report based on RMR in the security industry. A<br />
comparison between the top 100 companies ranked this<br />
year and the top 100 ranked in 2015 shows a 17.34<br />
percent decrease in systems integration revenue. This<br />
can be attributed to the fact that several of the largest<br />
systems integrators either did not reply to SDM’s requests<br />
for information, could not comply due to restrictions of<br />
being publicly held, or were omitted due to acquisition<br />
(includes Diebold Security – will report next year as<br />
Securitas Electronic Security Inc.; Stanley Convergent<br />
Security Solutions; Protection 1; Schneider Electric; SDI;<br />
DTT; and Dakota Security Systems, among the top 25).<br />

The 2016 Top Systems Integrators Report ranks North<br />
American companies by their security systems integration<br />
revenue. This ranking is based on data provided to<br />
or, in a few cases, estimated by SDM. Ranked companies<br />
were asked to submit either an audited or reviewed<br />
financial statement, or a copy of their income tax return<br />
showing total gross receipts for the stated period. The<br />
vast majority of the firms ranked are privately held.<br />
The main table, which begins on page 62, ranks<br />
100 companies by their North American revenue in<br />
2015 from their security system integration projects.<br />
Integration includes solutions such as design, project<br />
management, product, installation, programming, startup,<br />
training, and time-and-materials-based service sold<br />
directly to an end-user customer or through a tier of contractors.<br />
This includes revenue related to security, such<br />
as: access control, ID/badging, video surveillance/analytics,<br />
intrusion alarms, perimeter security, electronic gate<br />
entry, intercom/communications, fire protection, etc. It<br />
does not include recurring revenue, as that is counted<br />
towards ranking on the SDM 100 (www.SDMmag.com/<br />
SDM100Report).<br />

Integrators’ Sales Revenue<br />
By Product Category<br />
Top Systems Integrators were asked to break out their<br />
2015 revenue by type of product. The majority is earned<br />
from integrated non-residential systems that combine<br />
two or more different technology solutions. No significant<br />
changes were recorded from 2014 to 2015 in the percentage<br />
of revenue from these types of products.<br />

ing — solutions that deliver “big data.” There is also a greater<br />
emphasis on cybersecurity, say the integrators of their clients.<br />
“ITO and big data will continue to be a focus of our goforward<br />
strategy. The industry is way behind other industries<br />
in the use of data. Video analytic metadata is going to become<br />
very valuable,” claims D/A Central Inc., ranked No. 70.<br />
Therefore, the need for security systems integrators to become<br />
more network-savvy is greater than ever. When asked what<br />
percentage of projects sold in 2015 incorporated IP-based technology,<br />
45 percent of systems integrators noted that between<br />
three-fourths and 100 percent of their projects incorporated IP.<br />
WHICH MARKETS ARE SPENDING?<br />
A handful of vertical segments stood out as front-runners<br />
in spending on integrated security products and services:<br />
education (especially higher-ed), healthcare, utilities/critical<br />
infrastructure, and transportation/logistics. Integrators also<br />
mentioned:<br />
• Energy<br />
• Retail (especially<br />

No. 2-ranked Convergint Technologies emphasizes the<br />
broad-reaching application of video <strong>technologies</strong>: “The market<br />
for security systems sales and integrated systems continued its<br />
strong growth in 2015. Video sales continue to dominate as customers<br />
begin to look beyond traditional security applications<br />
and start looking at using video for manufacturing, process<br />
improvement, regulatory compliance, etc.<br />
“The best growth came from the utility segment as these<br />
customers continue to be concerned about the security of their<br />
infrastructures. With the downturn in the price of oil, petrochemical<br />
has been hit the hardest in terms of being weak in<br />
2015,” Convergint says.<br />
No. 7-ranked G4S Secure Integration LLC, calls out critical<br />
infrastructure as a leading sector. “Our strongest sector is<br />
definitely critical infrastructure. We see tons of potential in that<br />
market to adhere by NERC/CIP regulations and see ourselves<br />
as one of the best providers,” the company says.<br />
No. 59, Stone Security, says the positive marketplace had a<br />
constructive effect on its operations. “We felt the market was<br />
stronger in 2015 than 2014 especially in education and industrial<br />
markets. We were forced to add a number of people to the<br />
organization to keep up with increased demand in 2015.”<br />
No. 81-ranked Peak Alarm Co. Inc., affirms that spending on<br />
integrated security solutions continues to hold up. “The market<br />

Top Systems Integrators have a positive outlook on the state<br />
of funding for their clients’ security projects, citing conditions<br />
such as an increase in crime and concern for employee<br />
safety. One respondent said the economy is on the upswing,<br />
and fear of current events, such as active shooters, is helping<br />

frozen state funds, among other reasons.<br />

2015<br />
North American systems integration revenue (as reported to<br />
or estimated by SDM) reached $5.63 billion in 2015, based<br />
on reporting from 100 Top Systems Integrators. This amount<br />
registers a 17.34 percent decrease, which is attributed to<br />
the omission of several large integrators from the report<br />
(see footnotes below and chart on page 63). For integrators<br />
whose revenue could be compared year-over-year, total<br />
systems integration revenue actually decreased 1 percent.<br />
*2007 figure reflects a correction to reported revenues for Johnson Controls and ADT,<br />
following incorrect reporting in 2006. While it appears that there was a 17 percent<br />
increase in total revenue between 2006 and 2007, it was actually 4 percent growth.<br />
†<br />
In the 2010 report, several notable companies did not participate, including SAIC,<br />
Red Hawk Security, North American Video, and National Security Systems Inc., which<br />
skewed the results. Among systems integrators for which a year-to-year comparison<br />
could be made, there was actually only a 4.4 percent decrease in performance<br />
between 2009 and 2010.<br />
**Two major factors contributed to the decrease in systems integration revenue; ADT<br />
was not ranked, and Siemens Industry Inc. systems integration revenue was adjusted<br />
downward by an SDM estimate.<br />
‡<br />
Siemens Industry Inc., which had been ranked in 2015 using estimated systems<br />
integration revenue, was not ranked in 2016. On the surface, it appears that Top<br />
Systems Integrators revenue declined 7.1 percent in 2015. When Siemens is<br />
removed from this calculation for comparison purposes, however, systems integration<br />
revenue for the top 100 companies grew very slightly, at 0.35 percent year-over-year.<br />
***A 17.34 percent decrease in systems integration revenue is attributable to the<br />
fact that several of the largest systems integrators either did not reply to SDM’s<br />
requests for information, could not comply due to restrictions of being publicly held,<br />
or were omitted due to acquisition (includes Diebold Security – will report next year as<br />
Securitas Electronic Security Inc.; Stanley Convergent Security Solutions; Protection<br />
1; Schneider Electric; SDI; DTT; and Dakota Security Systems, among the top 25).<br />

by corporate spending arising from office and warehouse<br />
expansion. No specific market exhibited low or no growth.”<br />
In addition to specific drivers in individual market segments,<br />
the overall concern about active-shooter situations and terrorist<br />
episodes in general is casting its shadow across North America<br />
and spreading into the systems integration industry.<br />
“Terrorism in the news, especially domestic terrorism,<br />
has led to an increased focus on security. The education segment,<br />
in particular, has dedicated a large amount of budget to<br />
improving security,” writes No. 43-ranked Redrock Security<br />
& Cabling Inc.<br />
“The concern of continued terrorist activity will continue to<br />
drive the need for improved security solutions, which will drive<br />
increased funding,” asserts No. 3-ranked Johnson Controls Inc.<br />
According to No. 13-ranked Securityhunter Inc., terrorism<br />
is a top issue in the security marketplace. “The federal government<br />
is investing heavily in securing its people and facilities. A<br />
great market opportunity exists in helping to secure the border,<br />
and key infrastructure locations like airports.”<br />

Among the top trending issues that Top Systems Integrators<br />
think will have the greatest impact on their business in<br />
2016, active-shooters/acts of terrorism, cybersecurity, and the<br />
growth of Security as a Service through cloud-based services<br />
and managed offerings stand out. The first has the potential<br />
to produce devastating consequences, yet provides opportunities<br />
for integrators to become a key part of securing America<br />
against such atrocious deeds. ■<br />
