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 />

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 />

21 st ANNUAL REPORT<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 />

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 />

in 2015 continued to be strong in security systems sales driven<br />

to keep security projects active. Among the 5 percent<br />

who see funding as worse than the previous year, they cite<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 />
