ADT Fire and Security has launched a new Network Communications
Group, a specialist division which will enable companies to cut down their
energy bills by giving them complete control of all their communications
systems.
Keeping control of various management information systems, building management
and security systems can be both costly and time consuming and often requires
extra manpower for multi-sites. The Network Communications Group's advanced
Communications Management System will provide the means for organisations
to monitor all functions at the same time from one location point.
The core of the system is NetCOM, an integrated software package that
simultaneously manages and controls electronic building systems such as
fire, security, CCTV, access control, heating and ventilation, lighting
and meter reading.
John
Morgan, Director of ADT's Network Communications Group, said: "Not
only does NetCOM allow the managing of all electronic functions sites
through local and wide area networks, it also lets the user precisely
monitor excessive energy consumption and wastage. The system is so efficient
that it is able to pay for itself within two years of being installed,
thereby minimising the final penalties imposed by the Climate Change Levy."
A NetCOM system can be tailored to an organisation's specific requirements
and a complete support package is provided. David Hampson, Sales Director
of the Network Communications Group, said the variety of clients who benefit
from ADT's expertise illustrates the versatility of the services the company
can provide.
