Safeguard Unit Embarks on the Academia Vertical with Success

Sean Finegan, Vice President, Business Development, for Safeguard Products and Services Group, stated, "We are very excited about this new vertical for our Acquient division. Landing this project enters us into a new market with significant impact to our overall revenue stream." Finegan added, "Many of these institutions are 501(c)(3) organizations, listed as charter schools, providing a tuition-free, public education alternative, and have a dire need for electronic security surveillance and access control systems."

R. Michael Lagow, Safeguard's CEO, stated, "The need for security in our school systems, both public and private (schools), is essential. Not only the Columbine incident remains on our minds, but most recently, another student was shot and wounded on the Cape Fear campus in North Carolina, and video surveillance tapes helped identify the shooters, thus the need for security systems!" Lagow added, "With the addition of these ten school campuses, we now have a cornerstone to work from and we expect to increase our reoccurring monitoring revenue greater than $750K annual beginning this fiscal year. We see this trend continuing for the foreseeable future, growing our subscription based monitoring services significantly over the next few years."
