Security system supplier BCDVideo debuted their new A&E Security Specifiers Programme in March 2021, which is available to security specifiers internationally.

Specifiers to leverage BCD’s experience and partnerships through an easy-to-use online portal in this programme. It offers a range of technical resources, ongoing education and expert support.

With the help of the A&E taskforce that BCD has assembled for this programme, consultants will have direct access to BCD technology specialists that can provide the most up-to-date product specifications and extended guidance.

Consultants can access tools for designing custom engineered solutions to create an optimal security system. The online portal gives 24/7 access to technical documentation and resources, including CSI MasterFormat 2020 specifications, system designs, product images and datasheets, calculators, and MSRP pricing, ensuring that consultants can find answers to many product specifications without waiting for a response.

Staying ahead of the curve

Additionally, ongoing education in virtualisation, accelerated computing for AI, network infrastructure, and current video storage trends will become available to keep specifiers on the cutting edge of how emerging technologies impact growth and convergence.

Designated task force experts will offer project consulting, design assistance and verification that remove risk and liability from specifiers and help position integrators to win the bid. BCDVideo guarantees that the proposed design will fit and perform as intended, or they will fix the shortfall at their own cost.

“Consultants need resources they can trust so they can accurately design reliable and resilient security systems and recommend solutions that meet their clients’ needs and budget. BCD has the resources to provide that guidance – and if we don’t have a specific answer, we are partners with some of the largest tech and software manufacturers in the world – an alliance that is supportive of our programme,” said Maureen Carlo, Director of Strategic Alliances in North America, BCD International.

An initial member of BCDVideo’s A&E Programme, Frank Pisciotta, CSC, President and CEO of Business Protection Specialists, Inc. shared: “BCD has done an excellent job creating a useful resource for the A&E community. Even in its infancy, I have found the BCDVideo A&E Programme to be an excellent resource. You have set the bar high for interfacing with the security specifying consultant community.”

The BCDVideo A&E Programme is open for online registration through the BCDVideo website.
