And there’s more good news – with no ongoing license fees or device costs, you will enjoy the IDIS promise of a low total cost of ownership (TCO)!

In today’s fast moving surveillance market, and at a time when budgets are often tight, it’s vital for Security Managers to understand the true cost of the video solutions available to them. If you want to plan an upgrade program – and build a strong business case for doing so – it can be useful to ask for support from a trusted manufacturer and integrator. They should help you explore, and break-down accurately, the benefits and costs of upgrading, taking into account full Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which is a calculation of how much you really pay over the lifecycle of the solution you buy. Understanding TCO is particularly important if you are to make an informed choice and build a powerful case for funding. A proposal that sets out benefits and costs accurately will be far more effective than a bill of materials and labor costs. It will allow senior executives to make informed decisions based on reduced risks and added value, balancing capital expenditure against ongoing costs, allowing them to unlock budgets faster.

Mixing and matching surveillance equipment and software from different suppliers can quickly bring problems of complexity. Almost as soon as the kit is out of the box, an engineer is faced with compatibility problems. Mix-and-match sourcing also brings extra costs further down the line when upgrades are needed.
