The Harmony Alliance comprises power supply and sounder manufacturer Elmdene International; exterior detection and CCTV company GJD; intruder alarm manufacturer Texecom; and integrated access control system supplier TDSi.
“We believe that this high level collaboration represents a major advance in the harmonisation of security product integration,” said Clym Brown, Harmony Alliance spokesman. “In initial discussions between the four companies, who are not direct competitors, it soon became apparent that there was a major gap in the market for a solutions-driven initiative that could readily combine the knowledge of like-minded providers, whose product offerings are based around a strong emphasis on innovation and best practice. The result was an agreement to establish the Harmony Alliance which is being officially launched at this year’s Global Security Summit.
By cooperating, member companies will be able to create solutions where the individual elements are designed to work as effectively as possible with those from other alliance members, said Brown.
“The rolling out of this unprecedented initiative should also deliver the product breadth, and reach, necessary for us to compete head-on with the larger competitors in the marketplace, across a broad spectrum of security applications. No longer will customers have to be tied in with a traditional player to achieve the seamless and wide ranging integration they are looking for.’
