Mayflex the IP security product distributor, reports that Paxton, the UK manufacturer of electronic access control, is launching a free IP Access Control Bootcamp, to get infrastructure installers started in the security market.
Mayflex is working with Paxton to encourage their channel of infrastructure installers to take a look at Paxton access control products, which could complement their core work and add another revenue stream.
Tracey Calcutt, Mayflex Marketing Manager, said: ‘Paxton have designed a comprehensive programme that highlights to installers how easy it is to sell, quote and install IP access control to a building’s network, leaving them confident to go through the process themselves from start to finish. This fits perfectly into our own ‘Things Change’ campaign which was launched earlier in the year to highlight, to the infrastructure channel in particular, the fact that more solutions are now being converged onto one IP network, thereby saving time, money, space and energy and those partners that look to change and embrace these technologies, are more likely to see the benefits and take advantage of the additional sales opportunities.’
Adam Stroud, CEO of the Paxton Group, said: ‘Thousands of buildings are in need of IT and security solutions. The IP Access Control Bootcamp will help infrastructure installers to identify and access new profit margins that, with the right training, are theirs for the taking.’
The access product makers have broken the bootcamp down into four steps for getting started: in an already competitive market. Installers taking part in the bootcamp will get an overview of the relationship between electronic access control and IT installations, free training and sales advice, and supported all the way through their first installation by Paxton. With IP access control, electronic tokens and smartcards replace traditional locks and keys, providing electronic building security that sits on the network, securing access to doors and keeping staff and assets safe. Infrastructure installers can use their technical knowledge and customer base, scoring incremental sales in access control from their current IT customers. Paxton’s technical helpdesk is open 12 hours a day, six days a week.
