IDIS has been named as the best security equipment manufacturer in this year’s UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). And meanwhile Tracey Edwards of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust was named as best in-house security manager after a series of video upgrade projects using IDIS products.
The double follows a selection round, with the finalists and winners chosen by an independent judging panel comprising figures from across the UK security industry. The OSPAs founder and organiser Professor Martin Gill of Perpetuity Research said the OSPAs were becoming the ultimate accolade for the industry.
IDIS said that its technology is designed with two aims in mind: to improve user experience, with problem-solving tools that are easy to use; and to build long term partnerships with systems integrators, by giving full project support whenever needed, plus the benefits of true plug-and-play installation.
Judges noted that IDIS is developing advanced deep learning analytics, mobile tools, and practical solutions to help customers face challenges, including operating during pandemic conditions, and preparing for beyond. Tracey Edwards’s work, and her use of IDIS video tech, has resulted not just in reduced risks to patients with mental healthcare needs, and to the NHS staff who look after them, but in improved care outcomes, and better lives. Tracey has drawn up a strategy and implemented the best measures to deliver it – including video infrastructure upgrades across the Trust’s facilities. Tracey is also an advocate for specialist training for security professionals working in NHS mental healthcare. “Her courage and experience to drive a contrary view and make changes to people’s life outcomes was something the judges applauded,” said the award organisers.
James Min, Managing Director, IDIS Europe, pictured, said: “It’s fantastic that our hard work developing and delivering end-to-end video solutions has been recognised with this highly sought after OSPA award, and that one of our most forward-looking customers, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust’s security manager Tracey Edwards has triumphed too. The OSPAs independent judging panel comprises some of the industry’s most respected experts, so this accolade means a great deal to everyone in the IDIS family and to our integration partners.”
