Security Networks of America has changed its name.
The organization of 36 independent security companies is now "NetOne." Together, the 36 companies serve 775,000 customers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The group "shares best practices and compare performance to ascertain the most effective methods of giving customers what they need—and projecting what they may need in the future." Among other trends, the group "foresee[s] a rapid expansion of the remote interactive services our companies offer."
In an announcement, SNA managing director David Carter said: "The name acknowledges that we function as a network, reflecting the unity of purpose of our member companies —sharing information and expertise to foster best practices and evaluating new technologies, so their customers are provided with a broad range of solutions to meet their expanding security needs and improve business operations.”
The name change is also an acknowledgment that times have changed since the group was founded way back in 1988. In a prepared statement SNA chairman Scott Elkins, CEO of UAS in Philadelphia said: "Customers want to control facilities and systems remotely, and they want to be able to use the operational insights they gain from these systems to manage their companies more efficiently and effectively."
