Doing More with Less: The New Reality of 2009
by Cynthia Freschi
Video surveillance and the broader field of security technology and management have traditionally been cocooned from the ravages of a cyclical economy. When times are tough, businesses want to protect what they have and tend to purchase to help ensure the safety and security of people, property and assets.
