Obstacles

What is stopping your company from migrating to IP Control?

• Problem #1—IP Systems are the Future - Expanding the IP network into other controllable environments is a natural progression of computers. Economies of scale, manufacturing, technological advancements, and convergence are all indicators of the future of automation.

• Problem #2—Software Only Companies Lack Integrated Solutions - Installers are left on their own to figure out what hardware to use, diagnose problems, and compose a working system. Lack of experience dealing with the hardware gives the impression that IP systems are unstable.

• Problem #3—IP Systems are too scalable - With thousands of hardware manufacturers, millions of software programs, and an endless line-card of capabilities, it is difficult to get your hands around IP Systems. Integrators need direction and focus to keep the systems from becoming difficult and overwhelming.

• Problem #4—Too Many PC Products - Too many PC based products to choose from is both a blessing and a curse of the IP System. Desktops, HTPC’s, laptops, tablets, web pads, PDA’s, monitors, routers, wireless access points, etc. are everywhere. Prices keep dropping as manufacturers become more aggressive, but which products are right for my project?
