The access control and security management product manufacturer Gallagher Security has entered into a strategic partnership with Advancis, the security and building management software firm.
By combining Gallagher’s access control platform, Command Centre, with Advancis’ open integration platform, WinGuard, the two companies say they are enabling users to manage security more effectively across complex environments.
Spencer Marshall, Executive Vice President – Europe at Gallagher Security, pictured, says: “Partnering with Advancis demonstrates our dedication to building strong, strategic alliances that give our customers greater flexibility and control. Advancis’ open integration approach complements Gallagher’s own commitment to interoperability, and together we can offer end customers a powerful, tailored security ecosystem. This is another example of how Gallagher is expanding its presence in Europe by partnering with market leaders who share our vision of customer-led innovation.”
