CARROLLTON,
TEXAS - February 19, 2009 - SAMSUNG | GVI Security today announced that it is
accelerating its commitment to service, simplicity and integration. This dedication
is exemplified by a new green logo that represents integration, convergence
and team building, all within an environmentally-friendly atmosphere.
The arrows
of new logo represent how the Company's full video product lines come together,
working with each other and how they complement other security and facility
functions. It illustrates how the Company's corporate infrastructure, comprised
of product management, technology design, marketing demand generation, field
sales support, customer service, logistics and technical support unite to solve
customer problems. The arrows in the logo are directed at each other, representing
how increased service and support in pre- and post-sales are aimed towards the
sole mission of serving the customer in the rapidly changing security industry.
"The world
of security continues to change, becoming more complex, as witnessed by the
increasing desire to install IP solutions and other sophisticated applications
that tie various roles
in organizations together," emphasizes Steve Walin, CEO of SAMSUNG | GVI
Security. "As a result, we look forward to helping our customers manage
these changes by implementing new projects that accelerate service, simplicity
and integration."
Walin continues,
"We will be adding more new products and technologies to our present lines
of video products, continuing to make them even easier to install, use and integrate.
We'll complement our present outstanding services with new initiatives that
help simplify the complexities of specifying, ordering, receiving and installing
systems. We also plan to create even more tools of both the soft and hard varieties
that integrate different types of video equipment and their applications together.
In addition, we're developing more tools that blend video into the applications
of other corporate functions, from retail marketing to access control."
"The green
in the logo highlights our commitment to the environment, another change that
is impacting the security industry," relates Joe Restivo, GVI COO/CFO.
"Not only is it practicing good corporate stewardship but, more and more,
customers are requiring it. Therefore, we use recycled paper on all of our business
cards, catalogs, brochures, packaging and other paper goods used in production.
Our partner Samsung Electronics is additionally complying to RoHS (Restriction
on Hazardous Substances) directives in production."
Restivo adds,
"Our solutions and services are already among the best in the security
industry, as borne out by the extremely large city-wide system we installed
in Colombia, the 155-branch 4,000 camera integration done for Caixa Economica
Federal, the largest public bank in Central America, the implementation of a
video solution for a multi-national retail chain comprising thousands of cameras,
and the installation of a complete video security system for the investor center
network of a major nationwide financial services firm with retail investor centers
throughout the United States, among other projects.
"We sell
throughout the Americas, but serve and support locally," Restivo accentuates.
"Not many video manufacturers actually have their service and support teams
in place locally but we do. This makes a big difference for both our integrators
and their customers, especially on big projects."
Adding to Walin's
comments, Restivo concurs that both the channel and their customers are overwhelmed
with the variety of recently-introduced high performance hardware and software
products and systems. This complexity is causing too much confusion.
"As a
result, GVI is instituting several new service policies to our already formidable
service program, including a new service guarantee," informs Restivo. "With
it, if either a channel partner or their end user has a question about a specific
topic, they will be able to connect directly with the people in the department
that specialize in that equipment."
"This
new GVI logo represents how we are bringing a variety of programs together to
serve our existing customer channels including integrators and their end-users
in this changing world," adds Walin. "With Samsung Electronics as
our partner, we look forward to bringing to market the types of hardware surveillance
systems that customers are requesting and demanding. To them, we will add GVI
service, simplicity and integration solutions in an environmentally-friendly
manner."
