Vision
To become a leading global supplier of integrated surveillance and security systems which are a fundamental part of our customers’ operations.
Surveillance plays a vital role in improving security and the rapid growth in networked digital and IP camera technology, coupled with the latest developments in analytic software, and advances in wireless technology are set to further expand the possibilities for the security market by reducing transmission costs and extending coverage dramatically. These technologies will deliver unprecedented levels of performance across a wide range of security and control applications worldwide.
However we believe that supplying, installing and maintaining the best security and surveillance technology systems is only part of the story. There is an increasing global need to fully integrate our systems with a wide range of other sensors and systems so that our products and services become an integral value-adding part of our customers’ everyday operations.
Market Overview
The electronic security and surveillance market is large, growing and in the process of fundamental structural change. Advances in technology have allowed digital recording, transmission, storage and networking of high resolution real-time video images to become economically viable in mainstream surveillance applications. This shift to digital technology will continue, creating substantial opportunities and threats within the rapidly changing competitive order of security systems and equipment suppliers. Quadnetics’ approach is based on certain assumptions about where these market trends are leading. We believe that:
- an understanding of information technology, transmission and networking will continue to create opportunities and ultimately be vital for success at any level;
- the market for standard hardware products will continue to commoditise;
- the market opportunity for specialised hardware products will grow and is likely to be sustainable
- the market opportunity for software will grow and is likely to be sustainable;
- security systems integrators will continue to consolidate, becoming bigger, more diverse and more global;
- information technology companies will seek and gain an increasing share of the security market;
- high integrity digital video surveillance is still sufficiently complex and demanding that it is unlikely to become simply a sub-set of the IT industry, at least not for many years;
- certain specialist customer applications requirements are likely to diverge increasingly from mainstream high volume market offerings.
Market- Focused Organisation
Quadnetics is well positioned to take advantage of these trends because of its:
- extensive experience in the technologies of digital video
- leading market positions in our chosen customer sectors
- record of successful organic growth and integration of acquisitions
- heritage of combining technology development and customer applications integration
which have created the critical mass necessary to expand globally.
Our primary objective is to build a sizeable, focussed company, with sustainable long-term growth prospects, providing integrated security and surveillance systems and managed services to specialist customer sectors.
To achieve this objective, we have reorganised the business into 4 new divisions which are targeting a small number of customer sectors whose requirements are sufficiently and sustainably different from the mainstream, and in which we can achieve a significant market share.
Strategy
Our strategy is to:
- Invest to grow our core of specialist hardware and software-based proprietary technology, adapted to the specialist needs of our target customer sectors;
- Invest to expand sales globally
- Expand the scope of applications and innovative services provided to these customers to maximise recurring revenues and market share; and
- Seek further bolt-on acquisitions to add market share, specialist capabilities and/or geographical position in our chosen sectors.
The execution of this strategy is designed to generate continuously improving security systems that deliver real and lasting competitive advantages for our customers and their businesses. This in turn creates challenging and rewarding employment opportunities.
Mission
Our goal is for Quadrant and Synectics to become the trusted brands in their key global market segments so that they become “first choice providers” of reliable and valuable security management solutions.
We have many of the industry’s acknowledged business leaders on board who safely shape and manage our activities and operations along with award-winning designers, programmers and technologists who have enabled us to achieve many patents and industry accolades.
We are proud of all of our people and invest in them through continuous personal development to ensure that Synectics products are innovative, robust and excellent value for money; truly “best of breed and Quadrant’s services are professional, dependable and cost effective; meeting or exceeding customer requirements in the most demanding or mission critical applications, truly “best of class”.
In each and every sense, where security and surveillance are involved, Quadnetics has the people, the products, the services and the track-record to be relied upon to deliver when it matters most.
