Catching Up with the PSIA

from David Bunzel, Executive Director, the PSIA
 
Even as we count down Punxsutawney Phil's six more weeks of winter, the PSIA is gearing up for the spring ISC West show and building on our many accomplishments last year. 

Here are just a few items on our to-do list: 

• ISC West planning is under way. Watch for developments with the new Physical-Logical Access Interoperability (PLAI) specification and other exciting announcements. 
• The PLAI Working Group is making great progress. If you haven't, do check out the white paper explaining more about this specification-in-progress.
• Our Recording and Content Management (RaCM) specification is being enhanced with the addition of a software profile. RaCM-compliant systems can easily integrate digital video data into their functions.  
• We'll also be communicating more frequently through this blog and Twitter, so please follow us at @PSIAlliance.org and use our hashtag #PSIASpecs when tweeting about security specifications and standards.

Our members’ continued support will help us surpass our 2013 achievements, which included well attended events at ISC and ASIS, the launch of the PLAI Working Group and the release of Area Control 2.0. PSIA specifications deliver superior security solutions that cost less to implement, manage and maintain. That's what users want, and the ability to deliver them adds up to a competitive advantage for security vendors compliant with PSIA specifications. That's an excellent reason to put complying with PSIA specs on your roadmap this year.
