Many companies prefer to develop their own proprietary applications to meet their client’s user requirements where they can also benefit from recurring revenue in maintaining their own proprietary application. Instead of developing complex and proprietary software applications, ISSI solutions meet client requirements by applying necessary “custom configuration” to an already existing COTS product that we pick from amongst commercially available applications developed by highly reputable manufacturers that we deem appropriate to meet those requirements.
If the selected COTS product fails to meet certain customer requirements, we identify the exact use cases and work in conjunction with the product manufacturer to add those features as part of their base product enhancements.
ISSI’s approach to delivering Turnkey solutions while meeting client requirements with COTs products, reduces the total cost of ownership for security system’s lifecycle, allows for smoother integration between different security systems, and makes these enhancements globally available to the rest of the industry.
As part of our turnkey solution, we provide proper user training to increase user confidence in deploying the newly adopted system and extensive administrator training that enables the organization to utilize their own engineering resources in system maintenance if desired by the system owners. The overall approach by ISSI eliminates the need to secure our services in maintaining the system or any proprietary code.
We also provide a comprehensive analysis of the total cost of ownership for the security systems we provide, including the cost of annual maintenance.

- Requirement gathering and design
