Amidst the cost of living crisis, businesses throughout the UK are seeking ways in which to reduce costs.
Whist you may think that these cost savings will come specifically from overheads such as heating and lighting, many fail to consider alternatives to their day-to-day business functions, such as security, that have the potential to significantly reduce costs.
Reducing security costs
The last decade has seen a huge transition to the cloud, and this has transformed the way in which businesses operate. Security has been no different.
Here at Anchor Group Services, we see the transition from traditional CCTV applications to cloud hosted services as a logical way forward, especially when you consider that many organisations around the world are migrating their IT infrastructure from an on-premises solution to cloud servers.
Anchor Group Services supports a range of Cloud Based CCTV & Access Control solutions, aptly named ‘eGuarding’, that can be tailored to our customer’s exacting requirements whilst adding real value; potentially saving significant cost through the reduction of physical security, preventing that loss and/or damage to property and assets, protection of brand image and not to mention the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees.
Of course, remote monitoring is only part of an effective security function. To further add to our clients’ cost savings, we provide full-service management; taking responsibility for monitoring through to response and all security requirements in between.
The added benefit of eGuarding is that it is system agnostic and will interface with multiple camera, DVR and NVR manufacturers. Practically, this means we are able to deploy a cloud-based solution, with all the benefits this brings to a customers’ existing infrastructure, avoiding the need for large capital expenditure.
How much can businesses save with eGuarding?
As part of our popular eGuarding service, Anchor has recently become an approved reseller of Eagle Eye Networks’ cloud CCTV products, that will provide clients with a scalable, secure and, of course, cost effective alternative to traditional on-site security systems.
Typically, our cloud-based solutions can save our customers more than 90% on their annual service costs when compared to traditional site-based security officers. Anchor provides a range of complimentary services to support our remote security solutions, including keyholding emergency response, lock & unlock services and vacant property inspections. Furthermore, many of our clients opt to take advantage of our Full-Service Management, which can provide a full range of functions including security, cleaning and maintenance, all managed by Anchor.
