4 Advantages of working with an i-PRO integrator

When i-PRO was part of Panasonic the company provided not only cameras, but software and system integration services too, which put them in competition with partners. In becoming an independent company last year, i-PRO built its foundation on an ‘open policy’ -- we specialize in developing cameras. That meant rebuilding relationships with best-in-kind VMS vendors, AI analytics vendors, and most importantly, integrators. That decision has resulted in one of the most collaborative, efficient integration partner networks in the industry.

Whether you’re investigating imaging solutions for intelligent security, public safety or medical imaging, working with an i-PRO integrator helps you design, procure, launch, and maintain the best, most cost-effective security solution for your specific needs. Here are some of the advantages of working with this stellar resource.

?

Segment expertise. i-PRO selects partners with expertise in both intelligent surveillance and public safety. These organizations understand K-12 schools, healthcare, enterprise security, city surveillance, and public safety/law enforcement inside and out -- the regulations, challenges, and specific security scenarios. They guide you expertly around what your full security posture should be, ensuring you maintain best practices.

?

Product expertise. Certified i-PRO integrators match your specific needs with exactly the right i-PRO product. You can be sure that your installation and configurations will maximize the full value of your purchase and keep you compliant. We offer continual learning opportunities and resources, so i-PRO integrators are always on top of innovations and advances.

?

Ongoing, consistent relationship. Proximity matters, and local i-PRO integration partners are a continual supportive presence for our customers. The combination of market, product, and local area expertise makes sure all your bases are covered, and that you have a support system that extends from your community to i-PRO’s global organization.

?

The best of both worlds. We designed a new kind of integrator/manufacturer relationship with the launch of i-PRO. Our partners are an extension of i-PRO and we’ve designed programs to make the most of this deeper-than-most relationship so that together, we deliver faster for you. Our EZ-2 Partner Portal gives partners instant access to i-PRO inventory in real time, for quick quotes, improved turnaround times and fewer points of failure.

?

Our FlexPay Financing program lets you purchase i-PRO products along with 3rd party products and services as a single solution bundle from a single integrator, with monthly, quarterly or annual invoice options. It even offers tools to simplify the process of preparing RFPs, with a get-started guide for procurement officers. Integrators can also tap the experts driving the i-PRO Grants Program to help customers procure funding for security infrastructure projects needed to protect students, staff and schools.

?

i-PRO’s commitment to our open policy and in particular, to building a stellar integration partner network, is one of the reasons we saw double-digit growth in our first year as an independent company. We choose our partners with care and work together to constantly improve ourselves through innovation and by listening to our customers.
