A return to quality and service will transcend the overall desire for price in the marketplace in 2015

ACT 2014/2015 Review and Forecast:

2014 has proved to be a positive year that displayed an increase in activity. The perception of an expanding U.S. economy has provided the impetus for corporate America to release capital security projects that have been held in abeyance for an exceedingly long time. Also, large-scale capital expenditures have become available for the first time.

Looking ahead in 2015, continued confidence in the economy will extend the proliferation of opportunities that become available. I believe that a return to quality and service will transcend the overall desire for price in the marketplace. This will enhance the prospects of the independent or regional integrator who has the capacity to fulfil at a consistent and high level.

Business opportunities have increased substantially, and our company has enjoyed substantial growth and profitability. The challenge as the business cycle continues to expand will be to ensure that our capacity to fulfil at a high level is not compromised by the influx of business.

The security market has been challenging over the course of the last few years as the economy has inhibited capital expenditures. As the curve tends to invert to the opposite level, there will an expansionary period for continued growth and profitability provided the integrator continues to maintain a high level of performance.
