North Canton, Ohio-based Diebold Inc. says it is expanding its solutions reach through the new Diebold Advanced Dealer Program.
According to a news release issued by Diebold, the program was created to engage new distribution channels and will enable precertified security dealers to provide Diebold's advanced-monitoring services. The program will expand Diebold's North American delivery network at local and regional levels, while enabling select dealers to provide new services to their customers.
Diebold Authorized Dealers can leverage Diebold's monitoring solutions, including Site Sentry Remote Video Monitoring, Site Sentry Remote Video Storage, managed-access control and energy management. Dealers also have access to Diebold's DVR health check, weather-detection notification, police-permit management and alarm monitoring. These solutions will enable end-users to enhance security, reduce workforce demands, increase efficiencies and deliver enterprise-wide return on investment.
V. John Stroia, vice president of government and monitoring solutions for the Diebold Security division, says the new program benefits dealers and customers:
The Diebold Advanced Dealer Program is mutually beneficial, providing value to Diebold, dealers and end-users. It enables us to expand our market reach, while providing dealers with solutions they haven't been able to offer. And end-users will benefit by gaining access to proven monitoring expertise, while maintaining the relationship with their existing security provider.
The Diebold Advanced Dealer Program targets high-end dealers with expertise in Internet protocol solutions. Participating dealers will not be required to sell their accounts to Diebold to participate, and the program is not intended to make existing legacy programs obsolete.
Monitoring solutions will be delivered through Diebold's Monitoring Centers in Uniontown, Ohio, and Honolulu.
