The security market is powered by technical development and global customers demanding new types of IT based security and surveillance solutions. To achieve continued growth and a cutting-edge position, it is essential to maintain the highest possible understanding of the direction in which the industry is moving and to take advantage of new opportunities.
During the year, Axis Communications, Assa Abloy and Securitas Systems entered into a partnership with the University of Lund involving a Security Information Technology project. The aim of the partnership is to obtain an understanding of the trends in the security industry and the future of products, solutions and the roles of different players. The four-year study will involve research into new business models for the security market, the management of organizational networks and alliances, and identification of future customer needs. The research will primarily contribute to the development of methods and tools for analysts and scientists, which will aid in the understanding of future markets and services in the security industry. "The convergence of information, communication and security technology will generate new types of security services. The security industry is one of the most exciting industrial formations, and we are very pleased that we have been given the opportunity to lead this research program alongside three of the most exciting companies in the industry", say associate professors Thomas Kalling and Konrad Tollmar from the School of Business Studies at the University of Lund.
