Alert: New Junior PM in Training! Teddie Joseph is already hard at work, although he does tend to fall asleep on the job. He's learning the ropes from grandpa Joe Christie, one of our Cincinnati Project Managers.

Let's give a warm welcome to Kyler Allen, our new Project Manager on the National Accounts team!

[Integrated Protection Services @IPSFireSecurity]

If you have a traditional on-premise access control system, always keep your software service agmts and licenses active with your service provider. Or, choose an IPS Managed Security Services plan and we’ll take care of it for you! Smarter. Faster. Better.

IPS is now a @TIPSCooperative Awarded Vendor for Technology Services! What does this mean? Quicker jumpstarts on projects for our customers!

If you use federal money for a project, you can apply to use TIPS and skip the bid process because IPS has already been vetted by TIPS.

Regularly check your security system for faulted points. This way, the building can be closed and armed without having to bypass alarm points due to troubles.
