Challenges: A leap towards enhanced monitoring

IDS always set their eyes on the horizon, seeking ways to grow. The idea was to launch a new, top-tier monitoring service that unifies flawlessly with the high-tech alarm.com devices their clients’ trust. IDS needed a partner who could understand the language of advanced and complex alarm system installations. The new alarm management system compatibility with alarm.com devices was also crucial to ensure a successful launch. 

After thorough research and influenced by strong recommendations, IDS identified evalink as the ideal partner for this new service. evalink's expertise and compatibility with alarm.com devices made them a clear choice, aligning perfectly with IDS's goal of enhancing its monitoring service to serve its clients better. 

Solution: Customized, web-based, and user-friendly monitoring system

The evalink team immersed themselves in understanding the specific needs of IDS, diving into key operational details. We collaborated closely with IDS to identify which alerts were most critical and how to make the monitoring process more efficient. This partnership led to creating of a custom monitoring system uniquely designed to combine evalink's technical expertise with the specific requirements of IDS. 

evalink was pivotal in launching this service by supplying a user-friendly alarm management system that seamlessly integrates with the alarm.com security solution. This integration was immediate, requiring no additional coding, and featured intuitive workflow builders. 

Beyond just setting up the system, evalink also focused on equipping IDS’s team with the necessary skills to use the new system effectively. They conducted comprehensive training sessions, which were a crucial investment in the professional development of IDS's staff, ensuring they were adept at managing the complexities of the new system. 

As a result, IDS now leverages evalink's technology for alarm monitoring through a unified, web-based system. The evalink platform allows IDS to manage its operations from any location, significantly enhancing its responsiveness and agility. 

Advanced redundancy features offered by evalink also lifted IDS's worry about local storage. Data is supported by multiple servers, which enhances the technology’s reliability. This also means that users don’t have to deal with the complexities of storage, as data is stored safely and remotely.
