ALL ASSET TECHNOLOGY NEEDS MANAGED

We have found that municipalities struggle to manage all of their technology assets across a city. How does store personnel decide who to call when something happens to the technology? How do technology issues affect the constituents or public safety? We answer these questions with a fixed monthly cost that takes care of all technology issues.

ION247 is a perfect fit for municipalities looking for cost-effective ways to control access to secure or public areas. ION247 Software as a Service (SaaS) offering gives municipalities a way to manage multiple locations from a single account; while working within constraints acceptable to IT departments. With video fully integrated into the hosted access control solution, cities have an option for affordable video, easily deployed in one location or thousands.
