news, press | 16. April 2009 Hot topic: Security in public institutions.
Local government offices, ministries, public institutions and administrative buildings are increasingly open to the public. The desire for greater transparency and better service also results in customer-friendly layouts in foyers and customer advisory areas. However, security requirements have also increased for public institutions. Gunmen in schools are just the tip of the iceberg in this respect. Wilful damage to property, burglaries and theft are almost a daily occurrence.
Such requirements call for a sophisticated security concept for public institutions. Only an experienced supplier of security systems can ensure optimum protection, greater convenience and a lighter workload for organisations.
The security systems supplier that public authorities trust
Founded in 1919, EVVA is a long-established security systems company and one of the leading manufacturers of security system technology in Europe, in both the mechanical and electronic security system sectors. EVVA is the security systems supplier that public authorities trust. According to a recent survey in Austria, for instance, 96% of administration offices where EVVA solutions are used are very satisfied (85%) or satisfied (11%) with their system. None of the respondents were "little satisfied" or "unsatisfied" with their system.* EVVA security solutions are in heavy demand in public institutions across Europe. Such positive feedback confirms the high quality of EVVA's globally successful security products.
Criteria for optimum security systems technology in public institutions:
- Security and convenience from a single source.
EVVA is a single-source supplier: Not only mechanical locking systems, but also EVVA's XS4 electronic access control system are used the world over. In public institutions, XS4 controls exactly who enters specific areas at a specific time. Authorisations can be instantly issued - for instance, as a visitor pass - or also changed or deleted - when an employee resigns, for instance. Operating the system is child's play and very easy for all user groups. Besides mechanical and/or electronic locking systems, security concepts often include time logging and fire alarm systems.
- Integration into existing systems.
EVVA security solutions can also often be incorporated into systems currently in use. Existing escutcheons can also still be used.
- No complex, expensive wiring.
EVVA solutions are thus not only secure and convenient, they are also cost-effective and a safe, long-term investment.
- Do not forget emergency lock mechanism.
EVVA systems are equipped with a mechanical emergency lock mechanism, which is often required in buildings by the emergency services such as the fire service.
- Decades of experience, customised advisory services, globally successful products.
EVVA has been providing security technology for public institutions in Europe for decades. However, requirements are not the same everywhere you go. EVVA's customised advisory service enables different public authorities to receive the exact solution they require. This saves on unnecessary costs. EVVA security solutions can be extended at any time. Public institutions are thus also optimally equipped for future security needs.
