Dennis Raefield

Dennis Raefield joins Edge integration systems in April as its president. Mr. Raefield was formerly the division president of Honeywell's access systems group, growing its Northern and NexWatch access control brands to over 300 employees worldwide. After that, Mr. Raefield was the president of Rosslare Security Products, and president and CEO of Ortega InfoSystems, Inc. He was also the president and CEO of Omega Corporate Security, a leading systems integrator sold to Pinkerton (now Securitas).

In his position at Edge Integration, Raefield will focus on bringing Edge's hosted web-based access control solution called the Edge Access Control System (Edge ACS) to retail, fast food, commercial property management, and other multi-location organizations needing distributed management of their access control systems. Edge Integration is offering a unique solution to the traditional access control industry, allowing systems integrators and their end users to remotely manage their access control systems without head-end software and the need for dedicated PC's and security infrastructure. The system can also be configured like an alarm panel to route signals to a central station.

"Edge is the first major breakthrough in traditional access control," states Raefield "I have never seen such an end-to-end solution in my 30+ years of access control experience. This product is exciting, stable, and offers the functionality of an enterprise level system to small and medium-sized users worldwide. The 'managed access' service offering available to systems integrators will forever change how they view and sell access control"

"We are excited to have Dennis join our team and guide us over the hurdles to success in the security industry. We look forward to the Edge ACS's further penetration of markets whose users who can benefit from having remotely managed access control at their dispersed facilities" states Glenn Forrester, CEO, Edge.
