Longtime columnist and Top 30 veteran Paul Boucherle chose 3xLogic for this distinction remarking, "customisation of ‘just what I want to know, when I want to know it’ delivered to different department decision makers adds new meaning to the concept of simple data mining and business intelligence.”

SS&I explains that what makes this award list compilation so unique, meaningful and fun is that it focuses on actual technologies and associated endeavours rather than merely products, and there is no entry process. Rather, SSI’s technical authorities objectively survey the security landscape throughout the year and pick 30 favourites from among hundreds of candidates.

What are the experts looking for? As the name implies, innovative solutions. That can best be defined as those that introduce brand-new technology or leverage existing technology to improve security contractors’ installation, service or business efficiencies; and/or enable those providers to pursue new opportunities; and/or bring enhanced features or benefits to end users.

"Of course, we’re quite pleased and proud to receive this recognition for Vigil Trends,” said Christie Walters, VP Sales and Marketing for 3xlogic. "We know, based on the number and growth of our many large retail deployments that this product is gaining wide end-user attention and accolades, but it’s always impressive when someone with Mr. Boucherle’s experience recognises the value from the many hundreds of security products on the market.”

In addition to the Top 30 Security Innovation Award, 3xlogic was recently informed that the company has also been singled out for the Best of Westminster Award in the Security Systems Services category by the Westminster, Colorado, Award Program.

This award is described as follows, "The Westminster Award Program identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These exceptional, local companies enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community.”
