“The sales cycle for Sielox CLASS took a bit longer than traditional access solutions we’ve been successfully marketing for years into commercial and industrial markets,” said Karen Evans, President and CEO, Sielox LLC. “Ironically, but understandably, the process of introducing a new technology-driven solution into the education marketplace required Sielox to educate school security teams about the unique patented benefits CLASS provides.”

Sielox also focused on expanding their business partner sales channel with integrators already working in the education vertical market.

“With our growing network of sales professionals, we have steadily increased our visits to school municipalities and participation in educational forums across the country – and CLASS continues to receive a great response,” continued Ms. Evans. “As CLASS continues to increase in popularity and reputation, word continues to spread within the tightly knit K-12 education community as to its effectiveness as a cost-efficient daily incident and emergency notification and lockdown solution.”

CLASS is a highly-effective resource ideal for K-12 schools and other campus environments to issue alerts and manage all hazards, including daily events like missing person and medical as well as threatening situations including inclement weather and more. Innovative patented features of CLASS include real-time communication of instructions; dynamic floor plans to pinpoint areas of concern with real-time status updates, and an audit trail of all events and communications for after-action reports. Integration with access control, video surveillance, mass notification and paging systems provides the ability to use existing systems and tie those security layers together to work seamlessly in any incident or emergency.

Beyond the K-12 market, a recent deployment at a courthouse has validated how the unique CLASS software solution can dramatically improve emergency notification and response capabilities, saving time and potentially saving lives.
