Why choose RMR? (Part 2)

For dealers, integrators and installers interested in offering a cloud-based service that leverages an RMR business model, there can be significant value for both them and their customers.

However, it’s essential to have a clear picture of what’s required to build this kind of model. Vanderbilt is dedicated to providing partners with the information and support they need to deliver these solutions.

The future of RMR as a whole will depend on a number of factors, with the most important being the type of systems and solutions involved. And as long as cloud-based technologies are at the forefront of the security industry, it is likely that integrators will continue to desire the ability to add more value to their offerings through a recurring monthly service agreement.
