Micro Key Software’s Product Presentation—Millennium Series™ Modules
A Truly Integrated Solution

On Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 2:30 – 3:30pm and 3:30 – 4:30pm, Micro Key Software will present a truly integrated single-entry solution that enables high volume central stations to respond quickly to the needs of their dealers and customers. Their Millennium Series™ Modules include an embedded database with no limits on the amount of customers, receivers, or lines. Central stations can add any of their Accounting Modules and get complete functionality from a single source.


Better Relations = Better Companies

Changes in the alarm industry have created the need to interact in new ways with constituencies outside of the traditional central station arena. The CSAA Forum will explore how alarm companies can better interact with these groups.

The CSAA Forum will hold its Exhibition on Saturday, May 19 at the Event Center. The Exhibition starts at 10:00am with a presentation by our Keynote Speaker, Kevin G. Coleman, Chief Strategist / Senior Fellow from the Technolytics Institute, who will discuss "Technology-Driven Integration of Physical and Information Security." He will examine the technology advances that will drive physical alarm systems and information systems closer and that will transform the security, alarm, and information systems industries. Come see the magnitude of change we can all expect in our near future.

Coleman will also speak on Friday at 2:45pm-3:45pm on a related subject, "Alarm Systems Integration into Enterprise Security & Risk Management," that will put into context security systems and other components and how they must be integrated into an enterprise-wide security & risk management program. Specific case examples will be reviewed in functional areas such as marketing, contract workers, and information technology.

Visit our Exhibitors and have lunch from 10:30am – 2:30pm and come back from 4:30pm – 5:30pm for a Happy Hour in the Exhibit Hall.
