WHY DO YOU NEED A VENDOR'S PERMISSION TO MANAGE YOUR NETWORK?

Did you ever notice that when you ask vendors if they can support non-standard equipment, they almost always say, “Why would you want to do that?”

Pardon my French, but that's a B.S. attitude. I'm committed to giving you perfect fit solutions — alarm systems that support all your equipment and give you 100% visibility of your network.

If it takes custom engineering to make your perfect fit solution, my Engineering Team has the tools, the smarts and the can-do attitude to make it work. Bottom line — if you call DPS, you'll be partnered with people who care about solving your problems as much as you do.

Cheers!

P.S. The Protocol will not be published the week of December 27-31, because I hope you'll be out of the office and with your family. Have a great holiday, and I'll talk to you in 2005.
