Project Management Software is a Finalist in Security and Fire Excellence Awards 2016

FOUR Group was a finalist in two categories of the 2016 Security and Fire Excellence awards, for SECURITY PARTNERING INITIATIVE OF THE YEAR and CONTRIBUTION TO STANDARDS IN THE SECURITY SECTOR. 

The Security Partnering Initiative recognised the Group’s five year relationship with Marks & Spencer’s Corporate Security division, which was established to look at the best way to manage an extensive Core Investment Programme of works across M&S’s existing portfolio of stores - covering Access, CCTV and Intruder systems. 



The Security Partnering Initiative recognised the Group’s five year relationship with Marks & Spencer’s Corporate Security division, which was established to look at the best way to manage an extensive Core Investment Programme of works across M&S’s existing portfolio of stores - covering Access, CCTV and Intruder systems. 
Under the initiative, the Group’s FOURSITE division has jointly developed an IM system called IAP (Intelligent Asset Protection). IAP compliments FOURSITE’s online programme and property management system. It generates analytics to support key decision-making around the actual requirement/need, prioritisation of works, directing investment to where it is needed most, the timing, cost and ROI.
IAP records security equipment in use, captures security management information and enables M&S to undertake detailed analysis, for example, tracking losses against security measures in force, by store and region, as well as analysing losses against factors such as security spend, demographics and crime statistics.

Clint Reid, M&S’s Head of Corporate Security says:
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with FOUR Group and excited about the potential improvements in analysis, management intelligence and ROI that FOURSITE’s Intelligent Asset Protection model will bring.”

Director of FOURSITE, Matt Cayton, comments:
“IAP is gaining traction within the retail and construction sectors, in particular, and we are delighted that its development has been recognised by this prestigious award.”

Project and programme reporting using conventional business tools, such as Excel, can place your organisation at risk

Are conventional business tools, such as Excel, placing your organisation at risk?
We know the importance of accurate reporting, the implications of getting it wrong can be hugely costly. Conventional methods using standard business tools, such as Excel, have a valuable place and purpose but its inability to control access, distribution and versioning has always been a challenge. As a result, project teams spend huge amounts of time trying to collate and make sense of this information. Not only is this inefficient and costly but it also allows for human error. Excel requires lots of manual data entry, which creates mistakes and issues within the files. Documents often get updated and saved with a date and version number, then emailed to someone else to do the same.  Due to this, problems often develop and are compounded with issues, such as; Version controlPasting over formulasChange control / audit logSingle user accessHidden columnsFiltered rangesSize limitationsSecurity protocols &…
