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.”
