Global Excellence 2020

Acquisition International - Global Excellence 2020 109 Acquisi International - Issu 7 2020 6 Dec19110 The world of security is typically seen as full of machismo, with physical strength overriding all. For the team at MVP Tech G.T. LLC, this is untrue. Led by women and led by engineering, they’ve achieved incredible things. In this closer look at some of the winner’s in Acquisition International’s rolling series of Global Excellence Awards, we turn to 2020’s Most Influential Women in Turnkey Security Systems Integrations, Middle East to see what truly sets this firm apart. hen MVP Tech was founded in 2003, it was determined to upset the status quo in every respect. The firm has made impressive steps, transforming this world of analogue technology and closed platforms operations into something truly unique. With a forward-thinking approach, the team have been able to make great strides, bringing companies into the digital age and empowering women to reach their full potential. The team have made their name in the provision of surveillance systems, specialized security systems, cyber security solutions, access control and intercom, car park management and HVM, AV and RMS solutions and IT infrastructure. Representing an incredible number of global manufacturers from numerous companies, it’s a credit to the team that they have been able to achieve so much. At the heart of the company is their commitment to excellence and a willingness to push the boundaries and innovate. This is why the team’s “always IP” philosophy has been a boon. Thanks to this attitude, they have been able to deploy next-generation infrastructures for regional and international industry leaders. Much consideration of this approach is what has kept the team in high demand. It also helps that the team at every level is staffed with women. Their winning of Acquisition International’s award for Most Influential Women in Turnkey Security Systems Integrations in the Middle East shows this clearly. Women bring with them a competitive edge in different areas to men, namely in soft skills, better problem-solving, and building trust. It’s easy to see why this women-led business has therefore been able to stand out and succeed when placed against male-led counterparts. MVP Tech has long been a guiding light in an industry where women are often forgotten or ignored. For this team, diversity isn’t a buzzword, it’s a way of life. Inclusivity isn’t a concept to be scorned, but a way of thinking to be embraced. Some businesses don’t see how this way of thinking affects the bottom line, but placing women in a high number of roles, especially leadership roles, has been the making of MVP Tech. The team’s success, therefore, is not surprising. On a technical level, too, they have always been first on the scene when it comes to new developments. MVP Tech was one of the first businesses to receive Dubai Police-approval on an IP Surveillance system when the standards were written against analogue technologies, as well as being one of the earliest adopters of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate W Bringing the Future to Today Recognition) technology in the region. This is now one of the standards that security firms must comply with. Looking forward, it’s no surprise that the team has been experimenting with the possibilities of AI, and video analytics. Much of this work does not involve gathering more data but finding new ways in which to analyze and explore what is already to hand. The real-world applications of these technologies, in both private and public sectors, is crucial to MVP Tech moving forward and to the security industry as a whole. The reason for this is because MVP Tech sees the future of security as something that takes a very different form to what is currently available. Instead of operating essentially independent systems, security will take the form of hyper-connected and fully automated entities, able to operate across territories. These entities will be able to respond to human behavioral traits without human intervention, thus increasing the level of productivity and efficiency exponentially. An approach that encourages diversity, with new perspectives and ideas, is what boosts inventiveness and encourages the pursuit of new information. This has been the secret of success for MVP Tech. Moving forward, not just from a technological perspective, but from a sociological one as well, has allowed the team to achieve amazing things. It has solidified their place in the security sector for a long time to come. MVP Tech G.T.
