McLEAN, Va. — Security Sales & Integration and The Monitoring Association (TMA) have extended the deadline to enter the third annual TMA/SSI Monitoring Technology Marvel Award to April 17.

The Marvel Award is co-sponsored by SSI and TMA and coordinated by the TMA Technology Committee. The objective of the Marvel is to provide recognition for the creation and/or implementation of cutting-edge technology that offers new levels of efficiencies in processes or introduces innovative new services to customers.

“I urge firms bringing the latest monitoring innovations to their operations or customers to participate in the Technology Marvel Award program,” says SSI Editor-in-Chief/Associate Publisher Scott Goldine.

He continues, “The only investment necessary is a few minutes to enter, and the potential huge payoff includes recognition at a top trade show, in-depth printed and electronic coverage in a leading security publication, a handsome award to show off to customers and prospects, and an enormous morale boost and injection of pride companywide.”
