The judging committee: Paul Boucherle, principal, Matterhorn Consulting, and SSI‘s “Business Fitness” columnist ; Tony Byerly, executive vice president, electronic security, Diebold Inc.; Bob Dolph, SSI‘s “Tech Talk” columnist; Peter Giacalone, president, Giacalone Associates, and SSI‘s “Monitoring Matters” contributing columnist; Eric Yunag, president and CEO, Dakota Security Systems, and a member of is SSI‘s editorial advisory board.
