FIT Optimized Solutions, which provides facilities, integration and technology that enables Tri-state businesses to get the most from their facilities, has acquired Maximum Security Systems, a specialist in closed-circuit television, digital video recording, card access, fire alarm and intrusion detection systems.
Maximum Security Systems has provided security solutions to a wide range of companies, including Citizens Bank, Showcase Cinema Theatres, Denny's, Red Lobster, Walgreen's, BCBG and Barnes & Noble.
"Our clients want to know how to use technology to control energy costs, monitor life safety and security systems, and deliver maximum comfort," said Randy Hyde, head of FIT Optimized Solutions. "With Maximum, we're able to expand our security capabilities and offer our clients the solutions they need to protect their businesses."
"The statistics for internal and external theft are staggering," said Frank Amato, a 14-year security industry veteran and president of Maximum. "According to the 2006 National Retail Security Survey, business owners in the United States lost $41.6 billion or about 1.61 percent of sales to theft and fraud in 2006. These losses can significantly reduce a company's profitability and tie up valuable resources as criminal situations are investigated."
