The ISI Advantage
What sets ISI apart from the rest?
Diagnostic Solutions Approach:
ISI does not believe in standardizing solutions for each market we engage with. We approach all our engagements uniquely. We work diligently to understand the client’s needs before we take additional steps in providing standards and policies to support their organization.
Unified Specifications:
Our experience in providing both mechanical and electronic solutions helps us understand how they interface. We can provide leadership to the security design process because we understand the benefit of breaking down the silos between division 8 and 28.
Life-Cycle Engagement Model:
Our life-cycle approach to engagement allows us to fully understand the challenges and regulations within each client environment. We formulate long term value partnerships with our clients so that we can be the best resource for their security needs.
Adoption of Lean Management & 6 Sigma Principles:
Through our Lean Management initiatives we have adopted a unique project management approach, which is unparalleled in our industry. By assigning a dedicated Solutions Engineer to your project from initial needs assessment through training, we can assure a cohesive, complete and thoroughly managed deployment.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Using Revit® by Autodesk®:
By incorporating BIM work flow into all our projects and utilizing Revit® for all our system documentation and as-built drawings, we can help reduce costly change orders to the Divisions 8 & 28 portion of any project.

Case Study: Consulting Services:
North Kingstown School District
ISI was engaged by North Kingstown School District to perform a district wide security assessment. The assessment included a complete review and analysis of existing conditions at each school, interviews with each school's principal exploring procedures and concerns and interviews with the local law enforcement.
The deliverable included pre-design and budgetary figures for access control, video surveillance, public address, alarm systems, communications, emergency lockdown and door hardware solutions to improve the physical security of the district’s schools. ISI presented new and enhanced procedures to the North Kingstown School District.

Dudley Square Municipal Building
The future home of the Boston Public School administration. ISI provided design and specification services for access control, burglar and video surveillance systems.
Because ISI was involved early in the design process, we were able to protect the client's district wide security systems from substitutions and we ensured their existing systems were expanded into this project. ISI continues to respond to RFIs and has begun punch list process as this project is in the construction phase.

University of Massachusetts at Amherst
The University of Massachusetts Amherst Physical Plant Lock Shop secures and protects approximately 6.5 million square feet of assignable space and processes 4,000 work requests each year. The university publicly requested a proposal for consultative services to address their aging key systems, an expired patent protected keyway and access control procedures.
ISI is providing leadership and experience to the process of examining the current situation of the various keying systems on campus as well as the multiple access control systems that were not integrated. ISI is also reviewing personnel roles and responsibilities and aligning methodical and lean processes to the lock shop functions. ISI's services will include specification for keying standards with budgeting and an implementation plan, a creation of policies and procedures, project management for implementation of changes and documentation captured in Revit.

Fitchburg State University: Hammond Hall
Hammond Hall is the living room of the Fitchburg State campus. Home to the library, game room, The North Street Bistro, the bookstore and the Falcon Hub, ISI was hired to work directly with the architect to develop the access control and asset protection specifications for the five phase Hammond Hall renovation project at Fitchburg State University.
ISI wrote the division 28 specification documents and produced all phases of plans utilizing Revit in the architect’s central project file. ISI influenced the product installed for tight integration across disciplines because of early collaboration with the door hardware specifier.
