Casino System Leaves Nothing to Chance by Robert Grossman,
Security Sales & Integration, September
2007
--
The video surveillance installation
at Odawa Casino, located near the waters of Lake Michigan in Petoskey,
Mich., was such a project. The design included two control rooms and
auxiliary monitoring locations, encompassing a new casino, parking
structure, special events area and a remote waste water treatment plant. All
of it secured with full integration between video, access control and other
gaming systems. While I’d like to say I was pleasantly surprised, all of us
involved with this project genuinely knew it would succeed from the start. |

Kick Off the Road to Success With a Meeting of the Minds by Robert Grossman, Security Sales & Integration,
April
2007 --
Most people agree that communication
is a major element behind the success of any team effort. The importance of
everyone understanding their participation in the CCTV project — functioning
as a team — and focusing on moving the project to a successful completion is
as universally praised as motherhood and apple pie.
However, the mechanics of ensuring
this happens is often left to chance or ignored until there’s a problem. A
key element for ensuring success on a given project is the project kickoff
meeting. |

professional or expert advice.” But, with that definition, isn’t just about
everyone a consultant? |
