Summit to Satisfy RMR Hungry Integrators
Security Players Divulge their Home Automation RMR Secrets
September 2, 2011 - The CE Pro 100 Summit, being held November 16-18 in Miami, FL, is covering yet another hot topic for CE integrators during its day two luncheon—recurring monthly revenue (RMR).
This year marked the first year security giant ADT applied for the CE Pro 100 and the titan debuted at #1 with more than $50 million in custom revenue. What ADT and other security-based integrators like Guardian (#2 on the list) and Vivint (formerly APX Alarm and #27 on the list) also bring to the party is recurring revenue know-how.
"Most integrators I talk to are looking to get into services that offer recurring monthly revenue or RMR," says Jason Knott, editor for CE Pro. "So, we're tackling the subject by not simply reiterating that it’s valuable; we already know that. We’ll delve into strategies for implementing and discuss lessons learned by integrators already applying powerful RMR platforms to their residential offers."
Throughout this “game changer” luncheon titled “RMR from Home Automation and its Awesome Implication for Market Penetration and Valuation,” Knott will be joined by speakers:
• Alex Dunn, COO of Vivint
• Patrick Egan, President of Select Security
• Tim McKinney Group Director of ADT
George De Marco, security industry icon and founder of the Greater Alarm Company, will moderate the session
“The Holy Grail for alarm dealers and security integrators is recurring monthly revenue or RMR, a focal point and valuation standard for the security industry,” says De Marco. “Traditional RMR is being supercharged with meaningful and useful home automation and lifestyle apps from companies like ADT, Guardian and Vivint.”
De Marco continues, “The technology paradigm shift is allowing security and custom electronics integration companies an opportunity to revolutionize the customer experience and to break-through the RMR pricing ceiling of the past, providing greater revenues and profits.”
Catch just how these companies are reaping the benefits of powerful recurring monthly revenue (RMR) on Thursday, November 17 at 12:45 pm.
