While the U.S. begins to pull itself out of quarantine (the New Yorker cover sums it up perfectly), we here at Security Systems News have been hearing from all facets of the industry – dealers, systems integrators, consultants, manufacturers, end users – that things are starting to open up again, as new business pipelines (bad choice of word considering the recent Colonial Pipeline incident) begin to get back to pre-pandemic levels, and better, for some.
As Eagle Eye Networks Founder and CEO Dean Drako told SSN in a recent interview, he is bullish on business for 2021, with his company posting a record quarter in terms of sales for Q1 2021.
“It appears that the U.S. is coming out of the COVID doldrums, the lockdown, as our vaccination numbers get high and people get back to a much more normal life,” Drako pointed out. “I noticed traffic kicking back up in Austin to almost normal levels, so I think what we are seeing in this first quarter of 2021 is some of that pent-up demand releasing, and I do think we are going to see more of that trend as the year progresses.”
