Gallagher: Changing the Commercial Security Industry with QuickSwitch

By Gina Stuelke, CEO of Kenton Brothers

Is the cost and time of upgrading your security system holding you back? You might want to know about Gallagher QuickSwitch.

QuickSwitch gives businesses a streamlined, simplified pathway to migrate from legacy access control systems to Gallagher’s world-class commercial security solution. True to its name, installation is fast, reducing labor costs and minimizing disruptions typical of a complex migration process. Most importantly, QuickSwitch helps businesses mitigate risks associated with legacy systems, creating peace of mind through a platform that unlocks greater value.

With three variants, each covering multiple boards, businesses are empowered to make the switch from a multitude of systems. In significantly less time than a traditional migration, and for a fraction of the cost, businesses looking to make a change can be on their way toward unlocking more from their security systems.

An interview with the Gallagher team helps to define what this innovative solution can do for access control:

“What makes QuickSwitch special is that it’s pure Gallagher I/O, so you get that rock-solid Gallagher reliability, but with industry-familiar form factor and shape,” explains Jeff Ogborn, Senior Solutions Engineer. “Our approach gives us the ability to have multiple different looking I/O running on the same software headend, offering unmatched reliability. We’ve also upgraded the tech inside and given it a cool Gallagher orange look.”

Dave Solly, Product Manager, details what that value looks like and calls QuickSwitch a shortcut to accessing a long list of Gallagher’s industry-leading solutions.

“Gallagher Security has been at the forefront of security innovation for nearly 40 years,” Solly explains. “QuickSwitch not only gives businesses immediate access to our market-leading solutions, it also gives people access to a team of experts who genuinely believe in customer centricity. That means decades of experience delivering full-scale support on top of solutions that increase efficiency and productivity. QuickSwitch is a direct portal to all of that and a lot more.”

Ogborn agrees and takes it one step further:

“Gallagher’s QuickSwitch program tackles the biggest problem in the industry: cost. Channel Partners find changing systems too expensive, and ‘rip and replace’ is a no-go. End Users also struggle with the time and cost to convert, including hardware, business downtime, and overall TCO. We understand the issue and have an answer. Getting the full story – hardware, application, and database extraction – is a must for anyone who has an interest and needs the full benefit.”
