Global Electronic Access Control Systems Market to Reach US$6.0 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 11, 2011

Despite the popular perception that ever-present safety & security needs and rising crime rates, which interestingly tend to escalate during periods of economic downturn, make electronic access control systems market recession proof, the market ironically has shown signs of marked weakening in the midst of steady deterioration in business climate. With most key end-use sectors i.e. banking, financial services, retail (malls, multiplexes), IT sector, construction, and hospitality (hotels & restaurants) collapsing like a pack of cards, growth patterns have been largely distorted. The forced delay in launch of new retail projects such as malls, chain retailers and franchise outlets, as a result of distortions in economic variables, such as, drying up of debt markets, lack of capital investments, and deep corporate budgets cuts, have eroded market opportunities for EACS.

The meltdown of the construction industry, as reflected in the general weakness in new office, commercial and residential building projects, rising vacancy rates, construction delays and sharp falls in the number of applications for new building permits, and government scaling back of infrastructure-related projects have also played instrumental roles in negatively impacting new equipment order influx rates for EACS. For instance, although a very valuable addition to security infrastructure, the importance of electronic access control systems has temporarily been overshadowed as building owners focus squarely on surviving the crisis. In addition, widespread postponements, cancellation of upgradation security projects and delays in scheduled system replacements in existing facilities, have resulted in sharp declines in replacement demand.

However, a transient disruption in the economic climate like the recent recession is not likely to leave an indelible mark on the market, as prevention of authorized access and detection of perpetrators will always remain vital in the overall security arrangements. Although the tough economic climate has squeezed new orders for EACS, the focus on safety and security among organizations, government agencies and general public continues to remain unchanged, as security coverage is closely tied to safety of human life and asset protection in infrastructure facilities and residential and commercial centers.

With recession now at its tail end, the market will witness a quick resurgence of demand fundamentals, such as increase in commercial and residential building construction, improvements in disposable spends, and increase in infrastructure investments, which will help drive the EACS market in the post recession period. Growth in the market, which was hitherto frustrated by capital shortages, reduced personnel, and unemployment, is forecast to rebound as liquidity issues and financial hardships begin to ease. Technology developments such as development of more advanced, and higher value access control systems and efforts to integrate new advanced features and capabilities such as hybrid and wireless installations to the already installed access control systems, will also generate substantial demand for EACS market over the next few years.

As stated by the new market research report, US continue to remain the largest regional market. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing regional market waxing at a CAGR of about 3.7% over the analysis period. Growth in this market will be essentially driven by factors such as fast paced economic development in emerging countries such as China and India, increase in foreign investments, rise in the number of new business establishments and increase in crime rates. By product, Card-Based Electronic Access control systems market continues to be the largest product segment, holding a lions share of the global market. Smart cards represent the largest revenue contributor to the card-based EACS market. Audio and Video-Based Electronic Access Control Systems market is the fastest growing product segment, waxing at a CAGR of about 6.8% over the analysis period

Major players in the marketplace include Aiphone Co. Ltd., ASSA ABLOY AB, BIO-key, International Inc., DigitalPersona Inc, Gunnebo Ab, Hirsch Electronics Corporation, Honeywell Access Systems, Ingersoll Rand Recognition Systems Inc., Linear LLC, Imprivata

Veros Platforms Named on UCDP Vendor List; Ready to Support Industry

Posted on by

(Vocus/PRWEB) April 15, 2011

Veros Real Estate Solutions (Veros), an industry leader in enterprise risk management and collateral valuation services, has announced that its VeroSELECT and Valuation Risk Management (VRM) platforms are fully functional and ready to help lenders in all aspects of ordering, managing and delivering appraisals through the Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP). Additionally, they will accept and process appraisals compliant with the Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD). These initiatives are part of the GSEs Uniform Mortgage Data Program (UMDP), a strategy to standardize and drive data quality to benefit the entire mortgage industry.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) announced Wednesday that UCDP will be live on June 27, 2011. According to the GSEs, appraisal report forms for all conventional mortgage loans delivered on or after March 19, 2012, must be submitted to the UCDP before the delivery date of the mortgage if the loan application is dated on or after Dec. 1, 2011 and an appraisal report is required. Veros and its related platforms have been named as approved solutions that enable the submission of electronic appraisal data to UCDP.

The key to a good experience with UCDP is for lenders to get on board early and not wait until March 2012 to begin utilizing the program, said Chris Gowen, sales vice president at Veros. There is significant pre-work that needs to be accomplished in order to meet all GSE requirements. Having access to the system now provides opportunity for the necessary internal testing and process changes lenders need to work through to ensure smoothly running operations and on-time compliance with this mandate.

VeroSELECT and VRM have been finely tuned and are ready to help lenders quickly and efficiently navigate UCDP for a successful outcome. These platforms were built to provide precise functionality in valuation risk management, as well as manage the entire collateral valuation process from start to finish.

Participants will be able to utilize UCDP through a web-based portal to upload and browse files, or they can connect via a vendor provided solution, such as VeroSELECT and VRM. According to Gowen, vendor integration is a smart option for lenders and their designated agents concerned about loan volume and looking to automate their processes, as well as for lenders looking to add risk management capabilities to their workflow through the addition of analytics or automated reviews.

The GSEs will provide job aids, training programs and other resources to help lenders learn the system over the next few weeks. These tools can be accessed directly from the GSEs respective websites.

Veros is a significant provider of property valuation analytics, including automated valuation models (AVMs), automated fraud and risk analytics, as well as future value forecasting for the real estate and mortgage industry. Veros is also a leading provider of automated valuation and risk management solutions offering platforms managing the entire spectrum of collateral valuation products while simultaneously monitoring workflow for compliance.

Veros was selected in 2010 by the GSEs as the technology provider to build, support and maintain the UCDP platform, which provides the electronic appraisal data delivery to the organizations.

Vermonts Captive Insurance Industry Celebrates 30th Anniversary. Captive Insurance Law Signed in 1981

Posted on by


Montpelier, VT (PRWEB) June 08, 2011

The 30th anniversary of the signing of Vermonts captive insurance legislation will be celebrated in Burlington led by Governor Peter Shumlin at a reception in the historic Union Station on Burlingtons waterfront. The event is co-hosted by the State of Vermont and the Vermont Captive Industry Association (VCIA). Former Governor Jim Douglas will also be in attendance for the event.

I am delighted to invite the captive insurance industry to join us in celebrating three decades of service that has resulted in Vermonts leadership position as a domicile, said Governor Shumlin. Governors and legislatures since the signing of the law have come together to support this industry, and I am pleased that former governor Jim Douglas will join me on this special occasion.

Vermonts captive insurance law has been called the gold standard by trade press for its consistency in keeping pace with the changing needs of the industry over the past thirty years and it has been used by other domiciles as a model of regulation. Captive insurance is a regulated form of self insurance that has existed since the 1960s and has been a part of the Vermont insurance industry since 1981, when Vermont passed the Special Insurer Act. Captive insurance companies are formed by companies or groups of companies as a form of alternative insurance to better manage their own risk.

Captives are typically used for corporate lines of insurance such as property, general liability, products liability, or professional liability. Growth sectors of the captive insurance industry include securitization, professional medical malpractice coverage for doctors and hospitals, and the continued trend of small and mid-sized companies forming captive insurance companies.

The 30th anniversary Vermont captive insurance event will be held on Wednesday, June 22 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in downtown Burlington’s historic Union Station. Sponsors of the event include Primmer Piper Eggleston & Cramer PC, Paul Frank + Collins Attorneys at Law, and Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC.

Vermont is the largest captive insurance domicile in the U.S. and the third largest in the world, with an excess of $ 25 billion in gross written premium in 2010. Vermont is also home to 42 of the companies that make up the Fortune 100 and 18 of the companies that make up the Dow 30.

Captive Insurance Industry Experts Continue to Weigh In on Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act: No Captive Insurance Impact

Posted on by


Montpelier, VT (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

The McIntyre White Paper Report on the new federal Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act (NRRA), part of the recently passed Dodd Frank Act, continues to garner agreement among captive insurance industry experts concluding that the law has no applicability to captive insurance. The white paper was prepared by the law firm of McIntyre and Lemon, PLLC of Washington, DC.

The McIntyre Report gives a convincing explanation of why captive insurance is not part of NRRA, said Tom Jones, partner with McDermott Will & Emery LLP in Chicago. The intent of NRRA appears to have been solely on surplus lines and never meant to include captive insurance, he added.

Skip Myers is the Managing Partner with Morris Manning & Martin, LLP in Washington, DC, Although this legislation was intended by Congress to create uniformity in the surplus lines market, the actions of the states have had the opposite effect. The legislative history is clear that Congress never intended this legislation to affect any insurance other than surplus lines, said Myers.

There is considerable misinformation circulating regarding NRRA, said Daniel Towle, Vermonts Director of Financial Services. Certain states are using this as an opportunity to try to domicile captives in their state. It is a disservice to the industry that some states are using this tactic in an attempt to leverage new business. We strongly recommend seeking factual documentation for such assertions to avoid costly and unnecessary consequences.

As legal experts weigh in on NRRA, industry accountants are now voicing their professional assessment on the laws application to captive insurance. We dont believe it applies to captive insurers. We are advising clients to sit tight as further guidance will be forthcoming, said Gary Bowers, CPA, and Tax Partner with Johnson Lambert & Company LLP. Bowers goes on to state, Captives are not surplus lines writers, and we believe NRRA was intended to only affect surplus lines writers.

We concur with the reasoning and conclusion reached in the McIntyre White Paper that NRRA should not apply to captive insurance companies, said Dan Kusaila, CPA, and Tax Partner with Saslow Lufkin & Buggy, LLP. NRRA did not create any new taxes and we are recommending a wait and see approach to our clients, said Kusaila.

The McIntyre White Paper went to great lengths to analyze Congressional legislative intent, concluding that the focus of the bill was for surplus lines of insurance. Based on this analysis and the language of the NRRA itself, the white paper concludes both that (1) captive insurers should not be subject to the NRRAs nonadmitted insurance provisions because they are not placing nonadmitted insurance within the meaning of the NRRA and (2) the NRRA did not change the application of state independently procured insurance laws, nor should it restrict the collection of premium taxes paid for independently procured insurance to the home state of the insured, as it does for nonadmitted insurance. The white paper can be read in its entirety at http://www.VermontCaptive.com/DoddFrank.

A consortium of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association, the Captive Insurance Companies Association and the National Risk Retention Association also agreed with the McIntyre White Paper.

Captive insurance is a regulated form of self insurance that has existed since the 1960s, and has been a part of the Vermont insurance industry since 1981, when Vermont passed the Special Insurer Act. Captive insurance companies are formed by companies or groups of companies as a form of alternative insurance to better manage their own risk.

Posted on by

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn – Controlling access and preventing unauthorized entry is the key to ensuring against theft, sabotage, and vandalism. And electronic access controls, in this regard, is an omnipresent requirement for people from all walks of life, including the common man, employees, business owners, and most importantly building owners. Rise in terrorist attacks, vandalism, campus violence, and the resulting need for personal safety and security at public places such as transits, city centers, educational institutions, as well as borders have been driving the installation of electronic security systems at these places and facilities for preventing unauthorized access, ensuring remote surveillance, recording and reporting unruly incidents, and identification of culprits. Although, the government sector continues to remain the largest end-use market for electronic security systems, generating a major portion of value sales for electronic security systems (ESS) market, commercial establishments and households have also been increasing their ESS implementations over the last few years, due to heightened perceived threat of criminal activity and terrorism.

Although the tough economic climate squeezed new orders for electronic access control systems, the focus on safety and security among organizations, government agencies and general public will continue to remain unchanged in the post recession period, as security coverage is closely tied to safety of human life, and infrastructure facilities in residential and commercial centers. Growth in the market, which was hitherto frustrated by capital shortages, reduced personnel, and unemployment, will continue to rebound as liquidity issues and financial hardships begin to ease. Though developed markets such as Europe and North America have been the traditional revenue contributors in the market, developing markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America and Middle East are expected to turbo-charge future growth.

As stated by the new market research report on Electronic Access Control Systems, US continue to remain the largest regional market. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing regional market, with value sales of EACS in the region waxing at a CAGR of about 13.5% over the analysis period. By product, Card-Based Electronic Access Control Systems continues to be the largest product segment. Biometrics-Based Electronic Access Control Systems is the fastest growing product segment, waxing at a CAGR of about 13.1% over the analysis period. Future growth of biometrics in access control is forecast to stem from globalization, emerging economies, mobility, spurt in number of mobile devices and trusted access. Moreover, growing value for concepts such as eGovernment, digital identity, and cloud computing, among others are likely to drive the demand for cutting-edge biometric technologies.

The Collingwood Group to Conduct First Mortgage Industry Conference Call

Posted on by

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

The Collingwood Group (Collingwood) is pleased to introduce its new offering — a series of industry conference calls — which will begin with a February 9, 2012 call entitled FHA Enforcement: Myths, Misconceptions and Facts. This call series comes as a result of Collingwoods launch of its new Risk Management and Compliance Division, established with its January 1, 2012 acquisition of GWN Consulting, LLC (GWN), a firm specializing in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Ginnie Mae risk management and quality control.

Collingwoods Risk Management and Compliance Division staff brings to the organization extensive FHA and Ginnie Mae knowledge and experience, and plans to share information on an ongoing basis with Collingwood clients and other industry colleagues. As part of this effort, the team will launch a series of educational conference calls, beginning with the first call FHA Enforcement: Myths, Misconceptions and Facts focusing on FHA Enforcement, Quality Assurance and Inspector General reviews and the Mortgagee Review Board. The call, offered at no cost to participants, will be held on February 9, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The call will be led by Collingwood Group Chairman and former FHA Commissioner Brian Montgomery, who will moderate a discussion between Karen Garner, Collingwood Group Managing Director and former HUD compliance manager and GWN Principal, and David Hintz, former Secretary to the HUD Mortgagee Review Board. It will also serve as an introduction to the services that the Risk Management and Compliance Division will offer.

Additional calls will be held moving forward, covering potential topics such as FHA Loss Mitigation tools, Ginnie Mae compliance reviews, and compliant and effective quality control plans.

This is a critical time for lenders and servicers struggling with compliance, litigation and claims management issues related to their FHA and Ginnie Mae operations, said Montgomery. The experience, insight, and relationships of our new Risk Management and Compliance Division staff can provide substantial information that will be helpful to these organizations in developing proactive, preventative activities in their compliance efforts.

The expansion of Collingwoods offerings and this call could not be more timely, given the issuance of the press release by Acting FHA Commissioner Carol Galante announcing changes to FHA authority for the lender insurance program and standards for indemnification requests. (Follow this link to the press release issued by HUD: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2012/HUDNo.12-010)

With FHA toughening its standards, rules and penalties, and with volume that has grown to historically high levels, lenders and issuers can reasonably expect corresponding increases in the level of FHA audit, enforcement actions, and penalties. The goal of Collingwoods Risk Management and Compliance Division is to assist its clients with capabilities that now include FHA and Ginnie Mae lender/issuer applications and re-certifications, preparation and responses to audits or reviews, origination or servicing compliance and best practices, claims management and recoveries, program manuals and operating guides, and development of written and program training.

Garner is proud of the new divisions capabilities, saying, With our upcoming conference call series and new services, we are confident that we can provide substantial assistance to lenders and servicers as they focus on quality control activities that will enable them to proactively monitor performance and mitigate risk.

Global Securities Industry Stages a Cautious Comeback Amidst Uncertainties, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Posted on by

San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Major financial institutions including banks are using securitization as the preferred forms of funding, thus driving up the size of the global securitization sector. Many investors are investing in hedge funds, and specialist Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) funds, leading to the fast growth of the segment in recent years. Growing acceptance of consumer debt and consumer lending of money in the developing regions is boosting the issuance of securities by major financial institutions. Moreover, strong economic growth and growth of mortgage markets in these regions is further driving up the securities sector. The securities industry is extremely competitive and cyclical in nature, resulting in extensive revenue fluctuations in brokerage earnings in tune with transaction volumes in major stock exchanges. Security companies emphasize on value added services, including agency services for mutual funds and unit trusts in an effort to withstand market fluctuations, control operational costs and spread out the income sources. Financial enterprises are required to now align risk management, performance measurement and capital planning activities to make certain that performance measures and capital structure support the overall organizational strategy.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), now widely known as toxic assets, which brought down the US economy and along with it the world economy, resulting in the long drawn 2007-2009 world recession, is currently witnessing decline. Investors worldwide have cut down their purchases of mortgage-backed debt largely as a result of broken confidence in the integrity of the credit and financial system and the ensuing unwillingness among private financial institutions to support lending. Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) have lost momentum in the global financial markets, following the massive levels of write-downs at financial institutions during the years 2007 & 2008.

The business environment in the global securities industry although recovering from the impact of the global economic recession still stands threatened by the uncertain economic scenarios in the developed economies. The overshadowing concerns over the European debt crisis continue to remain a major dampener and with uncertainties running high, market participants are bracing for a possible slowdown. Cheap bonds focused on safe spread industries are forecast to witness the maximum uptake among investors. Continuing to lose flavor will be sovereign securities not backed by the full faith of the issuing government, given the lower levels of guarantee and higher risks of fluctuations in value. In 2011, global corporate bond issues fell steeply due to fears of sovereign debt crisis in certain European economies such as Portugal, and Greece, and the resulting flight to safety of investors fuelled a significant increase in cost of borrowing. The increased focus on capital preservation led to a decline in US corporate and junk bond offerings, as well as widening of bond spreads.

Global fund managers have been expanding into emerging markets to boost profits in the face of weaker dollar earnings. Among the BRIC countries comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, Private Equity (PE) investors consider India and China as ideal destinations for funding opportunities. With strong financial market position in comparison to the Western economies, the Asian currency market is likely to represent a far safer investment haven. In addition to India and China, growth in PE investment is also forecast to grow in Brazil with the scheduled 2014 World Cup poised to create ample opportunities for infrastructural development.

The research report titled Securities Industry: A Global Outlook announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers a rudimentary overview of the industry, highlights latest trends and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include US, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom) Asia-Pacific (China and India) and Latin America.

Posted on by

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) August 01, 2012

The largest sector of American organization, the sector at the heart of capitalism since it is at the coronary heart of expenditure, the valuation of firms, and the exchange of commodities and income globally, is becoming nationalizedrapidly, massively, and perhaps irreversibly. Wall Streetthe globally historic icon of capitalismis significantly together the street to government manage and de facto ownership. So writes Walter Donway in a freshly printed article “Nationalizing the Economic Sector.”

&#13

Donway analyzes how we arrived at this crossroads and predicts, dependent on earlier patterns of govt intervention, what the outcome may be.

&#thirteen

Donway supplies an evaluation of the roots of the 2008 financial disaster and the steps pursuing it, which includes these observations of the “extraordinary period of the nationalization”:

&#thirteen

–The initial disaster was pushed in large portion by enormous credit rating enlargement driven by the Fedand exacerbated in actual estate, in distinct, by two govt-designed companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Macwhich pushed the sector into over-drive, and, at the very same time, disabled all the normal restraints this kind of as growing desire costs, increasing threat-aversion, and deficiency of extra funds for investment decision.

&#13
