Dennis Raefield, previously President of Honeywell Access Systems and then CEO of Mace Security, recently became the COO of Viscount Systems, a global provider of advanced facility access control systems. Raefield, who has an extensive background in the security industry, has served on the Viscount board.
At Honeywell Access Systems, a $100 million division of Honeywell International, Mr. Raefield was responsible for enterprise level access control systems for Fortune 100 clients. He was also the President of Pinkerton Systems Integration, currently Securitas, responsible for access control systems for Fortune 500 clients. Mr. Raefield was also CEO/owner of Omega Corporate Security, a California-based security system integration company.
Mr. Raefield is joining Viscount at a critical time in the security industry, when technology is moving away from its traditional control panel orientation to integrated IT-based systems. Mr. Raefield commented that Viscount’s “Freedom access control platform is the first and only system that allows entry devices and other building automation systems to be connected to standard building IT networks without requiring expensive control panels that are programmed from a PC,” describing how their system “connects the card reader and door strike through the Internet.” The system uses logical IT security software, such as Microsoft’s Active Directory, to replace control panels and traditional software components. There’s no need for a separate database or security infrastructure, making integrated security simpler, stronger, and more cost effective.
Viscount is a leading driver of the new approach, and the company has been successful in its moves to raise funds to expand development and their sales force. Viscount currently has access control systems or equipment installed at thousands of sites throughout the world, and anticipates significant growth as the new technology dominates the industry.
