Happy Holidays from ICS
As 2016 draws to a close I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been. This year has been one of both opportunity and challenge for ICS. Among our successes: our exciting collaboration with S2 Security to help develop multiple releases of S2 Magic Monitor, a sophisticated, cross-platform digital security surveillance solution. You can read about S2 Magic Monitor, which delivers visual information to people where and when they need it, in this issue.
Among our challenges? Educating businesses about the hazards of a skills gap and how it can negatively impact product development – another interesting topic you can read about in this month’s newsletter.
