With the approval of our clients, we will strive to keep our stakeholders advised as we close key sales and business development transactions in the future,” stated J. Collier Sparks, President and CEO of MDI.  Wake County competitively bid its most recent phase of electronic security expansion in the 1st quarter of 2007. Wake County chose the upgrade based on MDI’s long term service to Wake County (since 1990), its ability to sustain a high end multi-server security system (28,000 card holders), and its ability to provide corporate and detention solutions that share enrollment while safeguarding access boundaries.  MDI is an access control and alarm management solution for Wake County’s corporate security.  The system is use extensively for Court and Corporate duress and dispatching, from Wake County’s Security Center, and is integrated with voice and video systems.  The Client relies on real-time physical access, scheduling and location validation for key personnel across county government facilities.   Wake uses MDI as a secondary detention access and alarm monitoring system, including a system wide Guard-tour solution spanning three Detention facilities.  The client was able to customize capabilities within the system to meet their specific needs, versus relying on “off the shelf” integrated systems that are not capable of customizing beyond their core feature-set.   With the MDI solution, the customer maintains its unique “one card system”, across all county facilities, that is capable of granting access to credentialed personnel at any facility within the county government system, including photo verification, regardless of enrollment location or originating group.          About MDI, Inc.
