Based on the critical importance it has on the bottom line, it is no surprise that top of mind in enterprises and organizations of all sizes around the world are issues regarding risk management and loss prevention.  Whether it be the monitoring of physical assets such as buildings and equipment, or of other key assets like sensitive data or even financial instruments, in an ever increasingly risky environment knowing what is going on with business-critical resources in real-time so that changes in status can activate alerts and prompt mitigation procedures has never been more important.

The challenge is that historic risk management and loss prevention capabilities can be time-consuming to implement, expensive to monitor and may not be capable of providing the information needed to execute timely and effective responses.

The need for most if not all of the information to be transmitted, received and acted upon in real or near real-time (especially when they involve the dynamic changes in state regarding the surveillance, alerting and remediation of events surrounding physical assets and people who by necessity are on the move) has become paramount. This has led to risk management and loss prevention solutions being rapidly moved to provisioning over state-of-the-art wireless networks.

Early on the Sprint (News - Alert) Emerging Solutions Group recognized this requirement and has partnered with security industry leaders to deliver wireless-enabled security solutions that not only significantly reduce the time and cost of implementation and monitoring, but also are a dramatic leap forward in security and loss prevention performance compared to current methods.

Highlighting best practices and unique solutions gleaned from some of the most challenging loss prevention situations, Sprint Emerging Solutions Group is sponsoring an insightful webinar, “Security Solutions: Managing Risk, Preventing Loss and Improving Operational Management to Benefit Your Business,” on Tuesday October 25, 2011 2:00 PM ET/ 11:00 AM PT.

A distinguished panel of leading-edge experts will share their sights on the capabilities and benefits of wireless-based security and loss prevention. Learn about industry trends, best practices and the demonstrable benefits of new wireless-based capabilities, and how your organization can get started transforming your risk management and loss prevention environment to meet the challenges of today and be ready for what may await tomorrow.
