ABT (Applied Business Technology) brings Intelligence to Security, with ABT Security Systems.


ABT, Australia's largest Pronto software developer and reseller, have entered the SME (small to medium enterprise) and corporate security field with the launch of ABT Group company, ABT Security Systems.

ABT has completed the purchase of Sydney based Tramm Security, with the intention of changing the way business security is managed by both the vendor and company.

“For too long, corporate and small business security has been an afterthought,” said ABT founder Reg King.

“Security should be considered part of a companies technology assets. I'm not talking about guards and heavy duty glass, ABT Security Systems will be about integrating security into your present IT structure,” King said.

As part of the ABT Group, ABT Security Systems will offer companies systems that link their back-end business software with their security systems. This includes ID recognition, keypad security, alarm systems, CCTV systems, access control systems and security systems.

The ABT Group includes ABT itself (www.abtgroup.com.au), alongside managed systems expert and provider, ABT Online (www.abtonline.com.au).

“With ABT Security Systems we will bring intelligence and efficiency to security.”

“As just one of our offerings, ABT Security Systems are developing a module that will link security cameras directly with POS (Point Of Sale) software allowing for much greater evaluation and security efficiencies.”

“This has obvious benefits to any retail or Franchise business,” said King.

ABT Security will be looking to expand their presence in the strong ABT Group verticals of retail, warehousing and distribution.

ABT Security Systems will also provide clients with mobile phone applications, such as iPhone apps, allowing instant mobile viewing of management tools and security infrastructure.

“ABT have an acknowledged excellence with business software applications and custom modifications and we have simply added security benefits to our portfolio. The days of separating security and data management are long past.”

“With ABT Security Systems we will be bringing intelligence and analytics to corporate and company security. And it is about time,” King added.

ABT's Software Development Division has written customised software designed to fit client business processes since 1992.

ABT has supplied, implemented and maintains POS systems for VHA Pty Ltd with approximately six million customers, plus Optus World, Virgin Mobile, Telechoice, and Allphones among others.

ABT Security Systems will be headed up by electronics engineer, Terry Stanley.
