WHAT IS A SYSTEM INTEGRATOR AND DO I NEED ONE?
A System Integrator is an individual, usually a designer or contractor, who can integrate different systems together to provide building-specific solutions and installations. Most systems installed in buildings are stand-alone systems that require no integration. Hardwired systems, where outputs of one system are directly wired to inputs of another, do not require an Integrator. Systems that are directly connected by a digital signal usually do not require an Integrator. Integrated systems that use a common method of control, or so-called ‘open systems’, usually do require the services of a System Integrator. The above are very brief explanations.
