You know what really happens on an emergency communications job. You’ve seen the paging system nobody tested after closeout, the campus running four alert platforms that don’t talk to each other and the client who only found budget after something went wrong.
Commercial Integrator and Security Sales & Integration (CI+SSI) are conducting the 2027 Emergency Communications Deep Dive Survey. We want to hear from the integrators who do this work every day. Our goal is to understand where the market stands today, including the trends, challenges and opportunities you’re seeing firsthand.
What Does the Survey Cover?
The survey focuses on emergency communication systems, including mass notification, paging, voice evacuation, intercoms, text alerts and digital signage alerts. Questions cover topics such as:
- Which vertical markets you serve
- How often clients upgrade their systems
- Who leads the buying decision
- How often systems get tested after installation
- Where you see recurring revenue potential
- Which technologies will matter most over the next three to five years
Why Does Your Input Matter?
Your answers directly shape what we cover. The results will guide our editorial reporting on emergency communications, from the stories we pursue to the questions we ask manufacturers and end users.
Maybe you’re an AV integrator adding voice evacuation to your offerings. Maybe you’re a security integrator tying alerts into access control, or a firm that does both. Either way, your perspective counts. So does your skepticism. If you think a trend is overhyped, tell us.
The more integrators who respond, the more accurate the picture gets. That means coverage that reflects what’s actually happening in the field, not what the market hopes is happening.
