System integration involves enabling communication and coordination between technologies that typically function in isolation such as CCTV, Building Management Systems (BMS), access control, intrusion detection, fire alarms, and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). Traditionally, each system performed its role independently, leading to missed alerts, inefficiencies, and slower incident responses.
By investing in an integrated solution, organisations can unify these systems into a centralised hub, simplifying management, improving situational awareness, and enhancing safety across their sites.
Healthcare
Hospitals and healthcare facilities manage sensitive patient data and life-critical systems. An integrated approach ensures that medical systems are resilient, access is tightly controlled, and patient data remains confidential. For instance, integrating monitoring and security systems from day one reduces downtime during emergencies and prevents unauthorised access.
Utilities
Water, electricity, and gas utilities are essential for communities. A single disruption can have wide-reaching consequences. System integration focuses on operational technology (OT) and IT integration, threat modelling, and resilience. Designing control centres with embedded security prevents outages and supports regulatory compliance.
Data Centres
Data centres are the backbone of digital services, holding sensitive information for businesses and governments. They must remain operational 24/7. Prioritising physical access control, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring ensures that even if one component is compromised, services remain uninterrupted.
Custodial
Prisons and detention facilities demand the highest levels of control and accountability. Integrated systems allow for coordinated management of cell door access, perimeter detection, staff safety alarms, and visitor monitoring. By consolidating these functions, operators gain faster incident response, reduced risk of escapes or disturbances, and improved duty-of-care compliance.
Government
Government buildings and facilities, from administrative hubs to national critical infrastructure sites are prime targets for cyber and physical threats. System integration enables strict access protocols, unified monitoring across multiple locations, and resilience against both insider and external risks. This creates a secure environment for staff and the public while supporting transparency and regulatory obligations.
Higher Education
Universities and colleges operate complex, open environments with thousands of students, staff, and visitors moving through campuses daily. Integrated systems help control access to sensitive areas such as research labs, monitor high-traffic spaces, and coordinate responses across large estates. With Datalog QL, higher education institutions can unify security, building management, and IT systems, improving safety, reducing costs, and creating a smarter, more connected campus experience.
