Developed by the CIE-Group team, The Integration Exchange has been created in response to a growing need for more connected conversations across the industries the company serves. The podcast will explore the innovations, challenges and commercial shifts shaping the world of integrated technology, offering valuable insight for installers, integrators, consultants, manufacturers and end users.
As the UK’s first podcast dedicated to both security and audio integration, The Integration Exchange will provide a platform for industry experts to discuss the topics that genuinely matter.
The first episode, Cloud & Access Control: Hype or Real Transformation?, launches on 1 June and explores one of the most widely discussed topics in the access control sector: the rise of cloud technology.
Cloud & Access Control: Hype or Real Transformation? Ep. 1
Hosted by CIE-Group’s own Kevin Sherwood, the debut episode features a practical discussion with Jeremy Hildred from 2N, Ali Nasser from Arana Security and Darren Smith from Carbon Spring. Together, the panel explores how cloud is genuinely reshaping access control, cutting through the hype to ask important questions such as:
- Where does cloud truly add value, and where is it oversold?
- What does cloud change commercially for integrators and end users?
- How should the industry approach connected systems in a way that delivers real benefit?
“The Integration Exchange is about creating space for meaningful, useful conversations. We work across industries that are constantly evolving, and we wanted to bring together the people helping to shape that change. The goal is to share knowledge, challenge assumptions and give our customers and partners insight they can actually use.”
Kevin Sherwood of CIE-Group.
The launch of The Integration Exchange reflects CIE-Group’s ongoing commitment to supporting the integration community with innovation and practical resources. With future episodes set to cover a wide range of topics across security, AV, audio and connected technologies, the podcast aims to become a valuable source of insight for professionals across the sector.
Because connected systems deserve connected conversations.
