Access Control Qtrly Executive Sentiment Report

Every quarter, executives worldwide ask us: "How's everyone else feeling out there?" The physical access control industry is changing fast, more global, digital, and complex than ever. But it lacked a unified pulse check. That's why we launched the Quarterly Executive Sentiment Survey with ELATEC Group to create our industry's benchmark.
We surveyed over 50 executives globally across manufacturers, software companies, integrators, consultants, and distributors. Anonymous responses encouraged candid input. We allowed 30 days for submissions and another 30 to analyze results, focusing on questions we'll track quarterly to identify trends. This isn't just another report, it's a tool for benchmarking sentiment and shaping strategy.
Join the Access Control Executive Brief and get access to the full report packed with key insights from the quarterly survey results. Get detailed analysis by role, geography, and company size, plus see how global executives are responding and how our industry compares to tech, smart buildings, manufacturing, real estate, education, and government sectors. Lee Odess provides his expert take on what matters and what's just noise in this quarter's findings.
