Relationships Matter More Than Contracts

In our industry, projects rarely go exactly as planned. Last week, we were supporting a high-profile client in NYC. The client required a specialized 2-person entry solution for a secured room. The system in use had a software bug that the manufacturer is working to resolve — but the client couldn’t wait. They needed a fix by Monday. This was already Friday at 11:00 a.m. when the issue hit our desk.

Here’s what happened next:
Our Vicon Industries Inc.Vicon sales rep James Freeman didn’t just process an order — he pushed past his company’s normal cut-off, personally picked up the hardware, and stayed until 4:45 p.m. despite his office closing early at 3:00 p.m. for Summer Fridays, to make sure we got it in hand. (I had to take a 3.5 hour drive to get there)

Vicon’s emergency tech support worked with our team until 2:30 a.m. to guide us through the first-ever installation of this solution.

Their product manager gave up part of part of his Saturday morning to help us deliver success for the client.

None of this was required. The order was small. The problem wasn’t even theirs. But they treated it like it was their mission. That’s what creates loyalty.

At IDR Technology Solutions, we value partnerships that go beyond transactions. Vicon didn’t just help us solve a problem — they showed us what it means to stand behind your partners when it really counts.

To the entire team at Vicon: thank you, and of course a very special thanks to James Freeman This is how trust is built, and it’s why you’ve earned our loyalty for the long run.

🚪✨ Another smart upgrade by the IDR team!
We just wrapped a project where we installed an intercom system at the security desk and connected it to automatic ADA-compliant doors with maglocks.

Here’s how it works:
✅ Visitor presses the intercom
✅ Security can see and talk to them from the booth
✅ If approved, security presses a button and the doors unlock and open automatically

This setup makes access:
Safer 🔒
Smoother 👌
Fully accessible ♿

Whether it's a school, residential building, or office — this kind of solution makes a real difference in day-to-day operations.
