WCC, the City Council of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, manages a diverse range of assets throughout the city, each with its own specific security issues. The Gallagher system was chosen for a number of reasons, not least because as a client-server system that communicates with intelligent TCP/IP field devices, it enables multiple technology platforms for system communications to transfer data across the city. Ian Gilber, WCC’s Security Manager, particularly values the system’s audit trail and reporting capability: “It’s fantastic. It’s easy to use and I draw on the information held in the system regularly”.
