ISIS Ltd. changes name to Fortecho Solutions Ltd |
April 21, 2016

When we started ISIS (Integrated Security Information Systems Ltd) in 1996 we
took great care in choosing a name that would reflect a different approach to
security systems. We pioneered the use of a software frontend to manage and
present alarm information. ISIS was also first to apply long-range “active” RFID
technology to protect moveable IT assets — a wireless solution using “powered”
long-range tags was imperative during the early days of expensive portable
laptops.
Our software development has always focused on two key drivers:
“Integration” and “Information”. Older security systems were stand-alone and
proprietary: our development team realised early on that systems could be more
powerful when they were integrated, providing alarm information to key decision
makers in real-time. Given that our solution tracked, managed and secured high
value assets, the software quickly became an enormous repository of data that
could be managed to streamline business efficiency — data that was key to
departments outside of the security remit.
With the emergence of
religious extremism in the Middle East, and the ensuing terrorism around the
world, it is with great regret that that we are forced to change our name and
ensure there is no association whatsoever with our company. In the past 15 years
we have built our reputation on protecting the world’s heritage and cultural
assets, while so called ‘Islamic State’ / ‘ISIS’ / ‘ISIL’ / Daesh endeavour to
destroy it. Our new name Fortecho™ reflects again what we stand for: strength,
technology and the echo of wireless systems. It is a unique word, and
trademarked in the 30+ countries we operate.
