As those who have been engaged in roller coasters, extreme sports or fast cars can attest, there is often a thin line between thrills and chills. The stimulation emanates from speed and sudden, often unexpected changes 鈥?dynamics also at play right now in the security integration business. The rapid, accelerating pace of new technologies, devices, systems, services, sales models and competitors is a double-edged sword serving up both thrilling opportunities and chilling challenges. Those who can鈥檛 keep up may find themselves shouting out their best George Jetson impression: 鈥淕et me off this crazy thing!鈥?/p>
