Physical Security

See how integrated access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection systems perform together in real time, before you commit to rolling them out across every building in your enterprise portfolio.

IT Infrastructure

Evaluate how new security and communication systems fit your network architecture, cybersecurity standards, and infrastructure requirements before they ever touch your live production environment and systems.

Facilities Operations

Understand how new technology will affect day-to-day building operations, staff workflows, and ongoing site management, so your team is fully prepared well before installation day arrives.

Executive

Get a clear, firsthand view of the technology investment your organization is considering, along with the measurable business outcomes and ROI it can realistically be expected to deliver over the long term.

Parallel feels like an extension of our team, not an outside vendor we have to manage. They’ll sprint with you or they’ll marathon with you. When we need to pivot, they move with us.

IT Project Manager, Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board

Parallel’s Client Success Manager didn’t just optimize our security system, they showed us how to unlock features we already had. Automating visitor tracking alone is saving us 56 hours a month, allowing our team to focus on more critical tasks.

Todd Jones

Head of Security, Minneapolis Institute of Art

Parallel understands the complex needs of K-12 security. Their responsiveness and expertise give us the confidence that we’re meeting today’s safety standards while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
