Keeping up the Pace with Technological Advancements

They were quick to identify and implement new technologies such as ISDN, VOIP, Unified Communication and IP Video Surveillance. Similarly, they diversified in Access Control and Video Surveillance domains early on with highly differentiated biometric and software solutions. These changes are not limited only to technologies and products. They are equally relentless in driving changes in R&D, manufacturing, marketing and sales through continuous improvements in their strategies, methodologies, automation, equipment and tools. For example, they have implemented agility in R&D software and Matrix manufacturing follows lean methodology.

Therefore, Matrix products are packed with ‘more’ technology, reliability, performance, productivity, applications, flexibility, functions, features, cost saving and support.
