AAA Enters Security Industry With Acquisition

Published Nov 26, 2018 15:52 PM

AAA is a multi-billion dollar organization with 50+ million members and, in the US, most known for being a "towing service." However, the company has recently acquired a security company.

How much of an impact will AAA have in the industry and against integrators?

We believe this is an important first step for AAA's expansion into the security industry. Inside this note, we examine

  • AAA More Than A 'Towing Service'
  • Chief Innovation Officer Now CEO Of Security Company
  • AAA Very Large Overall
  • Details on the Deal
  • 'Vote of Confidence'
  • Competition to AAA Verticals
  • What Safe Brings to AAA
  • Roadmap for AAA
  • AAA Competitive Breakdown For Security Companies
