Integrator Managing Projects Statistics (Project Manager)

Author: IPVM Team, Published on Dec 14, 2017

Who actually manages projects for security integrators? Does the average security integrator have dedicated project managers, or are technicians, sales people, or even the owner managing projects?

Moreover, what business factors dictate when PMs are used, and which group do many integrators say NEVER to make project managers?

Inside, 120+ integrators told us who manages their projects and why.
