HoganGuards partners with Dallas-TX based Video Surveillance Solution Provider
America-based ZYCOM Surveillance and Nigeria-based
Conglomerate, HoganGuards, Ltd Announces Plans for New Business
Venture in the Security Surveillance and Technology Industry
A new era in business of global magnitude ~~ Planting the seeds of success in the security
surveillance business throughout Nigeria, the Ecowas Region and Africa
Dallas, TX, May 25, 2010: America-based Security Surveillance Company strikes gold when it announces
plans to join forces with a highly sought-after security conglomerate based in Lagos, Nigeria.
With its corporate offices located in Dallas, TX, ZYCOMM Industries, Inc. dba ZYCOM Surveillance, a hightech,
analytical security company founded by Gerald Alexander, President and CEO, ZYCOM offers 24-7
video monitoring, has been in the business of security and video surveillance for over 10 years.
When we caught up with the President of ZYCOM, he had this to say about ZYCOM’s role in the new
venture: “Our advanced and extensive company-focus is on interactive solutions for internet-based digital
video surveillance, closed circuit television (CCTV) and Access Control Systems. ZYCOM has a
comprehensive configuration to set offering: monitoring, remote viewer, email, phone or pager notification
with attached imaging. We will offer more powerful features in video contents analysis, such as
SmartSearch and missing and left object detection. Monitoring provides turnkey service by installing the
CCTV cable and cameras, selling the cameras and custom-built DVR recording systems, and then staffing
the monitoring stations. Customers are given the option of purchasing battery and cellular backup systems
to protect against power and Internet outages.”
“ZYCOM is committed to providing turnkey solutions that meet local and national demands for protection
in these trying times. ZYCOM was founded on three core principles that we stand behind on every project
and each endeavor we undertake. First, we are a company of the highest integrity and provide quality
service no matter who or where our customer is located. Our job is not complete until the customer is
completely satisfied; and second, we believe in balance. Although ZYCOM is a company working for
profit, giving back to the communities that support us is of the utmost importance. We measure our
success on the impact we have on those less fortunate.” These principles along with our years of
experience and our vast industry knowledge are what set us apart from all others.
Headquartered in Riverview Estate, Isheri, Ogun State in Nigeria, HoganGuards Limited is one of the leading
security companies in Nigeria. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary and formerly known as Guardsmark
Nigeria Limited, HoganGuards was founded in August 1981 by Dr. Kola Ibirogba, Chairman, and began
operating under its new name on April 10, 2006. Over the years, they have advanced in the field of
industrial security and plans for new services and expansion into territories are currently underway.
HoganGuards recently relocated to its new state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar, complex with an on-site
Centralized Monitoring System (CMS) by ZYCOM Surveillance and have been up and running since January
of this year. HoganGuards is rated as one of the top three security companies in Nigeria in terms of size,
organizational structure, and experience in the industry, equipment, assets, profitability, effectiveness and
strategy. Additionally, HoganGuards ranks as one of the oldest and most proficient surviving security
companies in Nigeria.
When we spoke to Dr. Ibirogba about his plans for the future of HoganGuards he had this to say: “We are
very excited about the opportunity to merge services, experiences and business culture with ZYCOM. Plans
for new growth into surrounding territories have been underway since October of last year. Recent talks to
work out specifics went extremely well and we are now moving forward as planned with our new venture.
We feel this decision will propel HoganGuards further into the 21st century and at the forefront of the
security industry on a global level. We currently offer an array of services such as:
- Static Security personnel
- 24-Hour Vehicular Patrol (“Night Marauder”)
- Security Screening
- Security Training
- Investigation and Forgery Detection
- Biometric and Fingerprint Identification
- Emergency and Ceremonial duties
- Escort Services
- Importation & distribution of security equipment
- Armed Escort
However, plans are also underway to provide the following services as well: centralized monitoring stations,
access control systems, polygraphs / lie detection services, pre-employment screening, surveillance
equipment sales and service. We are particularly excited about the introduction of the polygraph / lie
detector technology into the Nigerian financial market. This is the first time in Nigeria and the Ecowas
Region and will be a tremendous help for the financial industry and police as well as the business
community. Many businesses can now come to HoganGuards for proper screening of their employees
and prospective employees.”
My overall feeling about this venture is definitely a giant step in a new direction and leverage in our
economic position in Nigeria. I feel this will open many new doors for improved business relations between
Nigeria and America and I am looking forward to surging ahead into the future.”
