A Unique Approach to Excellent Customer Service

In 2003, Chris Wise and Chris Parris approached the owners of Security One Systems about being a licensed user of their name in Atlanta. After several meetings and agreement was reached for PWI, Inc. to operate as Security One Systems, Inc. in Atlanta.

The success of the operation was immediate, thanks in part to the founders’ extensive knowledge of the industry and to the marketing, management, and financial systems developed by Security One Systems. Added to the mix was a unique approach to excellent customer service developed by Wise and Parris.

In 2005, Security One Systems, Inc. was sold to Ingersoll-Rand. After several months, IR decided to terminate the above agreement. PWI, Inc. immediately re-branded itself as SECURITY 101.

The success of PWI under the licensing model generated awareness among other industry veterans, who approached PWI about developing new operations in other states under the SECURITY 101 name. Once again, the experience of being associated with a larger entity allowed these new integrators to rapidly grow their business.

In 2007, the owners of PWI decided to formalize their system of licensing by developing a new franchise program. They formed Security Franchisors, LLC, which provides Franchise Opportunities under the SECURITY 101 brand.
