Nighthawk Group, LLC (NHG) is a Northwest Chicago-based IP integration company that serves small and mid-size business segments, non-profits, manufacturing facilities, and K-8 educational facilities, both locally and nationwide. With the mission of becoming trusted business advisors to their clients, NHG offers a variety of products and services that provide customers with flexibility and future-proof technology. As an early adopter of ISONAS’s Pure IP hardware solution, NHG President Kevin Smith knew that as the physical security market began the shift toward cloud-based products, he should begin to explore options for offering access control as a Service (ACaaS) to customers. With their Pure Access RMR license, NHG has been able to create a profitable business model and help their SMB customers protect their assets without the large capital expense that usually comes with access control systems.
