Visual Management Systems Provides Big Brothers Big Sisters With Video Surveillance Solution
VMS Partners With Mercom Capital Group to Secure Nonprofit’s Central Texas Location
TOMS RIVER, NJ–(EMWNews – July 15, 2008) – Visual Management Systems, Inc. (
N.J., is pleased to announce that it has teamed with its Austin, TX based
investor and public relations firm, Mercom Capital Group, llc (“Mercom”),
to provide Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas with a video
surveillance system. Through its relationship with Mercom, VMS discovered
the nonprofit recently suffered a string of thefts and acts of vandalism.
To help Big Brothers Big Sisters combat this rash of crime, VMS donated
eight cameras and a flagship Virtual Manager 2 DVR. The solution was
implemented in two phases, culminating this past weekend when VMS CEO Jason
Gonzalez and Director of Operations Kevin Sangirardi volunteered their time
to complete the project.
“For several years, our budget wouldn’t allow for increased security
measures beyond our existing alarm systems and lighting. Neither had
deterred the smash and grabs, which occurred even in daylight hours,” said
Melanie Chasteen, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas. “Mercom and VMS have been very
generous in providing a tool to us that we couldn’t otherwise afford, [one]
that allows us to feel some measure of control over our premises.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been helping children ages six to 16 reach
their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships
in the Austin area since 1971. Unfortunately, the Central Texas office is
located in an area where crime is a regular occurrence, and the Big
Brothers Big Sisters facility has not been immune from break-ins, vandalism
and theft.
“It really is disconcerting that unfortunate incidents such as these happen
to such well-meaning and valuable organizations,” said Wendy Prabhu,
President and Co-founder of Mercom Capital Group. “We are proud to work
with companies like VMS who come to the aid of deserving nonprofits like
Big Brothers Big Sisters in their time of need.”
The VMS effort to protect the nonprofit’s facility is part of its Corporate
Social Responsibility program that Mercom is helping initiate. The
company’s charitable contributions have not gone unnoticed: the Big
Brothers Big Sisters project captured the attention of Austin media, and
several major network affiliates followed the installation from start to
finish. Rebroadcasts of the coverage may be viewed by following the links:

“VMS has a great appreciation for all that Big Brothers Big Sisters
represents,” stated Mr. Gonzalez. “I’m very pleased we were in a position
to help address their safety and security concerns.”
