Solutions
At Native Systems we deal with technology as a means to achieving effective results. In fact we believe that
technology is and should be the ultimate tool that enable businesses and individuals alike to achieve their
desired objectives in a cost effective and measurable way without compromising on quality.
What makes Native Systems so diversified in terms of technology coverage is our ability to understand
technology at its core and our experience in dealing flexibly with various technical problems to address
customer needs.
"At Native Systems our slogan is . What this means is that we“Engineering Your Success”follow a scientific approach to help you meet your challenges and objectives."
Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical,
economical, social and practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems,
materials and processes that safely mold solutions to one’s needs. Hence, engineering does not only deal
with the technical aspects scientifically and mathematically, but also deals with them in their given social
and economical context in a safe and practical manner.
It is never about products, brands or technology per say, it is about how they can be combined and
constructed in way to achieve the desired outcomes with the minimum cost possible.
Since technology and objectives are ever changing, we must also be able to maintain, develop and improve
these constructively over time. It is also not possible for one organization to practically be able to cover so
many disciplines and specialisations and maintain at the same time a high level of agility and efficiency.
Page 8 of 24
Therefore our approach has always been, in addition to developing our own set of expertise and
competence, to build and develop partnerships with various technology and solutions providers in addition
to alliances with various service and consulting firms.
"Our services and solutions are centered around the fact that we are experiencedtechnology contractors, hence we master the ability to fully understand the objectives,problems or issues at hand as well as recommending, designing, delivering, supporting andenhancing technology implementations, while simultaneously providing a consistent andconstructive knowledge transfer."
It is also important to note that understanding technology and the ability to implement technical systems is
one thing and the ability to integrate those systems is quite another.
At Native Systems we are never satisfied with what technology offers out-of-the-box. We always look at
what can be improved, how systems can work together better and how we can deliver such integration
through hardcore software, hardware and effective communication engineering.
We have nonetheless grouped our solutions offering into the following lines of business:
Integrated Security
Automation
Internet & Mobile
Information Technology
Audio Visual & Interactive
Integrated Security
Physical & Logical Security and Safety
As we look at underlying motivations and drivers, we strongly find that the elements of security and safety
cannot but be consolidated and integrated. It is also however true that their emphasis differ from one
scenario to another and the secret lies in the detail.
It is also often clear that these elements could make processes more or less complex and hence could
negatively affect productivity. However, if done right, integrated security and safety can only achieve better
productivity when looking at the big picture.
"Our approach to security and safety is a holistic one addressing individual and specificneeds and scenarios in order to ensure a comprehensive and optimal coverage."
Whatever the situation is and the technology in use, we make sure that the following concepts are properly
studied and covered accordingly:
the level of guarantee that a security/safety system will behave as expectedAssurance - a way to stop a threat from triggering a risk eventCountermeasure -
never rely on one single security/safety measure aloneDefense (in depth) -
Page 9 of 24
a vulnerability that has been triggered by a threat - a risk of 1.0 (100%)Exploit - a possible event which could cause a lossRisk -
a method of triggering a risk event that is dangerousThreat - a weakness in a target that can potentially be exploited by a threat securityVulnerability -
to identify causes of a system failure and correct deficienciesRoot Cause Analysis - in the event of a threat actually becoming a real problem, what might be theWhat If Analysis -
impact or consequences
the extent of exposure to a risk and/or the likelihood of its occurrenceRisk Mitigation - what to do in the event a risk becomes and inevitable realityRisk Response Planning -
the ability to control, monitor and operate security/safety systemsManageability -
"Technology should always and whenever possible be comprehensive and integrated.Corporate or organizational processes and roles often segregate responsibilities, whichseem to be addressing each aspect of the trilogy independently."
For instance, fire alarm systems are increasingly becoming based on Internet Protocol, thus leading to
them being accessible via local and wide area networks within organisations. Emergency notification is now
a new standard in many industries, as well as Physical Security Information Management (PSIM).
PSIM integrates all physical security systems in a facility, and provides a single and comprehensive means
of managing all of these resources. It consequently saves time and cost in the effective management of
physical security and enables the integration of such systems with logical counterparts as well as safety
elements, especially when these three elements share an equal level of priority and emphasis.
Our range of security and safety solutions is therefore very flexible and dynamic.
The following is a quick list of the major core components:
Biometrics
Public Key Infrastructures
Identity Management Systems
Single Sign-On
Physical Information Management Systems
Command, Control, Communication and Computers
Access Control
Personnel, Assets and Vehicles Identity & Tracking
Integrated Control & Visualization
Video/Audio & Sensory Surveillance
Secure Printing and Identity Cards Design, Production and Management
Internet & Mobile
Native Systems provides a wide range of Internet & Mobile solutions to meet your business challenges
and help you stay ahead of the competition in a fast paced World of Technology.

Lead Generation System
It is a fast world we live in, and today businesses need to
invest time and money into . Itgenerating business leadsis a conundrum when the person that is spending the dime
doing research for new potential clients should be the one
that is out taking care of the existing business and bringing in
new business. Time is, very much so, money!
Traditional means of advertising – such as trade shows,
exhibitions, print advertising – are these days being seen as
more antiquated, they are most certainly helpful in a
branding capacity but at huge and sometimes overwhelming
costs. In today’s economic climate, the majority of businesses
cannot afford to invest in such activities on a regular basis in
order to to fill their sales pipeline.generate business leads
Aside from the high costs involved, it is also difficult to ascertain what leads may come out of traditional
advertising. Your brand may be noticed more by the public at large, but are people (prospective clients)
spending towards your company to bring back what you have put in?
There is little means of discerning the effectiveness of conventional marketing, it is also short-term
advertising, a magazine is only out for that month, the exhibition only goes on for 5 days, and so how long
do you continue for without seeing any reaped rewards?
This is where we at Native Systems will come in to assist you
with our We will ensureOnline Lead Generation System.that your valuable staff members are out doing their
imperative jobs, that money is not only saved but generated,
as we at Native Systems will assist with the introduction and

Design Methodology & Approach
Native Systems has vast experience in the design of operational centres. We understand the importance of
strategic planning and designing in achieving maximum results.
Our Process of Doing
At Native Systems we listen to the client – by knowing our client we can answer their needs in the most
efficient and timely manner. A job can only be done to its full capacity by understanding – with a clear
vision – the client’s goal.
We will ascertain the geography, demographics, commuting times, migration times, security and such -
along with the companies’ image internally and externally. All of these combined answers will assist in
being a major factor in building selection and design.
Control Room Design
Control centres are at the hands of the person who works within them – this is an important note in the
designing of a control room. Our design team are skilled, passionate staff members qualified in
Visualisation, Architecture, Interior Design, Industrial Design, Ergonomics and Psychology. On board, we
also have a team specialising in lighting and acoustics.
We believe in the importance of an ergonomics room – allowing the operator comfort and accessibility –
our team ensures that we follow all correct and safe procedures in this regard.
Furniture Design
The workplace is where we spend most of our week hours, therefore it is essential that the chair we sit on
and the desk we work off of are of the highest in quality and comfort. The right furniture can improve
productivity and conversely, a chair that is not ergonomic can lead one to work less effectively.
At Native Systems, we will spend time understanding the roles of the employer – knowing what their needs
are in order to make their working day more comfortable and thus productive.
Space Planning
The design of a working space is the key to an efficient and productive outcome. Space needs to be utilised,
in all its capacity, to ensure the best in end working results. Our design team will understand the jobs at
hand, they will measure up the space, realise the necessity of flow and convenience and ensure that your
best results is to the absolute maximum.
We understand that the working place is not a stagnant one and that change is bound, and will bear this in
Page 23 of 24
mind during the design process.
A mock-up is a possibility for the client to see, feel and understand the why and how.
Interior Design
Interior design is not only about the aesthetic, but also ensuring that the change is an effective one. Space
needs to be utilised, it needs to help the communication, and in turn lead towards optimal results.
Our designers understand all these needs and musts. Colours and textures should correspond to the
working need of the employers to assist in the productivity of their work. Acoustics is also an important
aspect of the design process – managing it correctly ensures less stress and annoyance.
Our team of designers work closely with the engineers during the course of the project, understanding that
communication is an essential in getting the desired results. We are on hand at all times!
Implementation
We will be on site at all stages of the design process – being on hand at all site meetings and inspections.
We will ensure that a prototype of all pieces is acquired, to test the comfort, compliance and ergonomics of
all products – only once a sign off is acquired will we give the go ahead to the manufacturers.
Lighting Design
Natural light is a preferred by most people when working and having access to an outside view is one that
reduces stress and brings on relaxation. However, there will be a need for artificial light – and ensuring
that the lighting is effective is a crucial aspect in the design process; to avoid exhaustion, headaches, and
poor work.
Our lighting team will ensure the best in natural, ambient and task lighting to optimise performance.
Acoustics
Acoustics, like lighting, is something that can contribute to stress, irritation and subsequently to that poor
levels of work – if it is not taken into consideration. The acoustic environment needs to match the task at
hand for the employer; there may be need for communication in one area, and in another area a desire for
privacy.
The location of the control room within a building needs to be weighed against the external noise that may
play effect. To ensure that noise is not a factor against the control room, we will do spot checks and surveys.
Finishes to the walls and floors are selected in consideration of their noise absorption to provide a balanced
working environment.
Ergonomics User Requirements
To ensure the best in ergonomics, we at Native Systems, need to understand the roles and functions that
will be performed by the employee.
An Ergonomic surrounding is one that understands the user’s needs and is thus user friendly.

Involvement & Engagement With End Users
At Native Systems, we enjoy the end user involvement at all stages of the design process. We do this by
arranging workshops where we present our 3D visualisations and models. Following from this we will bring
in mock-ups for a clearer and more tactile understanding of where we are intending to head in terms of
final result.
Accessibility
It is becoming increasingly important to ensure that accessibility of a workplace is one that accommodates
those with mobility, visual or auditory impairments as well as those with learning disabilities or elder
people. Safety is essential in the consideration of the accessibility – with clear communication our design
team will ensure that all the regulations are met.
