This is a unique claim in an industry where it is common for system manufacturers to release the next generation of their products with no legacy support or compatibility with existing equipment. Although a continuous development program exists for all aspects of the system (software, hardware and firmware) we have ensured that no system has been rendered obsolete since the initial product launch. This very-long-term strategic planning requirement has always been important for PLAN customers (typically large organisations who could spend 10-years rolling the system out across an extended estate).įuture proofing has been part of the design intent for PLAN field equipment since 1986. We believe our systems should have an expected product lifetime of at least 15 years. Founded in 1979, initially as a security distribution and consultancy service serving the emerging access control sector of the UK security industry, ACS has been manufacturing and designing microprocessor based security systems since the mid 1980’s.ĭay-to-day activity now focuses on the equally important tasks of manufacturing and development – as well as sales and technical support for our system integrator/installer network. for me, I bought my 2011 off the dealer lot in Feb of this year, and x-plan + rebates was about 10K off MSRP. However, negotiating a price now on a 2011 maybe just as good or better. In April 2002 the company was incorporated after 21 successful years trading as a partnership. (Edited) I think X-plan still does mean something, especially when it is still early in the model-year.The best Linux alternative is GanttProject, which. The answer to the first question is pretty straight forward. You can compare a given baseline with the current actual schedule using the Baseline/Actual menu in the toolbar. OmniPlan is not available for Linux but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. And can you elaborate a bit on the different options available in dbmsxplan package along with some examples This blog post is to address those questions. Access Control Services Ltd is a limited company. OmniPlan 3 supports not just a single baseline, but as many as you want so at any given point in the project, you can take a snapshot that sets a new standard from which the actual project can proceed.
