message from the CEO<\/h1>\n<h2>A year in review &#8211; Keri Systems 2021<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another year is almost gone and we wanted to take a minute to reflect back on everything that has happened.\u00a0 We\u2019ve seen monumental shifts in business from how data is processed, to supply chain and price instability, and continued shifts to hybrid or remote work due to Covid\u2019s tenacious hold on our society.\u00a0 As an industry, Access Control has generally weathered the storm better than many but that\u2019s not to say there haven\u2019t been bumps in the road.\u00a0 Keri foresaw the supply chain problems and put close to half a million dollars of key integrated circuits and other components in stock to ensure that we could supply a steady stream of material for our partners.\u00a0 We\u2019re happy to report that Keri is still shipping close to 100% of its orders on the day they are received with the sole exception being those that include hardware that Keri doesn\u2019t make.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2021 also saw some significant milestones for Keri.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

2022.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of 2022, Keri is anticipating that it will be another year of rapid adoption of cloud and mobile platforms so Keri has more than doubled our development staff over the last two years with a major focus being on Borealis, our cloud hosted software.\u00a0 We now have 14 Engineers working almost exclusively on these platforms to rapidly rollout additional hardware support as well as integrations to other cloud based packages.\u00a0 Covid has rapidly accelerated the shift to cloud hosted solutions and now over 99% of businesses do some data processing in the cloud and 84% of IT professionals report that they are rapidly moving away from on premises servers.\u00a0 As an industry, access control needs to embrace this tidal shift and Keri certainly has.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a quick preview of what you can expect to see from Keri in the next year, but trust us, there\u2019s more to come.\u00a0 We can\u2019t let all of the surprises out at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a title=\"Borealis Cloud Solution\" href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/products\/borealis\/\">Borealis<\/a> Features and Integrations Currently in
