How RSI works
For over a decade, Relevant Secure Innovations has been committed to bringing innovative solutions to the EMEA market through its cooperative partner platform. We have built strong relationships with manufacturers and created a single point of service to provide regional clients with the systems they require.
A successful relationship for RSI is guided by the trust it builds with a deliberately small number of solution providers in each market across the Middle East and North Africa — a platform of services that has since expanded to cover the Latin and Central American markets as well.
RSI assurance means the different products work together and the integrator is not left to determine how to make them work — reducing risk and the time to implement and deploy.
Bill Markel founded Relevant Secure Innovations when he recognized that the EMEA market was being underserved by the world’s leading technology manufacturers. New and exciting products weren’t being promoted in a region dominated by older, legacy systems — the businesses, industries, and communities there were simply being overlooked. RSI was built to close that gap.
A seasoned physical security and technology executive with more than 20 years in the industry, Bill sold Enterprise Air — a physical security technology integration platform company — in 2010, and has been fully committed to international markets ever since, with an emphasis on the GCC and North Africa.
That commitment is literal: Bill spends two to three weeks every quarter on the ground in the Gulf, and has become intimately familiar with the region’s government structures, critical-infrastructure project flow, and bidding processes — often supporting the leading solution providers in each market. His recent focus has centered on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, and he serves as the regional business development lead for platform partners including Activu and Pyrotech Workspace, with a regular presence at Intersec Dubai and industry events across the region.
His guiding interest has stayed the same for over a decade: building long-term strategic relationships in every market RSI serves.
