Top 10 Voice-of-Customer Phrases (By Problem vs. Desire)
  • Downtime Concern: “We can’t afford downtime.”

  • Reliability Urgency: “I need it to work every single time – no exceptions.”

  • Vendor Frustration: “We don’t have time for vendor runarounds or finger-pointing.”

  • Complexity Overload: “Our team is stretched thin – we can’t babysit a bunch of disparate systems.”

  • Safety Worry: “If something fails in an emergency, it could cost lives. That keeps me up at night.”

  • Simplicity Desire: “I just want one solution that handles everything, so I can focus on my job.”

  • Peace of Mind: “I want to know – not hope – that our security will work when it matters.”

  • Trust in Partnership: “We need a partner who takes ownership, not just another vendor selling a product.”

  • Avoiding Surprises: “No more last-minute surprises or hidden issues – I hate feeling in the dark.”

  • Compliance Assurance: “We can’t risk falling out of compliance; I want to be sure we’re always up-to-code and audit-ready.”


These are real-world sentiments from facility and IT leaders. Problems focus on fear of downtime, system failure, vendor hassles, and overwhelming complexity. Desires center on reliable performance, single-point accountability, peace of mind, and confidence in safety and compliance.

Competitive Gap Insight

Many competitors in the security and IT integration space tend to follow a predictable script – and that’s exactly where Omni Data sets itself apart:

Overemphasis on Hardware, Underemphasis on Outcomes: Others often lead with lists of gadgets, brand-name equipment, or technical specs. They might tout having the “latest technology” but fail to address the client’s actual worries (like system downtime or emergency readiness). Omni Data flips the script by leading with outcomes and peace of mind. We focus our messaging on what clients care about – keeping operations running and people safe, rather than just pushing shiny new products. (In practice, we use best-in-class tech, but we talk about it in terms of reliability and results for the client.) This makes clients feel heard and assured, not sold to.

Competitors Push One-Off Projects, Omni Data Offers Partnership: Others often operate on a bid-and-build mentality – they install a system and then it’s “onto the next job,” leaving clients with minimal support. Important ongoing needs like maintenance, updates, and evolving requirements are underemphasized. Omni Data does the opposite: we highlight our design-build-and-maintain model and long-term partnership approach from the get-go. We intentionally emphasize 24/7 support and maintenance contracts in our offering, which many competitors gloss over. This not only addresses a major client pain point (“I don’t want to be left hanging after install”), but also differentiates us as a company that sticks around and is invested in the client’s success.

Siloed Solutions vs. Integrated Approach: In our industry, some competitors specialize only in one slice (say, alarms or IT networking) and tend to overemphasize that silo, forcing clients to juggle multiple vendors for a complete solution. Integration between physical security and IT might be an afterthought for them. Omni Data’s message flips this narrative by promoting a holistic, integrated network (SecNet) that covers access control, surveillance, fire safety, IT infrastructure – all unified. We underline how this integration removes gaps and conflicts between systems (which competitors often underemphasize or can’t address if they only do one piece). This approach positions Omni Data as a one-stop solution and highlights a competitive gap: the convergence of physical security and IT is happening, and we’re one of the few addressing it head-on.

Compliance and Public Safety Integration: Another gap is the RapidSOS Ready capability. Many traditional integrators don’t mention tying into public emergency networks – they often overlook the value of next-gen emergency integration. Omni Data seizes this opportunity by showcasing our RapidSOS Ready status and explaining its benefits (faster 911 response, compliance with new safety mandates like Alyssa’s Law) – areas competitors underemphasize. By doing so, we appear more forward-thinking and aligned with modern safety standards, whereas competitors sound old-school when they only stress basic monitoring or proprietary apps. This “future-ready” positioning (e.g. highlighting that 80% of dispatchers recommend RapidSOS-type systems makes Omni Data stand out as innovating beyond what others offer.

In essence, where competitors often talk about themselves – their products, their years in business, their generic promises – Omni Data flips the focus entirely onto the client’s perspective. We emphasize solving the problems competitors often leave lingering (downtime, integration headaches, post-install support, evolving emergency tech). This approach not only differentiates our brand but builds trust: clients see that we prioritize what they truly care about, not what we find easiest to sell. The result is a homepage and value proposition that cuts through the industry noise and positions Omni Data as the smart, client-first choice among a sea of me-too integrators.
