Gallagher Security's QuickSwitch honored at NSCA’s 2025 Excellence in Product Innovation Awards

CANTON, GA — Gallagher Security’s QuickSwitch has earned its first industry accolade, winning Best Installation Tool for Integrators in the Installation & Integration Excellence Division at the 2025 National Systems Contractor’s (NSCA) Excellence in Product Innovation Awards. 

Presented during NSCA’s annual Excellence in Business Operations (XBO) Experience in Austin, TX, the awards recognize products that have a profound impact on commercial integration, celebrating solutions that advance the efficiency, reliability, and success of integrators across the industry. 

“This is one example of how manufacturers can embrace customers’ needs and provide quality product that actually ‘fits’ needs and with value,” says Jeff Ogborn, Director of Complex Solutions at Gallagher Security. “By understanding the challenges integrators face, we’re able to deliver solutions like QuickSwitch that directly address those pain points and enable more successful project outcomes.” 

Launched in April at ISC West, QuickSwitch gives organizations a faster, lower-risk path to modernization. The solution enables existing cabinets, wiring, and power supplies to be reused when upgrading to Gallagher’s high-assurance access platform, eliminating costly rip-and-replace projects. Available in three variations, QuickSwitch boards are drop-in replacements for common legacy systems, delivering faster installs, reduced downtime, and greater long-term reliability, helping technology professionals deliver more projects with more confidence. 

“QuickSwitch embodies the best of Gallagher’s innovation culture,” says Dave Solly, Senior Product Manager. “It’s about delivering real-world value for integrators, saving them time, unlocking new business opportunities, and helping them deliver better outcomes for their customers. This award is also a reflection of the cross-regional collaboration that brought QuickSwitch to life, with our teams across the Americas, Europe, and New Zealand working together to make migration easier for everyone.” 

The Excellence in Product Innovation Awards celebrate manufacturers whose solutions make a meaningful difference for commercial integrators. Now in its 12th year, the program spotlights the products and technologies driving progress in key growth areas across the integration industry. 

This latest recognition underscores Gallagher’s commitment to developing solutions that simplify complexity and deliver long-term value, helping integrators and businesses alike achieve more through intelligent, connected security.
