On Episode #89 of the Residential Tech Talks podcast, Melanie Niemerg joins us from Clearwater, FL, where, along with her husband Paul, she is owner of Integral Systems, a company that specializes in residential and commercial security and smart home automation.
Integral Systems offers a platform that allows homeowners and businesses to enjoy the benefits of smart technology without “seeing” it. With that goal in mind, their firm is actively involved in their local NARI branch, which is the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. In fact, it was a Linked In post about providing continuing education to this group where we first encountered Melanie. She also presented at the kitchen and bath trade show KBIS last month in Orlando, and then most recently she served as a guest speaker for a class of interior design and automation/integration students at a local technical school.
A former teacher with parents who were both business professors, she has clearly found a way to add even more value to her already important role in her company. As she explains, 2022 is the Year of Yes. Each new opportunity that she embraces seems to lead to another. On the podcast, we learn more about Melanie’s path to co-owning a CI business and a lot more about what kind of technology is finding its way into Integral Systems projects in Clearwater and Tampa, FL.
