A Recent Press Release - What is in it for our Clients?


The following is the opening paragraph of a recent press release issued by Xceed ID regarding One Source Industries newest relationship.

XceedID and One Source Industries Form Technology Partnership

GOLDEN, COL. – XceedID, a leading manufacturer of contactless cards and readers, and One Source Industries, an online provider of identification products, have formed a distribution partnership in which One Source customers have access to XceedID's vast portfolio of products, including proximity cards.

As I asked above, what is in it for our clients?   Tested Performance!  Actually, a very reliable, lower priced alternative in access card and card reader technology.  So what is the real advantage to working with One Source Industries and Xceed ID?  Well even though this press release was recently issued, the relationship between these two companies has been a long standing one with One Source Industries becoming one of the largest distributors of Xceed ID products in the U.S.

We have had the opportunity to test these cards in many applications over the past 12 months with great success. This means you now have a viable alternative.  We have found several companies now producing cards and/or readers attempting to match the quality of these products.  Guess what?  No Luck!!  Not even close!!  Don't do it!!  Failure rates are high and DOA rates out of the box are unacceptable.  Take my word on it we have seen them and used them.  

The other advantage you receive through Xceed ID, is the terrific support and warranty on all products, backed by One Source Industries expertise and the deep pockets of Ingersoll Rand, parent of Xceed ID, this is a win, win for the client.
Wait no longer.....the reliability and service is now available and the pricing helps save your security budget.

Until next time....

Gary Woodward - A Brief Background on the President/CEO

The start of 2011 has been busy with our newly developed website and now a Blog to better assist with keeping you informed about the Access Control/Photo ID Industry as well as new developments at One Source Industries.  As I will often post to our Blog I wanted to give you a brief history of my background, just so you know my experience and credentials within the industry.  Hopefully this is not too boring, but lends credibility to the information I will provide in the future.

A Brief Bio


Since 1984 I have worked and consulted with a variety of companies ranging from small business start-ups, to established Fortune 500 companies, as well as airports, universities, hospitals and government entities.

With 27 years experience in the security industry and more that 22 years experience in access control and ID badging,  I have gained deep and expert knowledge in the security industry.  My desire to share this knowledge was the impetus for starting One Source Industries in 1998.  Since then I have been fortunate to be able to provide sound advice and quality product solutions to companies wishing to secure their facilities through a sound access control and badging plan.

One Source Industries is specifically designed to consult with, design and provide the products that secure their facilities and employees.  Prior to incorporating One Source Industries, I served as a security consultant and design engineer for the largest security company worldwide, ADT Security, as well as National Guardian (SecurityLink) and Foreline Security.

  • Designing, developing and implementing access control and Photo ID badging plans and systems for fast-paced, quick growing companies as well as major Fortune 500 companies.
  • Working as an advisor to security managers, HR personnel as well as CEO’s and CPP’s.
  • Introducing and implementing a variety of high technology and state-of-the-art products to help secure and identify.
  • Supporting clients by streamlining security plan changes and system upgrades.
 A few past projects include design and consultation for:

General Electric, Los Angeles World Airport, Compaq Computers, Arthur Andersen, Raymond James, Xerox, University of Chicago, Denver International Airport, Capital One, Jacksonville Electric, JPMorganChase and Tenent HealthCare.

Thank you for reading this bio and I hope you found it a least a bit informative.
