| Although every Home Management System (HMS) is tailored to the homeowner's 
									lifestyle, this does not mean that the technology is re-invented 
									every time. Most HMS features simply involve configuring the core software. 
									This core software has been continuously refined over the last fifteen years 
									and has an extremely high degree of reliability. 
 So what happens when you want a feature or subsystem that falls outside 
									what is currently available with the core software? ESC's forty-five years of 
									software development experience goes to work customizing your system, working 
									within the core software's tried and true functionality to provide the 
									enhancements you desire.
 
 All new software is first thoroughly tested by the software team.  It is
									then delivered to the hardware team for a second completely independent 
									quality assurance review.  Finally, all software is put through a rigorous
									24-hours-a-day five-day stress test.  All of this testing is performed
									before we arrive at your home for the final system commissioning where
									everything is tested and retested again in the actual environment in 
									which it must work.
 
 A trade magazine once asked us "What is the most essential ingredient to a 
									great design and installation?"  Our answer:  "Reliability.  If the system 
									does not work reliably, nothing else matters."  This is one of those simple 
									truths that until someone actually says it, it goes unrecognized.  We 
									recognized the truth of it many years ago, and we still recognize it today.
 
 
 
										| None of the software running your Home Management System will be "beta 
												software." 
 All of the software running your Home Management System will be 
												fully tested, fully qualified, and fully stressed to earn its place in your
												HMS.
 
 It has to be.  Our reputation, our business, and our future depend upon it!
