Milestone Systems Press Release Excerpts:

“The market is changing and IP is the new language in video surveillance. For me, moving from a hardware manufacturer to the world-leading IP video management software company is a natural path where my background can support the transitions from CCTV to IP solutions now and in the future,” says Harald Zander. “The German speaking area has always been a strong place for mature solutions developed by camera suppliers and software companies in strong partnerships. I now look forward to working with the Milestone open platform, which is on the forefront with the widest choice in such relationships.”

“At John Lay I supported customers on all elements of designing video surveillance solutions: gathering requirements, doing quotations and product dispositions, providing expertise during setups, as well as controlling performance and results,” says Roger Meier. “When I started working with Milestone IP video software it was very exciting to unlock the door to limitless options through its open platform. Now I will spread this further in the Milestone channel, helping partners to develop new business opportunities.”
