The programme was created to enhance the value of the PSA relationship to its vendor partners and subsequently to its owners and customers. The PSA Premier Vendor Program has a defined process for evaluating vendor partners. By meeting specific and measurable objectives, vendor partners can become eligible for “premier” status. Premier status includes a variety of opportunities to foster brand visibility and increased sales volume.

“I am excited to announce that Iqinvision has qualified as a premier vendor and has joined the ranks in our Premier Vendor Program” said Craig Patterson, PSA’s Director of Vendor Management. “With their strong presence in the IP network camera market, Iqinvision’s addition to an already strong PVP lineup gives our Premier Owners yet another quality option from which to choose.”

“We are very pleased with our elevated PSA partner level,” said Rob Ledenko, EVP Iqinvision. “Our sales have more than doubled with PSA over the last year and our registered project opportunities show no sign of slowing down. This higher level of collaboration will allow us to build new targeted programmes and access a wider customer base, which will benefit from our partnership.”

“We are proud of the Premier Partner programme, and of all of our vendor partners that have achieved PVP status. This status provides increased opportunities to strengthen their relationship with PSA through their demonstrated commitment to PSA owners and customers,” said Bill Bozeman, President and CEO of PSA Security Network. “Committed vendor partners increases PSA’s value as a trusted partner in the security community.”

Since February 2012, PSA has announced a total of 18 qualifying Premier Vendor Partners including Aiphone Corporation, Altronix, AMAG Technology, Arecont Vision, Bosch Security, Clinton Electronics, CSC (Communications Supply Corporation), Exacq Technologies, HID Global, Iqinvision, March Networks, Milestone, Network Video Tech (NVT), Openeye, Pelco by Schneider Electric, Security Lock Distributors, Talk-A-Phone and Videoiq.
