Milestone VMS continues to win international accolades
Copenhagen, Denmark
The Govsec event was held at the beginning of April in Washington, D.C. It was here that Security Products magazine announced the winners of its 2012 "Govies" Government Security Awards that honour outstanding government products in a variety of categories.
"Xprotect Smart Client won the top award clearly because of its ability to meet the needs of the end user," said Ralph C. Jensen, Editor-in-Chief for Security Products magazine. "It is easier to navigate than ever with streamlined functionality for viewing live or recorded video, responding to alarms and exporting evidence."
Shortly after this, Messe Frankfurt held the first-ever Security50 Annual Summit on April18th in Taipei, Taiwan at Secutech. Security 50 exhibits the top 50 companies in the physical security industry based on product revenue. It examines the financial performance of manufacturers to measure the industry’s health. Milestone has now been listed in this group two years running.
All Security 50 participants were required to provide audited financial reports. Only revenue generated from physical security product sales is counted. Global manufacturers are ranked each year by product sales for a fair comparison, where the sales figures exclude service and maintenance revenues that can vary by region. It is not an advertiser index - placement in the ranking depends solely on objective financial data.
Mr. Parson Lee, Managing Director at Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media, says: "Since the ranking's inception in 2003, it has always been a popular annual feature in our A&S International security magazine because it reveals the year's top security players by product sales revenue. Our new Security 50 website now offers industry players an open platform to gather the first-hand security trends and mingle with other sector professionals."
