COPENHAGEN - Milestone Systems, the open platform company within IP video management
software, sets up subsidiaries in Australia and Spain to support continued
long-term business growth in these regions.
Milestone Systems is a demonstrated international leader in the security
industry, with a decade of development behind their robust and proven IP
video management software. Since its inception, the company has consistently
grown and expanded its geographical scope with new country locations.
With the title of Regional Sales Manager for Milestone Systems Australia
Pty. Ltd., Angelo Salvatore is the man now running this new subsidiary based
out of Melbourne, reporting to Peter Biltsted. His operational territory also
covers New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands.
Salvatore is a security industry professional coming from Alloys
International where he helped that company expand with an estimated 20-25% of
the IP security market in Australia in 2007, creating and managing a new
division called AlloysNVP since 2001. Salvatore has been selling Milestone
software since 2003, as part of the authorized Milestone Partner eco-system.
He is also trained and certified in the top Milestone products: both XProtect
Enterprise and XProtect Corporate, and has garnered a wealth of experience
with cameras, networks and hardware related to IP solutions.
Since 2003 Milestone has worked with four major distributors in Australia
(Alloys International, ADI, Anixter and Lan1) and in New Zealand with Channel
Ten and MPA. These involve over 100 active IP video partners in their
combined channels, and more than 60 of these have already been certified in
Milestone software.
“Milestone has been growing about 45-50% annually over the past several
years in this region. Our biggest project to date is with 1,600 cameras. We
have our IP video installed in ports, airports, hospitals and many
educational institutions, including another big project that will grow beyond
1,000 cameras. We also have a number of integration partners in this region,
who have exciting developments going on with Milestone. Our new office here
will support all of these initiatives with local expertise and focus,” says
Peter Biltsted, Territory Manager for ANZ and MEA at Milestone Systems.
In Spain, the new Milestone office in Barcelona is to be managed by
Nikitas Koutsourais, a Spanish national and experienced security industry
businessman who comes from a position as Regional Manager Western Europe for
TYCO International’s CCTV & Access Control Strategic Business Unit, where he
worked directly with the Iberian market. In his new role as Country Manager
for Milestone Systems Spain, he will be reporting to Claus Roenning, with a
focus on both technical support and sales activities with the installing
partners in the Iberian region.
“The Spanish and Portuguese markets are very interesting for security
business because there is strong growth in this sector. In 2006 and 2007,
crime rose by 60% in Madrid alone, according to the police. Milestone has
translated our products and manuals to Spanish, created a Spanish website,
and now open this office to demonstrate our commitment to the area. True
local contact and understanding of regional needs are decisive success
factors,” reports Claus Roenning, Southern European Territory Manager for
Milestone Systems.
The success of Milestone product offerings worldwide can be attributed to
the flexibility and user-friendliness of its open platform, and an
international scope fortified with a focus on local support. Milestone
software is currently available in 17 languages, and the indirect sales model
with distributors and systems integrators in 90 countries ensures the best
local contact with customers.
“Continuing the planned build-up of our international presence, Milestone
is pleased to establish footholds in Australia and Spain. They number 9 and
10 in our growing global coverage with local sales offices. In close
collaboration with our authorized partner network, these subsidiaries enhance
the key customer focus that Milestone provides. With a long-term view to our
channel relationships, we work to provide hands-on assistance for our
partners and customers. These locations fit into our ongoing expansion
strategy for representation in all major markets to give solid support in
local languages and time zones,” explains Lars Thinggaard, President & CEO,
Milestone Systems.
