Axis Communications, the network video product company, was joined by partners for two showcase events; one in the UK.
The November events were over two days in two countries – day one in Sopwell House, St Albans, Hertfordshire, and day two at Axis headquarters in Lund, Sweden. Each saw more than 30 partners showing business management applications, hardware, physical access controls, security applications, transmission and storage and video management software. A total of 230 people attended the UK event and 210 in Sweden.
Doug Adams, Axis Business Development Manager for the Application Development Programme and Technology Partner Programme said afterwards: “The Axis Northern European team were delighted to put on such a great event last week. The showcase open days hosted in the UK and Sweden were extremely valuable to our visitors. We had over 30 software and hardware partners showcasing their solutions to our system integrator partners, distribution partners, consultants and end users.
“With the visitors able to see a large number of leading expert companies that support Axis products to deliver proven network video and access control solutions. This demonstrated the strength and depth of what our Application and Technology partner programs can bring to the market today. This ultimately leads to end users having more choice in Axis Solutions with bringing a best of breed approach to the market. “
Sebastian Jensen, Global Sales Expert at exhibitor SeeTec said: “The event itself was fantastic, all the visitors was really excited and was interested in what we had to show. I would say that this event was the best event I ever participated in, from all perspectives and I really hope that this event will come up again next year.”
Agnetha Kleiner, Partner Manager for Securiton added: “Both Axis Partner Showcases in the UK and Sweden have not only been excellent by being very well organised and placed in high profile venues, but also due to the vast number and high quality visitors, with whom we were able to have one-on-one discussions and product presentations. It proved to be a perfect forum for creating an in-depth network of hard-and software manufacturers, system integrators, end-customers and other interested parties.
“Not only specific projects were discussed and brought to a next level, but also completely new partnerships or integration scenarios between manufacturers themselves were formed, in order to provide overall system solutions satisfying end-customer requirements. We would be very happy to participate at such event on an annual basis.”
