Harnessing technology for a secure future
Christian Ringler, Director EMEA Community Sales and Business Development, Milestone Systems, speaks to Anita Joseph about harnessing technology effectively, using video to enhance security, and how Milestone’s Open Platform can help businesses maximize resources and find the right solution for their problems.
“Milestone is centered on technology-we’re keen on using it effectively and innovating, for maximum advantage,” Ringler said. “At the same time, we also understand that new innovations are fine, but there is a need to know how to use new technology to achieve our goals, especially in retail, transportation and safe city. Video has the immense potential to change things for the better, but first, we need to be aware of what is happening around us.”
“Let me begin with a few alarming statistics. As many as 41 per cent of retailers saw an increase in inventory shrinkage and physical abuse to retail staff doubled last year. Vandalism is the no 1 cause of damage and graffiti and smashed windows incur maximum cost, in transportation. Sadly, despite all this, police response time has also doubled in the last few years. Pollution has increased, even in smart cities and daily living quality is compromised.”
According to Ringler, the Milestone Open Platform steps in to address these problems. It connects different solutions with cutting edge technology, for maximum efficiency. Ours is a platform that goes well beyond security, with several advantages. Milestone also uses the power of You Tube for maximum impact.
