The joint offering of Lenel S2 Onguard access control and Milestone Xprotect video management software through the Lenel S2 channel lowers the total cost of ownership for end users and integrators by offering reduced licensing fees and efficient pre- and post-sales support.

“We’re excited to expand this proven, integrated access-video offering to customers globally,” said Jeff Stanek, president, Lenel S2. “This strategic integration will provide our partners the benefit of a leading, unified offering from the top VMS and access control solution providers in the global security industry. This integration includes a seamless user experience and specific interface enhancements across our systems, a direct outcome of the collaborative effort.”

“Customers have reacted very well to our collaboration,” said Kenneth Hune Petersen, chief sales & marketing officer, Milestone Systems. “Rather than being locked into a single provider, customers can work with two leading companies that have real synergies. As security threats become more sophisticated, continuous innovations with strong interfaces between industry leaders are in demand. That’s what this alliance delivers.”

“We are excited that this agreement has been expanded into a global partnership,” said Stephane Baudena, managing director, Fire & Security Products, EMEA, Lenel S2. “This will allow us to leverage the momentum and proven success achieved by the North American team.”

Both companies offer open platform solutions that provide customers flexibility to select the optimal security systems to meet their needs.
