Reasons for the steady growth and high profitability point to the well-functioning open platform technology, robust partner success and a strong business model. The standalone Canon relationship model is also an illustration of solid backing and trust, which reinforces positive support of Milestone and appreciation by the partners.

“Milestone has been the global market leader in VMS for more than a decade, which shows that our open platform strategy is steadily growing stronger,” states Lars Thinggaard, President and CEO, Milestone Systems. “We aim to continue this success with our enthusiastic community of partners and employees.”

In terms of expectations for the future, Milestone’s outlook is solid with a purposeful focus on community collaboration which is expected to bring Milestone and its partners to the next level of developments. Industry analysts forecast continued growth in the video surveillance market, and Milestone will expand its portfolio of innovative products together with the community of channel partners, camera vendors, technology providers, solution partners and customers.
