This new partnership between Openview and Bold builds on the unique strengths of both companies. Combining OpenView’s project delivery expertise with Bold’s specialized development and support skills will help to de-risk installations and ensure that control rooms deliver the highest level of service.”

The monitoring platform is now the central receiving and processing point for a wide range of security products and applications including fire and intruder alarms, public address systems and CCTV networks.

The increasingly complex nature of such integrated systems demands the highest level of technical skills and resources making the relationship between software suppliers and systems integrators more important than ever.
Andy Ward, Sales Director of OpenView Security Solutions, added: “This partnership is a natural fit as both Openview and Bold are engineering-based companies with outstanding reputations in the security industry because of the quality of their work and longstanding client relationships. Together, we will be providing public sector clients with robust, reliable systems that provide the highest level functionality without the complexity or project risk associated with other solutions.”
