Konica Minolta – MOBOTIX partnership

“Having identified VSS as one of the key strategic pillars of focus to drive growth for Konica Minolta, we are extremely excited to expand our partnership with MOBOTIX in the U.S.,” said Vijay Raghavan, Senior Vice President, Digital Transformation and Emerging Businesses, Konica Minolta.

Vijay Raghavan adds, “By taking advantage of MOBOTIX’s strong, secure system, we are aligning ourselves with a best-in-class partner that will allow us to take video security to the next level and safeguard our clients across all verticals.”

Smart solutions that meet cyber security and privacy standards

Thomas Lausten, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), MOBOTIX, said “To understand the importance of this partnership, you have to move away from the concept of traditional video surveillance. In recent years, the needs of end-users have changed significantly. The new demand for video surveillance goes far beyond the concept of security. A smart solution by today’s standards should meet the highest cyber security and privacy standards, such as the US NDAA requirements, and provide end-users with a tangible return on investment.”

Thomas Lausten adds, “We focus on how video can meet customers’ requirements for video analysis. It's no longer just about managing security, but managing and analyzing data, information, and everything related to it as quickly as possible. In this way, we are moving successfully into the future with our strong partners, such as Konica Minolta.”
