Axis Communications celebrated the grand opening of its newest Axis Experience Center (AEC) in Phoenix, AZ. Featuring an extensive variety of Axis surveillance solutions as well as meeting and demo spaces, the facility will allow Axis to build stronger bonds with partners and customers in the southwest, fostering collaborative growth and innovation to enable smarter and safer communities – both local and beyond.
As Arizona’s capital, Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States with a thriving economy and steadily increasing population, creating a greater need for robust technology solutions that can help enhance security while also driving further prosperity. Local municipalities and law enforcement operations, as well as organizations spanning transportation, retail, logistics healthcare, and education, will especially benefit from Axis’ presence in the area.
Phoenix business community
“Axis’ global reach is just one of the many advantages of partnering with us,” said Bill Wendlandt, Business Area Director, U.S. West at Axis Communications. "Localised, on-site support makes a real difference for our partners and customers, who look to us to provide them with the tools and expertise they need to improve their security, safety, and business intelligence capabilities."
"We at Axis are both honored and excited to grow our relationship with the flourishing Phoenix business community, and we look forward to working directly with our many partners and customers in the area to provide them with the innovative solutions they need to thrive in today's evolving business environment."
