For almost a year, the team at Envysion has been striving to evangelize the unique benefits of applying SaaS technology to the video surveillance market. An initial step in the process was coining a term for the market segment. This is where MVaaS was born.
Initially there was little proof that the term was catching on. But we persisted, established this blog, highlighted it in our press relations, described it to customers…
Then, slowly, we started seeing it here (a competitors website) and there (a hallmark industry on-line publication). It was taking hold! Now it is commonplace to find it mentioned prominently by those who are well-versed in the industry, and who may have an influence on decision-makers. Jeff Gannon compiled examples of this in his recent post.
Here’s the presentation from which Jeff Gannon found the quote from Severin Sorensen, CEO of Sikyur, a security advisory firm. The presentation was delivered at the ASIS International Workshop on Advanced CCTV in August 2008. It is truly exciting to see the momentum building behind this technology!
