We’ve long been advocates of the merits of Software as a Service (SaaS) and have always said that we believe there is tremendous potential for this model to disrupt the traditional video surveillance business. Despite our firm belief in this, other providers in the market have been slow to pursue this model and continue to pursue the traditional hardware or enterprise software models. While on one hand this is good for us from a competitive standpoint, it leaves the burden of educating the market on the benefits to a small group of companies, of which we are one.
With that as a back drop I was pleasantly surprised to see an article in Today’s System’s Integrator about the merits of SaaS. I’ll forgive the author for saying SaaS is Security as a Service as the overall article was a reasonable overview of the concepts aimed at an audience that hasn’t spent a lot of time thinking about it.
It’s great to see this becoming part of the dialog in the industry beyond what we’ve been contributing.
