We’ve had a good run at Envysion over the past year in terms of industry accolades and awards for our MVaaS solution. Today I had the opportunity to celebrate another award, this time for our Chairman, Dan Caruso. Dan was honored by the Denver Business Journal in their Power Book edition as the most influential [...]
This has been an interesting last two weeks in both the broader financial markets and in our market for video solutions. I’ve already written about my views on the near to medium term impact on the MVaaS space – I’ve hypothesized that MVaaS providers will do differentially well during tough economic conditions given the strong [...]
I am continually amazed at how limited some large organization’s current video capabilities are today. I always assumed that smaller operators would be at a disadvantage and would have a more minimalist set of video capabilities than the big operators that have large corporate support infrastructures. I also assumed that these large operators, many of [...]
Yikes. It is a crazy time in the world when you see something like the current credit crisis reverberating around the world in such a dramatic and rapid manner. Thomas Freidman wrote “The World is Flat” to highlight the growing global competitiveness and the fact that it is becoming a much more level international playing field. [...]
I spent the entire day today at one of Colorado’s largest gatherings of entrepreneurs and technology companies, CSIA’s DemoGALA. We were there to demonstrate our service having been selected as one of Colorado’s 20 most innovative companies. The theme of the event this year was Deconstruction – Reconstruction and the topics focused on how innovative [...]
It is good to see more SaaS activity in the video market. I was at a function this evening hosted by one of the leading VC and start-up focused banks, Silicon Valley Bank. In addition to having a nice time drinking wine and eating some nice appetizers, I was able to re-connect with another local entrepreneur [...]
I am not an expert in loss prevention. I have only been in the video world for the last three years. Despite my limited experience, however, I have picked up a fair bit about how our customers use exception reporting and video to help aid their loss prevention efforts. The other day I was having [...]
A couple of quick thoughts upon reflection on my trip to ASIS this week… The economy is definitely impacting the end-users (duh!) that normally attend these shows as I heard from several long-time vendor attendees that they were having trouble getting customer meetings and that customers were cancelling their trips to the show at all [...]
As I mentioned last Saturday in a post, I spent the first part of this week in Atlanta at ASIS – one of the two really large security shows each year, the other being the ISC shows (there are two of them, East and West). The thing that I like about the ASIS conference is [...]
Sitting here on a Saturday reflecting on the upcoming ASIS conference in Atlanta this coming week. This will be my 3rd ASIS since starting Envysion and I feel like I finally understand the lay of the land well enough to maximize my time there this week. The first time I went I just walked around [...]
