Convergint Technologies, SDM's Systems Integrator of the Year in 2007, recently was named by Axis Communications as its North American National System Integrator of the Year for 2007. Axis presents the award annually to its partner that best demonstrates the commitment to a true strategic partnership.

“The National System Integrator (NSI) program is a key North American initiative for system integrators that offer network video solutions,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications Inc. “We congratulate Convergint Technologies on receiving the Axis Communications 2007 North American National System Integrator (NSI) of the Year award for its outstanding efforts in growing and educating the network video market.”

 

In more than 20 markets across the United States and Canada, Convergint designs, installs and services complex electronic security systems that often include IP-based video surveillance solutions. The company’s core integration business also includes fire alarm and life safety, and building automation systems.

 

“For Convergint, nearly 8 out of every 10 video installations are IP-based,” says Dan Moceri, Convergint Technologies chief executive officer and co-founder. “Convergint has taken a leadership position in helping customers navigate and overcome the complexities of IP-based security installations and service. Partnering with industry-leading manufacturers like Axis Communications not only helps our company consistently deliver a superior and reliable product, but it also enables us to deliver maximum value and the highest levels of service excellence.”

 

“We’re proud to partner with Convergint Technologies to provide best-of-breed products and services to our end users,” Nilsson said. “The growth of this national account is strengthened by Convergint’s growing recognition as one of the industry’s most trusted security integrators. Our relationship continues to be mutually beneficial; it’s a win-win situation for both of us.”
