Industry Acknowledgement and Acceptance of MVaaS
In June, Envysion hosted the second annual Managed and Hosted Video Summit. The sold out event saw attendance increase 50% from last year with attendees representing MVaaS and hosted video providers, industry and channel partners, thought leaders and investors. Sessions highlighted the tremendous opportunity for MVaaS solutions across a myriad of customer verticals and applications.

"The excitement and energy at the Summit really demonstrated the building industry traction for MVaaS solutions. There was a clear consensus that there is a huge opportunity to disrupt the traditional video surveillance market, but we need to come together as an industry to drive customer understanding and appreciation of MVaaS and hosted solutions," says Carlos Perez, vice president of product and marketing at Envysion.

At the Summit, Sony announced a strategic partnership with Envysion to jointly develop end user solutions leveraging Envysion's innovative MVaaS platform and Sony's cutting-edge surveillance technologies. The companies will also work together on a set of commercial and co-marketing efforts, initially targeting cinemas and retailers, including big box and small footprint stores, restaurants, service providers and convenience stores.

Of the partnership, Mark Collett, General Manager of Sony's Security Systems Division, says, "We see Envysion as a leading change agent for transforming the video surveillance market, and Sony's leading network video surveillance products are a natural fit for Envysion's best-in-class MVaaS solution." In addition to the market validation of partnering with a household brand like Sony, Envysion was selected for the 2011 Red Herring Top 100 North America Award for its SaaS-based solutions further confirming Envysion's growth potential and innovative MVaaS solutions. Red Herring's Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies, recognizing the leading private companies from North America and celebrating these startups' innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
