Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), has elevated Samsung Techwin to the status of Elite Partner in the Milestone Camera Partner Program (CaPP).

To be named a Milestone Elite partner, companies must demonstrate outstanding sales, implementation, consulting and support for Milestone Systems solutions and consistently show excellence in business initiatives and marketing.

Both companies have dedicated targeted efforts to elevate the mutual technical and commercial engagement to a new level, resulting in the Elite Camera Partner status for Samsung Techwin.

Samsung Techwin is only one of eight Milestone Camera Partners in the world to achieve this status.

“Milestone’s Elite partner level is the highest standard we offer, which demonstrates a Camera Partner’s commitment in achieving maximum return on investment for customers through superior product knowledge and a focus on long-term customer satisfaction,” says Christian Bohn, Milestone Systems VP Corporate Marketing & Alliances. “Milestone Channel Partners as well as customers now gain the advantage of superior camera technology fully supported by Milestone software with deep Samsung Techwin integration.”

The ongoing relationship between Samsung Techwin and Milestone Systems has been evolving over the past several years, and the announcement of Elite status demonstrates the solidity of an already close partnership.

Cheol-Kyo Kim, CEO Samsung Techwin, was the keynote speaker at the Milestone global partner conference in 2014, where both companies gathered to discuss their future strategies.

“Milestone and Samsung Techwin both bring the global reach that our customers and our ecosystems need, especially for larger projects. Together we have shown a strong and proven ability to drive performance and value in our integrated solutions,” says Jonas Andersson, Senior Vice President for Strategic Marketing, Samsung Techwin. “Cooperation with partners is a top priority for us, and we are excited to be recognized by Milestone with Elite Partner status.”
