Milestone Systems Announces IT Distributor Partnership With Ingram Micro in Europe

[Editor’s Note: Although this announcement is just for a small territory in Europe, the implication is large: As a tier-1 computer distributor, if Ingram Micro can realize success selling Milestone, it will have a significant impact on the entire physical security industry. If Ingram Micro is not successful, it will keep security products to the more niche distributors. This is a move to watch closely.] Ingram Micro will be distributing Milestone IP video products in Austria, Germany and Switzerland for security and IT integrators to deliver solutions based on open platform technology.
