Speaking about the company’s success in Europe, Stefano Torri, European Sales Director at March Networks, said; “Having established its market leadership in North America, March Networks now wants to do the same in Europe. We are making significant investments in our sales, marketing and customer support teams in the region to help drive this expansion, as well as significant investment in our Milan, Italy, R&D centre. With the success that we have seen so far this year, we are looking forward to the rest of 2014 and beyond to further grow our business in this key market.”

With this huge market footprint, March Networks aims to become the key point of reference for European CEOs, Security and IT managers when it comes to IP video surveillance solutions. Its short term objectives are to increase its visibility and market share in European vertical markets and to revamp its regional Partner Program by expanding its channel partnerships in key markets and verticals.

“Our Enterprise class video solutions have already been proven by customer experience in other markets such as North America and Asia,” continued Stefano Torri. “These are now being rolled-out across Europe and many businesses are seeing the benefits these can bring, especially in commercial and industrial multi-site applications where our enterprise class deployments can bring real results and benefits.”
