ONSSI acquires Seetec
Pearl River, NY (USA)
Video Management Software
company OnNet Surveillance
Systems, Inc.
(ONSSI) has
signed a definitive agreement to
acquire Seetec AG, a privately
held German-based company
providing VMS solutions to
European markets.
As one of the first providers of
network-based video management
applications, Seetec provides
customers with targeted solutions
aligned with customer require-
ments and industry-specific
processes.
The agreement combines the
strengths of ONSSI and Seetec
by leveraging ONSSI's Ocularis
VMS platform with Seetec's ad-
vanced logistics suite of products,
delivering an efficient solution for
end users and channel partners
alike.
"This acquisition is important
for our growth, diversification
and global presence strategies",
said Gadi Piran, ONSSI's Presi-
dent and CTO. "Seetec is highly
regarded in European markets
for its software development,
client services and outstanding
customer relationships. They will
continue to provide these services
locally, while working together
with ONSSI to expand glob-
ally. I could not ask for a better
partner than SeeTec to grow and
deliver increased value to ONSSI
customers."
The combination of ONSSI's
leading position in many vertical
markets and Seetec's focus on
video-based business and logistics
add-on modules will create strong
VMS solutions across multiple
vertical markets.
"Joining forces with ONSSI
gives Seetec customers a strong
long-term and global perspective.
Seetec technology will continue
to be a driving force in the indus-
try with additional opportunities
and resources", says Stephan
Rasp, CEO of Seetec AG. "We
look forward to bringing both
companies together in this effort."
Three secure communication companies become one
Stockholm, Sweden
In March 2015 a major player
in the secure communication
sector was formed, as Multicom
Security AB, Safetel AB, Safetel
AS
and Securinet AS join forces
to form Addsecure.
Its sights are firmly set on
achieving growth through an at-
tractive range of products and high
customer satisfaction. Boasting
in excess of 100,000 customers,
Addsecure will turn over in the
region of MSEK 400 in Scandina-
via. It aspires to become a leading
player in northern Europe and the
logical choice for customers on the
Scandinavian market.
"We're delighted to have finally
secured the deal," says Stefan Al-
bertsson, CEO for Addsecure, as
he sums up the advantages of the
fusion.
"Merging the companies allows
us to offer the best quality from
a range of fields ­ we'll focus on
service where we do it best, and
technology likewise. To achieve
success, we must pool our existing
strengths and exceed the market's
expectations."
The merger will also enable
more opportunities for invest-
ment in product and market
development, while there are clear
synergies created by the provision
of complementary products and
overlapping customer portfolios.
"We've been tasked with
strengthening in every area," adds
Albertson. "In size, professional-
ism, innovation and not least,
interaction with the customer.
Excelling in one area is no longer
enough."
Addsecure is well positioned to
secure market share in Scandina-
via and expand into new markets
across northern Europe. The new
company was officially launched
on Monday 23 March, with cus-
tomers, partners and distributors
greeted by the new motto, "Have
a safe day".
The owners are GMT Com-
munications Partners LLP, Viking
Venture AS, Follum Invest AS and
B. Skaugen AS.
"We're delighted to have finally secured
the deal," says Stefan Albertsson, CEO
for Addsecure.
