i-Pro No Longer A Solutions Provider, Declares CEO
Manufacturers focusing on solutions are increasingly predominant. Not just companies like Avigilon/Motorola and Verkada but even Axis which declared itself "one platform to replace them all."
However, in a recent conversation with i-Pro's CEO Masato Nakao, Nakao stressed how this is a new i-Pro independent of Panasonic and no longer a solutions provider.
In this note, we examine i-Pro's change and how this contrasts with competitors including Avigilon, Axis, and Verkada.
