“The past several months have seen a dramatic increase in the interest in access control platform for projects that will require additional engineering resources as we improve our technology to meet the stringent compliance and other requirements of our client,” said Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount.” This contribution will also improve our ability to develop new applications.”
“Viscount aims to continue to expand its presence in the U.S. Federal Government space, including agency clients within the Department of Homeland Security,” Pineau commented. “Such high-profile clients mean we need to accelerate the development of our core technology with a view to readying it for their specific commercial applications”.
