Axis Communications announce today Europe’s first security consultant to graduate as an Axis Certified Professional from its worldwide academy.
The newly qualified Axis Certified Professional is based at CornerStone GRG, an independent global and UK-based security consultancy, and becomes the inaugural Axis architect and engineering partner to successfully complete all the rigorous requirements of the Axis Certification Program; the global industry standard to validate IP video expertise.
Commenting on the achievement, Jon Roadnight, director of CornerStone commented: “Axis certification has really helped us to set ourselves apart from our competitors by validating our expertise to prospective clients – not only with Axis cameras – but also with network video in general. It's the global industry standard in the network video world, very much like the Cisco certification of the IT world – a real unique selling point for us.
Axis has been keyed in the continued drive toward the convergence from analogue to digital video surveillance and has recognized that IP technology offers different challenges to consultants and installers in the surveillance and IT industries.
It recognizes that there is a need for professionals with these skills to be able to validate their credentials across the industries, making it easier for specifies to source the right expertise and reassuring end users. It has therefore added the Axis Certified Professional program to its learning academy.
Atul Rajput, regional director, Northern Europe at Axis Communications explained: “In a similar model to Microsoft and Cisco's certified professionals in the IT world, Axis is keen to help individuals and companies prove their competence and skills in network video surveillance and help them validate this advanced level of knowledge.
