Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software, has hired security industry professional Stephen Jones as Northern Regional Manager in the United Kingdom.

In response to continued growth and development of the partner channel and customer base in the UK, Milestone Systems Ltd. has hired Stephen Jones as Sales Manager for the Northern region. The uptake of IP technology in the physical security sector is creating ever increasing demands for this company's market-leading offerings in open platform IP video surveillance management software, traditionally referred to as CCTV in the UK.

Stephen has been active working with large systems integrators to provide solution design expertise in these industry sectors: construction, defence, education, gaming, local government authorities and utilities. He is proficient in the implementation of a wide range of security and surveillance equipment and technologies including camera types and lenses, telemetry, matrices, video surveillance distribution, recording, management software and compression techniques, structured cable systems, fibre optics, wireless technologies, video analytics such as ANPR and facial recognition software, access control systems, and more.

"Stephen brings to Milestone his strong sales and communication skills for supporting implementation techniques with decision makers and influencers. His proven sales and service skills will help ensure customer satisfaction, in addition to our established partner training, technical support, and further developments for managing major projects, for which we have many exciting plans in sight," says Glenn Fletcher, Country Manager for Milestone Systems Ltd.
