"As an independent, privately held manufacturer of IP-based physical security solutions, we reinvest a much larger proportion of our annual top-of-the-line revenue in R&D than the industry average," said Pierre Racz, President of Genetec Inc. "Our independence and determination have helped us earn the trust of our customers at both the enterprise and government levels. We want to delight our customers. Circumstances have prompted us to speak openly about issues such as privacy and cybersecurity."
"These factors, along with good fortune, strong relationships with our partners, as well as having a great team, are some of the factors that explain why our solutions are attractive," explains Racz. "We will continue to reduce the friction with which our customers integrate new sensors and other systems for their operations' decision-making."
