In the global VSaaS market, the Omdia report positions Genetec among the top 10 world pioneers
In the global VSaaS market (excluding China), the Omdia report positions Genetec among the top 10 world pioneers, and in the Americas, Genetec ranks as one of the top three companies that gained the most market share.
This performance underscores the company's early leadership in SaaS innovation and the strong momentum of Security Centre SaaS, a hybrid cloud solution built to meet the growing demand for flexible cloud deployments.
Hybrid-cloud approach
“Over 50% of end-users are still going to keep at least part of their security infrastructure on-premises,” said Oliver Philippou, Research Manager, Physical Security Technologies, Omdia.
“A hybrid-cloud approach can enable customers to gradually transition towards a cloud architecture, benefiting from cloud efficiencies while retaining on-premises storage for legal, compliance, or business needs. This flexibility results in cost savings and ensures that customers are not forced into a one-size-fits-all solution.”
Physical security
“The hybrid approach isn’t a stepping stone to the cloud but the baseline for how to deploy physical security leveraging cloud technology," said Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering, Genetec Inc.
"Customers need a flexible solution that respects the unique requirements of their business, recognising that not every company will choose or need to fully transition to the cloud."
