From the Desk of David Sullivan
Valued Partners:
At GSX, we introduced our new portfolio graphic, illustrating our entire product offering of Access Control (Symmetry), Visitor Management (GUEST), Video Management (CompleteView), Business Analytics & Reporting, our PIAM management platform (CONNECT), and our PSIM platform (Control Room). It was our first pass at developing a visual to talk about our entire portfolio, which is truly a differentiator. There was a great deal of buzz around the Control Room product, and we uncovered a number of new opportunities for this product. We are excited about what the Control Room product has to offer.
Over the coming months, we will be working to build on our messaging by placing our portfolio at the center of a large ecosystem of partners to serve the numerous vertical markets that we operate in today. It will become our approach to how we present our products and solutions to both you and the end users. We believe that it will enhance your ability to land key end-user logos and bring you larger opportunities. Along with this new approach, we will continue to advance the technologies included in our portfolio to keep you competitive and at the leading edge of functionality and features.
There has been a lot going on behind the scenes at AMAG. As I am sure you have seen, we have added some big names to our executive management team, enriching our team with deep industry experience. I am personally excited about what we are talking about, and beginning to do. For you, our loyal customer, you too will be excited by what we will be bringing to market. AMAG is moving into its next chapter, and we are certain that you will be glad that you are aligned with us because we will continue to bring you new innovations, making it both easier to do business with us, and provide you with new tools to help you both manage and service your customer base while at the same time provide you new services to offer your end users.
I know that you want to know more about these changes, however, it is a little early for us to be bringing them to your attention, but we are sure that once we do, you too will be excited that you are an AMAG partner.
