The IT distributor Ingram Micro and Quanika have agreed a distribution agreement. Quanika’s software, already in used in the NHS and at distribution and manufacturing sites, allows third-party systems to be integrated. This can include intruder alarms, fire, and building management systems; and operations-specific business management databases, systems, or devices. The company says that its modular, ready-made approach means that Axis Communications’ network cameras, video management software, access control, and audio products can be integrated into any system, of any size, from stand-alone sites to multi-location projects.
As well as providing new integration routes for security systems installers, the agreement opens project options for Ingram Micro’s customers – ICT systems integrators, allowing them to deliver modular, off-the-shelf solutions using Axis’ security products for the first time.
Raj Pandya, Director Specialty Solutions, Ingram Micro, said: “This development is so important because it will unlock new opportunities for ICT integrators and consultants. For the first time it allows Ingram Micro customers to bring together best-in-class video, access and security products from Axis Communications, as part of a complete integrated system, under the easy, off-the-shelf Quanika umbrella.”
Quanika Compact is software for small-to-medium applications in healthcare, retail, manufacturing, logistics and similar locations, giving users the ability to tie together and manage multiple sites. Quanika Enterprise is for larger facilities and enterprises, including multi-purpose buildings, hotels, transport hubs, hospitals, and universities, for use across estates.
