5202 VidSys, a leading provider of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software that allows organisations to resolve business and security situations in real time, has opened offices in Europe and the Middle East.

Darren Chalmers-Stevens has joined the company as director of business development and will head up the new London office which will manage the company’s European relationships. Prior to joining VidSys, he served as technology development manager for ADT UK&I and as vice president global professional services for Computer Network Limited (CNL).

In the Middle East, VidSys has partnered with Building Defence Systems (BDS), a telecommunications and defense systems company headquartered in Bahrain that will sell and implement the company’s software in public and private organisations throughout the Middle East.

According to Matia Grossi, research manager, physical security, Frost & Sullivan, VidSys is a clear market leader in the rapidly growing worldwide PSIM market. “The functionality provided by a true PSIM solution, such as the VidSys software, where data is converted to actionable intelligence, has become fundamental to cost effectively managing security situations for the public and private sectors,” Grossi says.
