Cathexis wraps up successful national roadshow

Cathexis Technologies successfully concluded its national CathexisVision Roadshow. With events held in Durban, Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg and Cape Town, the objective was to take the Cathexis story to all current and prospective partners, customers, key decision-makers, installers, integrators, consultants and end-users across the country. This would provide delegates with the opportunity to test-drive the latest technology, while gaining insight into the future of security trends.

Local product with global recognition

“Since our establishment over two decades ago, Cathexis has established itself as world-leader in the video management software sector,” said Gus Brecher, managing director of Cathexis Africa and business development director of Cathexis Technologies. “Our CathexisVision software solution is a 100% South African product offering, which has been sold and deployed in over 45 countries around the globe.”

CathexisVision offers users the ability to make key-decisions based on intelligent information processing, and to automate actions in the control room or command centre environment. This provides enhanced effectiveness and efficiency, and a superior return on surveillance investment. CathexisVision VMS has transformed the market by demonstrating that it is far more than just another surveillance or security system, but a comprehensive offering with the capability to help organisations manage their entire operations.
