Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced Canon Europe has signed an agreement to acquire Denmark-based Milestone Systems A/S, among the world’s leading providers of open platform video management software, via its subsidiary Canon Europa N.V. The new combination will create a formidable player in the fast growing network video surveillance market by combining the strengths of Canon’s innovative imaging technology with Milestone’s best-in-class video management software expertise.
