Genetec
Came across an article this morning written by Jean-Philippe Dcarie in the LaPresse newspaper of Montral concerning Genetec who is the most important software designer and supplier of video surveillance in the world. Here are a few facts about this company.
-Founded in Montreal 1997 by Pierre Racz, an electrical engineer
-Offices in Montreal, Paris, London,Singapour and Mexico
-40% revenue from public institutions (hospitals,schools, universities,airportsand subway systems including the New-York subway
-40% revenue from the industrial sector (petrolium companies, mining sector, etc...)
-20% revenue from the commercial sector
-responsible for the management of the 200,000 video surveillance cameras installed in all the Target stores in the USA
-They are present in 159 countries
-1,500 employees in the province of Quebec (800 of these employees are software engineers developping new solutions for clients)
-since it was founded back in 1997,never needed outside investment ,always auto-financed its growth
-30% annual growth rate
-Genetec is a private company owned by Pierre Racz, the CEO and by Alain Cot, the CFO.
These are pretty awsome facts and numbers.
As a current Gatekeeper shareholder, i just hope Genetec leaves us a few crumbs on the table....

Thats very impressive, sounds like they're producing multiple contracts monthly. All I wish is we had some news flow. I brought my horse to this well but it sure isn't drinking.
