Vitaprotech has announced that it is taking a major step forward in its growth strategy by reshaping its organisation.
The company states that its objective is to offer clients an enhanced experience that is simpler, more consistent and more innovative.
The approach
Vitaprotech states that from 1 July, the group will adopt a new organisation built around strong brands, each dedicated to a specific sales channel.
This approach will provide clients with tailored support, an integrated technology offering and easier access to the group’s full range of expertise – all operated through a single unified platform, including:
- Access control
- Intrusion and perimeter protection
- AI-powered video
“More efficient and more connected”
Éric Thord, CEO, Vitaprotech explained: “We want to make security easier to manage, more efficient and more connected, no matter the site, the country or the type of client.”
HIRSCH
HIRSCH, the international brand resulting from the late 2024 acquisition of the security business of US-based IDENTIV, is dedicated to the systems integrator sales channel.
According to the company, by bringing together under one unified banner the brands TIL Technologies, Sorhea, Cossilys and Neo InSys in France, Harper Chalice in the UK and Protech and Hirsch in the United
States, the group offers a strong, coherent and instantly recognisable brand on a global scale.
This consolidation unifies local and international expertise to provide integrators with
tailored solutions for every region and site type — whether industrial, commercial,
institutional, or governmental.
PRYSM
According to the company, PRYSM, the group’s software publisher, will become the single point of entry for service operators and OEMs.
Formed through the merger of PRYSM and ESI and strengthened by the group’s artificial intelligence expertise, the new Prysm entity establishes itself as the software reference for smart, open and scalable security management.
With a unified offering covering monitoring, PSIM, video management and AI, the company highlights that Prysm enables its clients to deliver customisable, interoperable white-label solutions that are ready for on-premise, hosted or fully cloud-based environments.
The company states that for clients, its tailor-made, white-label solutions are designed for new uses that enable the creation of adaptable security software tailored to each end customer.
Vauban Systems and TDSI
Vauban Systems (France) and TDSI (UK) target the distribution network.
The company says that due to their commercial agility, both Vauban Systems and TDSI make Vitaprotech’s innovation accessible to all distributors seeking reliable, high-performance and intuitive products.
Vauban Systems in France completes its product range by integrating the FoxBox and FoxVigi products from Foxstream.
ARD
Vitoprotech highlights that ARD remains dedicated to clients with high service requirements.
It will offer a complete, turnkey solution combining cutting-edge technologies and premium support.
ARD will continue to serve its portfolio of clients with a diverse and innovative offering, integrating
access control, payment solutions, video surveillance, intrusion detection and intercom systems and will be responsible for marketing and providing services associated with GS4 alert transmission solutions.
The transformation
This transformation is supported by an increase in R&D investments: 25% of the workforce and 10% of revenue are dedicated to innovation, with six key areas:
- Artificial intelligence
- Cloud
- Cybersecurity
- Interoperability
- Unified management
- User experience
“A true performance lever”
Thord later commented: “We combine the best of technologies and talents to help our clients stay ahead.
“With our new organisation, we offer them more than just a solution: a true performance lever,” he concluded.
“The next generation”
Steve Humphreys, Deputy CEO of Vitaprotech commented: “Our goal is to deliver to our customers and partners the most advanced high-security solutions, from the perimeter to the core of the organisation.
“Our advanced access control, video analytics, perimeter security and integrated monitoring platform integrates all key components of physical security.
“Our new organisation combines this focus with the complete range of deeply technical capabilities scale.”
Humphreys concluded: “It positions us as the trusted partner to our customer and the leader in the industry of the next generation of cloud-based, AI enabled, IT-integrated physical security for security-critical applications globally.”
