Colombian Company Implements IP Video Surveillance Across Organization

Verint Systems Inc. recently announced that Bavaria, S.A., a subsidiary of SABMiller in Colombia, is implementing the Nextiva IP video management software, along with Nextiva multiport encoders, video analytics and IP cameras from Verint Video Intelligence Solutions in its distribution, bottling and corporate facilities across Colombia.

With the Verint Nextiva solution, the organization will benefit from robust security and mission-critical loss prevention and quality control capabilities.

SABMiller is one of the largest brewing companies worldwide with more than 200 brand offerings and operations in 75 countries on six continents.
