Corporate Story

Milestone Systems was founded in 1998 upon a dream to build a software development company that could improve business through managing and distributing digital video data regardless of time or location. Co-founders Henrik Friborg and John Blem saw that their experience in developing IP technology for real-time data systems in the European financial sector could also be applied to the handling of video images.

At that time, digital video technology was not in use in the security surveillance industry. Milestone had to overcome much skepticism in the market about their pioneering ideas: people doubted their vision would revolutionize the industry. These people were in for a big surprise.

Coming from such a small country as Denmark, Milestone set up its business from the outset with an international scope.  In order to efficiently reach customers in distant markets, they organized selling their software through regional and local partners who believed in their dream and welcomed the technological advances.  The business took off around the globe.

To fuel the commercial development of the organization, more like-minded professionals were hired: CEO Lars Thinggaard and a sales team of account managers, top software system architects, expert support staff, marketing and technical documentation talent. Everyone in the Milestone universe shares the same entrepreneurial spirit and belief in the benefits to be gained from IP technology.

Today, Milestone Systems is established as a world-leading provider of true open platform IP video management software, with alliance and solution partners on the forefront of the industry.  Business operations reach out from the headquarters in Copenhagen to subsidiaries and sales offices currently in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and the U.S.
