“As a security system service provider, Force’s strong customer focus in both commercial and government spaces will enable our VSS business unit to truly offer end-to-end solutions, using our award winning AI software and solutions and Force’s strong service-based approach,” said Vijay Raghavan, Senior Vice President, Digital Transformation and Emerging Businesses, Konica Minolta U.S.A. “Combined with our already successful VSS portfolio, we look to help our customers execute on the next generation of AI-driven IOT security services.”

Through its consultative approach, Force performs thorough risk assessments and strives to educate its clients on the benefits of effective security processes, policies and supporting electric security technologies that ultimately mitigate risk and exposure for their clients.

“At Force, we are laser focused on providing our customers state-of-the-art, proactive security services and products so they won’t be left vulnerable,” said Ken Kocher, President, Force Security Solutions. “We could not be more excited to join Konica Minolta U.S.A. and be part of its growing video security solutions.
