AMG Systems is seeing increasing demand for the skills of its growing Professional Services team, which has seen the company undertake a major expansion.
The success of the Professional Services team has seen it accumulate expertise in custom network design, configuration and deployment with a view to serving systems integrators – enabling them to deliver, as AMG states, highly secure, scalable and available networks for more customers installing AMG Systems’ UK-manufactured industrial edge switches.
As a Juniper Networks partner, AMG Systems can offer a complete network solution under one roof. AMG Professional Services is able to design, configure and test the entire network from edge devices (AMG’s specialty), right through to the core network powered by Juniper’s technology.
This simplifies the process for clients and allows AMG to provide a more comprehensive, end to end professional service.
“By combining our expertise in edge networks design for security systems with Juniper’s industry-leading secure and AI-powered networks solutions we can deliver superior network designs for our clients,” Toby Featherstone, Technical Services Manager, AMG Systems, said.
AMG Professional Services has been building up its team of experienced network engineers alongside its networking products for several years now.
AMG believes that this preparation means that the AMG Professional Services team is now ready to respond rapidly and effectively to whatever network design, configuration, hardening and deployment work that it is assigned.
AMG Professional Services can also provide consultancy for the initial phases of a project when security threats are being determined and vulnerability assessments are being carried out.
The team is structured to allow customers to use as much, or as little, help as they require. So, customers can elect to outsource design and network configuration projects end to end, or instead bring AMG’s expertise in for specific roles such as network hardening or testing prior to a new physical security system going live.
“With the advent of AI and increasingly sophisticated video analytics built into surveillance cameras, plus audio analytics in smart sensors and increasing complexity of networks, all challenged by the proliferation of bad actors attempting to disrupt critical services which depend increasingly on those networks, it became increasingly clear to us that focusing on robust design and hardened configuration of network infrastructure met a growing market need,” Steve Clarke, Managing Director of AMG Systems, said. “So, it’s the right time to expand AMG Professional Services. Our skills are set to experience unprecedented demand.”
“We can lead from the pre-sales stage to make sure networks are designed robustly, with redundancy – working all the way through to configuration and testing stages to ensure prompt reliable and scalable solutions are delivered on time and under budget,” Toby Featherstone of AMG Systems, added. “If you go back just 15 years nearly all surveillance systems were analogue CCTV-based.
“Zero networking skills were needed in this market then. However, today AMG Systems increasingly finds itself filling network skills gaps particularly in the UK and Ireland as customers increasingly want to take advantage of the latest intelligent devices which are highly dependent on well configured, highly secure, robust and available networks.”
