A Kanata tech firm known for helping to secure some of the world’s biggest banks is looking to increase its footprint in some of the retail sector’s smallest businesses.
March Networks, which develops video surveillance technology, said this week that it was rolling out a software-as-a-service offering aimed at convenience stores.
The local company – which was acquired by Chinese holding company Infinova in late 2011 for $90 million – believes it can win new customers by eliminating the need for individual stores and chains to purchase and maintain their own IT infrastructure.
