BOSTON, October 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Salient Stills, the leader in video forensics and image enhancement, today announced the addition of Jean-Philippe Fortier as Regional Sales Manager for Europe. In this position, Fortier will manage sales of Salient Stills' VideoFOCUS PRO video forensics systems to European law enforcement and government security agencies processing crime scene and surveillance videos.
As in the United States, European law enforcement agencies can often speed investigations by utilizing crime scene and surveillance video. Unfortunately, many times these videos are of poor quality, and require technical processing skills, creating a video processing backlog, said Laura Teodosio, president and CEO of Salient Stills. Jean-Philippe's security industry experience ensures he can help investigators apply video forensics technology to investigations, and reduce processing backlogs by arming investigators with VideoFOCUS Pro. While sales in Europe have been strong, we expect Jean-Philippe's local presence will generate even more revenues there.
Prior to joining Salient Stills, Fortier was a Country Manager for Optenet, a provider of SaaS and on-premise IT security systems. He was also a Business Development Manager for Agnitio, a leading provider of voice biometrics solutions for security, police, and intelligence agency forensic investigations. The Canadian born Fortier has worked extensively in Europe, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, specializing in security systems sales and support to large enterprises, and law enforcement and government agencies.
Given the number of videos that investigators need to process, demand is high for video forensics systems. Salient Stills' VideoFOCUS Pro meets this demand, particularly given its ease of use -- field investigators have an all in one tool to extract video, convert it to popular formats for easy playback, and isolate and generate clearer still images, said Fortier. There is already a high level of interest in VideoFOCUS Pro and I look forward to helping investigators apply the technology to more quickly advance investigations.
