SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--()--Convergint Technologies, a global leader in service-based systems integration, today announced a partnership with Dragonfruit AI, the industry-leading enterprise video AI platform. The partnership further enhances Convergint Technologies' service capabilities by providing customers with the ability to leverage existing video infrastructure data to drive innovation across the enterprise.

As companies continue to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, use cases for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and computer vision are extending far beyond security, fire, and life safety. Convergint Technologies’ customers now can activate Dragonfruit AI’s turn-key solution on top of their existing video infrastructure to attain business intelligence, helping them make informed, data-driven decisions to streamline efficiencies, drive automation efforts, and lower costs.

“This past year, we saw a dramatic acceleration of digital transformation themes, allowing us to experience the versatility and value business intelligence can bring to traditional security functions,” said Eric Yunag, Vice President of Technology & Innovation, Convergint Technologies. “We’re thrilled to partner with Dragonfruit—we’ve seen a strong desire among our customers to use emerging technology like computer vision to validate social distancing, analyze workflows, footfall traffic, and so much more. Our customers will greatly benefit from the streamlined integration into their existing systems and unique consumption cost model, making it easier for them to quickly deploy this technology.”

Dragonfruit is an AI-powered SaaS solution, with a unique priced-by-consumption model allowing enterprise teams to selectively choose which camera or location to utilize for business intelligence purposes. The platform provides a holistic view across all video devices and locations, allowing customers to efficiently investigate safety and loss prevention incidents, optimize occupancy, and perform real-world traffic analysis to help deliver actionable insights.
