Faced with increasing development workloads and evolving end-user needs, the client sought a dependable, adaptable partner who would help streamline their budget.  

The primary objective of Bosch was to build a cutting-edge CCTV and video surveillance solution tailored for high-profile European clients. One of the critical expectations was to ensure reliability and high performance under intensive usage.
