End-to-end solution: Avigilon provides end-to-end solution to its customers, which is a significant advantage over competitors who only provide either the software or hardware for video surveillance. Risks Large competitors: Avigilon’s competitors have a much greater scale, which could impact its ability to compete at the global stage. Ability to innovate: Given that video surveillance can essentially be considered a commodity, Avigilon needs to continue to innovate in order to set the brand apart from its competitors. M&A Integration: There is a risk that the integration of VideoIQ and RedCloud (both acquired in 2013) might not go smoothly and it can impact Avigilon’s ability to leverage the synergies.
