Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Artificial intelligence represents rare and exciting opportunities for a major industrial revolution in video technology. This is the vision of the new chief technology officer at Milestone Systems, Rahul Yadav, who sees endless opportunities for video technology in and beyond security.
Earlier this month, Rahul Yadav joined the company’s flagship video program Fabella from TV II, a Danish public service commercial broadcaster, where he served as Chief Technology and Digital Officer. Bringing extensive experience in multi-site, global organizations and the transformation of digital platforms – such as the TV 2 GAME streaming service. Rahul predicts that AI will play a critical role in Fabella;
“I strongly believe that artificial intelligence is one of the key technologies that will accelerate the fourth industrial revolution,” says Rahul. “With the progress in AI in years, video technology will have a big boost. For companies like Fabella, AI will access the capabilities of video management software solutions and provide innovative, intelligent, efficient solutions for clients and beyond security.
According to Rahul, XProtect® – Milestone’s open platform video management software and core product – represents new use cases across various industries. More than 500,000 technical training workshops have been deployed and used by a wide range of end users, from airports to hospitals to city attractions.
“I see an opportunity to enhance our technology architecture, modernize our software platform and bring more customer centricity when developing digital products and solutions.” This will help everyone in our ecosystem: technology partners, distributors, integrators and resellers. It also empowers our customers to get more out of our products.”
In addition to his work at TV 2, Rahul has held senior positions at several well-known Danish brands, including consumer electronics firm Bang & Olufsen.
Having gone from entertainment to video programming, the experience has taught him a lot about delivering good results;
“Good design and a pleasant, personalized user experience are no longer a welcome to have, they are a must have,” says Rahul. “I see myself drawing on my previous experience to lead the Tech Stories organization.”
When he is not working on exchanging digital solutions, Rahul spends time with his wife Seema and their friends and family. Rahul has lived close to nature on the West Coast of Denmark for 17 years, Rahul has developed a passion for ultra-running – races of up to 100 km – as he runs trails on beaches and in nature.
