Bringing together leading security integrators and technology partners from across the region, this year’s Summit took place over 5-8 May.

Carrying the theme “Unite & Ignite for Growth”, the event’s focus reflected the accelerating role of collaboration, innovation, and scalable technology in the evolution of physical security.

A strong and enduring partnership

This latest recognition reinforces Optic’s long-standing relationship with Axis Communications and consistent performance in delivering high-quality, integrated security solutions within the government and critical infrastructure sectors.

"The award is ultimately a reflection of the outcomes delivered to our customers by our exceptional technical and sales teams, and of the strength of the Axis-Optic relationship."

The recognition also reflects Optic’s burgeoning presence in the nation’s capital, delivering a range of mission critical, high security solutions to an increasing cohort of public sector customers.

Axis Communications is a global leader in network video and intelligent surveillance technologies, and Optic’s ability to translate these technologies into operationally effective, risk-aligned solutions continues to be a key differentiator in the market.

At the event to accept the award on behalf of the Group was Mike Cunningham, Managing Director, Mark Lloyd, Group Sales Director, and Grant Hodge, Operations Manager – Queensland and Victoria.

Delivering outcomes that matter

"The award is ultimately a reflection of the outcomes delivered to our customers by our exceptional technical and sales teams, and of the strength of the Axis-Optic relationship," said Mark Lloyd.

As the security landscape continues to evolve—driven by emerging threats, regulatory expectations, and rapid technological change— deep partnerships between integrators and technology providers are increasingly critical.

"We have an incredibly close partnership with Axis, having worked shoulder to shoulder with them across security and public safety projects of national significance over decades," he said.

Congratulations to the team and thank you to Axis Communications for the continued partnership!
