Convergint Expands Public Sector Expertise with Acquisition of A+ Technology & Security Solutions
In a strategic move to bolster its presence in the Northeast and enhance its integrated security offerings, Convergint, a global leader in service-based systems integration, has announced the acquisition of A+ Technology & Security Solutions. Headquartered in Bay Shore, New York, A+ Technology & Security Solutions is a renowned security integrator with over three decades of experience serving clients across Long Island and the broader Northeastern region. This acquisition reinforces Convergint’s capabilities in key sectors such as K-12 education, higher education, law enforcement, government agencies, municipalities, and commercial enterprises.
The acquisition marks a pivotal step in Convergint’s growth strategy, particularly within the public sector and the Northeastern market. Sean Flint, President of Americas at Convergint, emphasized the significance of this partnership: “This acquisition represents a major advancement in Convergint’s strategic growth, especially in the public sector and across the Northeast. The team at A+ Technology & Security Solutions brings unparalleled domain expertise, a robust local presence, and a commitment to open-standards solutions that align perfectly with our mission to be the best service provider for our customers.”
Founded in 1989 by David Antar, A+ Technology & Security Solutions has built a reputation for delivering comprehensive end-to-end security services, spanning design, installation, and ongoing support. The company’s hallmark is its focus on open-standards solutions, which provide clients with flexible, scalable, and cost-effective systems free from the limitations of proprietary technologies. This approach not only reduces the total cost of ownership but also simplifies procurement processes—a critical advantage for public sector organizations operating under tight budgets and regulatory requirements.
David Antar, Founder of A+ Technology & Security Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about joining forces with Convergint: “Becoming part of Convergint allows us to continue doing what we do best—exceeding our customers’ expectations while contributing to a smarter, safer, and healthier world. Now, with the resources and global reach of Convergint behind us, we can take our mission to the next level. We’ve always prioritized putting people first, and it’s clear that Convergint shares that same philosophy.”
The acquisition brings the entire team from A+ Technology & Security Solutions into the Convergint family, adding a wealth of expertise in cutting-edge security technologies. The newly integrated team specializes in video management systems, access control, virtual guarding, visitor management, and panic and lockdown systems. These competencies complement Convergint’s existing portfolio, enabling the company to offer even more robust and innovative solutions to its clients.
One of the standout features of A+ Technology & Security Solutions is its commitment to open-standards solutions. In an era where interoperability and flexibility are paramount, the company’s approach ensures that clients are not locked into proprietary systems. This is particularly valuable for public sector organizations, which often require adaptable and future-proof solutions to meet evolving security challenges. By integrating these capabilities into its offerings, Convergint is well-positioned to address the unique needs of its public sector clients while maintaining its reputation for excellence in customer service.
The acquisition also underscores Convergint’s dedication to fostering strong local relationships while leveraging its global scale. With A+ Technology & Security Solutions’ deep roots in the Northeast, Convergint gains a strategic foothold in a region with diverse security demands. From securing educational institutions to supporting law enforcement agencies and municipal governments, the combined expertise of both companies will drive innovation and deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each sector.
For Convergint, this acquisition represents more than just an expansion of its geographic footprint or technical capabilities—it reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to its core values of service, integrity, and innovation. As the security landscape continues to evolve, Convergint remains steadfast in its mission to empower organizations with the tools and expertise needed to protect their people, assets, and communities.
