SageNet Acquires Convergent

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

SageNet, a Tulsa-based managed network services and cybersecurity solutions provider, has acquired Convergent.

Convergent, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ballantyne Strong, Inc., based in Alpharetta, Ga. (Atlanta) with offices in Toronto, Ontario.

SageNet CEO Daryl Woodard told us “Bringing the already extensive capabilities of our two companies together creates an organization with uniquely broad yet focused expertise,” said Woodard. “Both companies have tremendous experience deploying large, widely dispersed multisite networks with an emphasis on reliability at scale. Combining Convergent’s proficiency in data integration and hyper-targeted marketing with SageNet’s full lifecycle methodology, cybersecurity expertise, multiple NOC/SOCs and nationwide support organization creates a digital experience partner with unrivaled capabilities. The market is currently fragmented, with many companies offering digital signage but few providing turnkey solutions. Even fewer monitor and maintain a system after its launch. Fewer still offer advanced data and device integration. With this acquisition, SageNet is perfectly positioned to provide customers everything they need for a truly holistic and engaging digital experience”.

Convergent will be branded as Convergent, a SageNet Company. Convergent’s leadership team remains in place and both companies will continue to operate as usual as the integration process proceeds.
