Up until this point, Convergint colleagues in these areas have been focused on selling and supporting mainly electronic security solutions. Partnered with Edwards, Convergint now also provides fire alarm & life safety solutions to the region which include, but are not limited to, intelligent fire and smoke detection, specialty detection solutions, one and two-way emergency voice communication (including mass notification), ADA compliant visual notification, and graphic annunciation solutions.

Expanding the partnership allows Convergint to sell and service Edwards products in the entire state of Iowa. Convergint works with customers to deliver compliant, non-proprietary solutions which avoid sole-source dependency and assure long-term cost competitiveness. With sole-source proprietary systems, a customer will frequently end up paying a sizable premium for any given parts or services they might need over the life of the system. Convergint can help clients migrate out of that situation over time.
