Convergint to Purchase Prosys Services, Expand Presence in Australia

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Convergint announces the acquisition of Prosys Services, an Australian tier-one provider in security management.

Prosys Services is Convergint’s third acquisition in Australia, adding 124 employees, a deepened presence in New South Wales, and a new office in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

“From its focus on continuous development to its strong company culture, Prosys has an incredible reputation built on a long-standing commitment to innovating for the future of security technology,” says Tony Wang, CEO of ICD Security Solutions, Convergint’s APAC subsidiary. “This acquisition further accelerates our growth strategy in APAC and allows us to extend our best-in-class service delivery to global enterprises in the region.”

Since 1988 Prosys Services has provided enterprise-grade security management systems to commercial and industrial clients, tertiary institutions, critical infrastructure, health departments, the construction industry and other large corporations.

Headquartered in Sydney, the company has established offices in Queensland, ACT, Western Australia and Victoria, and it specializes in the data center, financial services and higher education industries. Prosys’ capabilities in video analytics, access control and video management systems are well-aligned with Convergint’s digital transformation business and global strategy, the announcement states.

“Convergint’s global presence, leadership team, and service-based approach to security systems delivery is undeniably the right fit for Prosys,” says Matthew Magi, executive director, Prosys Services. “We’ve spent the last 34 years focused on our people, on innovation, and on the future of our industry, and joining forces with Convergint is a natural next step for us.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed and is subject to customary closing conditions and completion of regulatory review.

Convergint previously acquired Western Australia-based Cerberus Technologies in 2020 and Victoria-based Integrators Australia in 2018.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses.

When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
