CULTURE, LEADERSHIP, AND SERVICE

We’re actively seeking quality 
companies to join Convergint Nation

ACQUISITION PROCESS

An acquisition is not a simple transaction but is the beginning of a long-term relationship. Most of the former owners of the businesses we have acquired are still with Convergint today. We have achieved this result by treating all stakeholders with fairness and respect. Our transaction process is confidential, transparent, efficient, and fair.  Our long track record of acquiring some of the best integrators in our industry speaks for itself.

Convergint’s rapid growth in recent years is largely due to our extensive acquisition strategy. In fact, 2/3 of our colleagues today have joined our team in just the last few years. We are always actively seeking opportunities to further expand our market presence and enhance our service capabilities. 

We are committed to being our customers’ best service provider. In order to meet the diverse and growing needs of our customers, we are actively seeking acquisition opportunities that enable us to:

  • Extend our geographic reach so we can be closer to our customer
  • Expand our technological and vertical market expertise
  • Enhance our service capabilities by attracting and retaining talented colleagues and leaders

Unlike most companies that make frequent acquisitions, our focus is on improving service to our customers – not cutting costs (i.e. people). A successful acquisition is one that makes us better together than either company would be on its own.

Introduction and Non-Disclosure Agreement

Like any relationship, it all starts with a conversation.  We want to learn about you and your business and to answer your questions about ours in an informal context. If we both come to the conclusion that we want to take the conversation further, we will enter into a non-disclosure agreement that protects your interests so that we can exchange confidential information.  

Preliminary Information Gathering

We have developed a two-step process that allows us to determine whether our combined cultures would be a good match, the value of your business, how we think the transaction should be structured, and how quickly we expect to complete the transaction, all with a high degree of confidence.

Indication of Interest and Letter of Intent

Once we have received the requested information, we can generally formulate a specific proposal within three weeks. If we reach agreement in principle on price and the key terms of our proposal, the next step is to prepare a formal written letter of intent which sets forth the terms and conditions upon which we propose to acquire your business.  

Due Diligence and Documentation

Once the letter of intent has been signed, we will commence our formal due diligence examination of your company.  The purpose of the due diligence examination is to verify the information that formed the basis of our proposal. Due diligence typically requires 60-90 days to complete. Both parties negotiate and sign a purchase agreement and a variety of ancillary documents to effect the transaction. 

Closing
and
Integration

The final step in the transaction process is the closing.  Documents are signed and the purchase price is paid.  Closings typically occur within 90 days of signing the letter of intent. As the closing date approaches, we will lay out the steps to gradually integrate your colleagues into the Convergint family. Integration is essential to successful acquisitions and we have developed best practices to ensure a smooth and efficient transition for all.

CONVERGINT CULTURE

Being our customers’ best service provider requires a shared commitment to service excellence and a consistent set of values and expectations across our entire organization. Our customers expect us to deliver on our commitments. We rely on our colleagues across the globe to make it happen. Our culture and, in particular, our daily commitment to our Values & Beliefs is what makes it possible. We believe so strongly in this premise that cultural compatibility is our most important acquisition criteria.
