Convergint
The world's leading service-based systems integrator, protecting people and property through fire alarm, life safety, and security technologies.
#1 systems integrator, eight years running.
Convergint is a global, service-based systems integrator ranked #1 by SDM Magazine for eight consecutive years. With $2.6 billion in annual revenue, 10,000+ colleagues, and 220+ locations worldwide, Convergint delivers fire alarm, life safety, electronic security, and building automation solutions to commercial, enterprise, healthcare, and government clients.
Their service-first culture is built on colleague-ownership of a set of values and beliefs, not a franchise model. This creates a consistent client experience whether you are in San Francisco, Singapore, or London. Their Career Development Program (CDP) trains new account executives through a rigorous process: technical bootcamp, field mentorship, and progressive account responsibility.
Convergint holds the rare position of being both a technology-agnostic integrator and a certified service partner for every major fire alarm manufacturer — Notifier by Honeywell, Edwards (Kidde), Simplex (Johnson Controls), Siemens, and others.
