Convergint Technologies was formed in 2001 on a core set of Values & Beliefs which remain unchanged to this day and are the foundation of the company’s culture. Central to those principles is a strong dedication to customer service, and Convergint evaluates potential acquisitions based on their alignment with its culture. Altel shares in this commitment to customer satisfaction and service excellence.
