The new offering is powered by Convergint’s strategic partnership with Rapid Response, a leading provider of professional monitoring services, enabling Convergint to provide the best-in-class service and response times that enterprise customers demand.

Convergint Monitoring is focused on the needs of mission-critical, enterprise customer segments, such as financial services, healthcare, utilities, and the federal government.

The fully integrated monitoring platform includes a mobile app for on-the-go account management and comprehensive access to activity history. Further complementing these features, customers will also have the ability to send and receive SMS text messages and to manage a notification service, authorizing immediate intervention and action when necessary.
