Meriplex acquisition of Vergent : Meriplex Communications, a managed IT and SD-WAN solutions provider, has acquired Vergent Communications, a Dallas-based telecommunications company, for an undisclosed price.

Founded originally in 1992 as Fluent Systems, Vergent Communications is claimed to be among the top 10 providers of system integration services. The company is said to have expanded its portfolio into providing ISP services as the internet continued to grow in the late 1990s.

In 2004, Fluent Systems separated its telecommunications business to become Vergent Communications, which currently provides voice and data communications to businesses across the US.

David Henley – CEO of Meriplex Communications, commenting on Meriplex acquisition of Vergent, said: “Vergent Communications provides Meriplex with an immediate and meaningful footprint in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

“We look forward to continuing Vergent’s successful approach to providing personalized customer service while adding tremendous value via advanced cybersecurity integrations and securely managed IT solutions.”

The acquisition is said to help Meriplex Communications advance its long-term strategy of expanding into various regions to capitalize on growth in the market and exposure to top talent.

Will Gibson – former CEO of Vergent Communications said: “This acquisition provides an opportunity for Vergent Communications customers to benefit from more comprehensive and robust solutions from the Meriplex portfolio with the ability to gain access into more resources from a larger organization.”
