GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA – JANUARY 2013  – Confiance IP Solutions is pleased to announce that effective January 1, 2013 it will begin operating under the Onepath Systems name. In February 2012, Onepath Systems, LLC acquired Greensboro, North Carolina-based Confiance IP Solutions, Inc., bringing together two very well established and respected names in the technology industry to expand their product offerings and better serve their customers.

Confiance, a Gold-Certified Cisco Partner, Cisco Master Managed Services Partner and EMC Velocity Affiliate Elite Partner, has provided world-class consulting services that help their customers to incorporate advanced technologies into their core business for the past five years. Their work has been recognized by the industry as the 2010 Cisco U.S. and Canada South Region Services Partner of the Year, the 2010 Cisco Carolinas Select Enterprise Partner of the Year and a winner of the 2011 Triad Business Journal’s Fast 50 Award as one of the fastest growing companies in the region. The merger with Onepath Systems has allowed them to reach a broader audience to offer quality products and services, including their popular and unique network and system infrastructure monitoring service, Guardian Support Services.

“The Confiance team is excited take the final steps to fully integrate our business into the Onepath family. We are already reaping the benefits of our expanded geographic presence in the Southeast, as well as adding Onepath’s intelligent building technology solutions and services capabilities,” says Mike Cotrone, Executive Vice President of Onepath Systems and Confiance co-founder.

“At the end of the day, the robust offerings that Onepath Systems can now offer and deliver to our collective customer base are key. The single, larger organization only enhances the focus we are able to provide our customers, coupled with a broader range of solutions and services.”

Created by a team of respected professionals with over 100 years of combined experience, Onepath Systems is an established leader in the southeastern U.S. building technology industry. Always remaining on the cutting edge of the latest technology, their services and products include consulting, design, implementation and maintenance of audio-visual, IT, fire and life safety, security, structured cabling, access control and distributed antenna systems for Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions and state and local government agencies. Onepath Systems was honored as #2 on the 2011 Georgia Fast 40 in the Small-Middle Market category as well as #12 on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Top Workplaces for 2011.  Ultimately, Onepath credits its success to having the right people on board. The North Carolina operation is a perfect fit for their culture, service offering and expansion.

“We are pleased to have added the fantastic team in Greensboro,” says Chad Merrill, Executive Vice President of Onepath. “Our additional Cisco capabilities, EMC solutions and managed services offerings through our proprietary Guardian managed services are now available to the Atlanta market and the reception to our increased capabilities has been outstanding.
