03.11.2008 — Osterville, MA—Savant Systems LLC, with a visionary approach to home automation that emphasizes reliability and a maintenance-friendly open platform, has announced the appointment of Convergence Marketing, Inc. as sales representative for the Mid-Atlantic US states.

Founded in 1998, Convergence Marketing provides service to specialty audio, video, and home automation product lines and operates from offices located in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Convergence Marketing provides manufacturers and retailers in the Mid-Atlantic region with effective promotion and sale of quality A/V products, specializing in helping their clients overcome the challenges of integrating today’s audio, video, and computer technologies.

Convergence Marketing is very pleased to be associated with Savant Systems,” said president Mark Hulsebos. “Systems Control has become the cornerstone of our Integrators’ business model, but until now has been dependent on a specialized, expensive, and frequently undependable programming industry. Savant’s proprietary Racepoint software suite leverages Linux and Apple operating systems to provide an innovative GUI for control and communications. The elimination of source code programming represents the forward thinking approach that Convergence Marketing has relentlessly pursued over the past decade,” concluded Hulsebos.

“Savant has been seeking to align itself with regional sales reps that have the experience and dedicated personnel like Convergence Marketing,” stated Jim Carroll, Savant president. “We have high expectations for Mark and his award-winning organization, and Savant will be there providing the resources required to ensure a successful venture together,” added Carroll.
