Dasher brings an extensive resume of success across multiple industries.

The combined strength of both Converge and Dasher's teams of experts and industry partnerships will further support all clients.

"Dasher is proud to join the Converge family as our companies share core values of integrity, respect, hard work and client first," said John Vigliecca, chief executive officer of Dasher Technologies. "We are impressed with the strategy and vision Converge has brought to the industry and we know our clients, partners and employees will benefit from the increased resources Dasher can now provide. We take IT personally and so does Converge."

"Dasher is a key addition to the Converge team and gives us an increased presence on the West Coast to bolster our existing business and partnerships. The Dasher team brings the technical expertise, thought leadership, strong vendor partnerships and client relationships that we look for in our growing family of companies," said Greg Berard, president of Converge Technology Solutions. "The incorporation of Dasher into the Converge organization advances the company's 2021 focus on completing further strategic acquisitions and broadening resource development. This continued growth allows us to constantly offer our clients the best and most-innovative solutions and technologies to meet their ever-changing business needs."
