WHO WE ARE
LANCE AKINS
I am one of the luckiest people alive. I have always been deeply interested in both relationships and the scale of things. And through Crossvergence I get to indulge in both as we help our customers and partners make and implement decisions that help grow and protect their business I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from being part of a team where we fix problems for our clients every single day.
MARILEE PARSONS
As an ENTJ and experienced mom to teens, I've got the personality and skills that play well to my role. I manage all client orders, am proud of my prompt and thorough communication, handle the life-cycle management of services, and provide expert assistance and advising on all telecom matters (even those that we didn't install).
ROB BUTLER
I'm a multi-decade veteran of the internet infrastructure, data center, and technology industries. I help new clients find technology solutions that improve business processes. I enjoy teaching people how to do things and watching them put to use what they are learning. I love a good team and I believe anything is possible when we work collaboratively and ignore artificial boundaries.
We value living in Austin; we raise our families here and are invested in our community. Austin is home. We have worked in the telecom and information technology (IT) space for the better part of 2 decades and knew we wanted to create something that would leverage what we have learned over the years.
We are conscious about our contribution to the ecosystem that is telecom and IT, and to the local community we appreciate and enjoy so much.
FEATURED BRANDS
While we can work with hundreds of service providers, our experience has taught us that a few outstanding brands tend to consistently make our clients smile. We're happy to work with any service provider but below are a few brands we trust to satisfy our clients.
Telecom Stuff: Internet, Voice, MPLS, SIP
You can not run your business if critical bandwidth and voice service providers are not performing. The plumbing and pipes that provide the pathways for cloud applications should not be overlooked. Businesses must have reliable connections if they are going to have a strong superstructure.
SD-WAN
Google Maps or Waze use real-time data and information from actual drivers to get you where you are going faster and smarter. Today’s SDWAN technology does this for the network. SDWAN benefits include prioritizing and controlling cloud connectivity and applications, network resiliency and reliability, and collapse environments using an all-in-one cloud firewall solutions.
Hosted Voice (UCaaS)
The telephone system has evolved from being a piece of hardware that lives in the walls of your organization to a cloud application. The telephone system now connects to your business applications and improves operational efficiency.
Hosted Contact Center (CCaaS)
Agents today are communicating by SMS support, video, social media, as well as instant messaging. Your agents need the best-in-class tools and the ability to work from anywhere. A cloud contact center solution makes it easy and affordable for organizations around the globe to provide exceptional customer experiences while meeting key business metrics.
Security / IaaS / Data Center:
Businesses need a service provider with an interconnected portfolio of capabilities—colocation, cloud, disaster recovery, managed and professional services. In the cloud and in data centers, business organizations need secure, reliable, and connected infrastructure solutions at the internet’s edge. Today’s IT environment is changing rapidly so businesses must be ready to quickly and flexibly adapt.
