Amcom Software Acquires CommtechWireless

By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Amcom Software has acquired CommtechWireless, a provider of technology that connects critical data sources, such as nurse call alarms and patient monitors, to the right people via their preferred communication devices.
 
By acquiring CommtechWireless, Amcom Software will meet the growing demand from customers—especially in the healthcare, government, and hospitality industries—to further streamline communications, improve response time, and enhance effectiveness.



 
“For 40 years, our customers have relied on Amcom as their mission-critical communication backbone. Today, with the purchase of CommtechWireless, we have extended this backbone to integrate data from devices and instantly connect these islands of critical information to the people that need to know about it and act on it,” said Chris Heim, Amcom Software CEO.
 
CommtechWireless has operations in the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, and Europe. Its employees and operations will remain in their current locations, forming a new division of Amcom Software.
 
CommtechWireless CEO, Nathan Buzza, and President, Zane Lewis will join Amcom Software to lead the division.
 
“We are thrilled about this acquisition and how it will benefit our customers and employees,” said Buzza. “It’s a perfect match in terms of products, industries, and company culture. We’re very impressed with Amcom Software’s leadership and are confident they’ll help take CommtechWireless to the next level of success.”
 
CommtechWireless was founded in 1991 and today is a developer of event-driven connectivity software and a manufacturer of paging hardware. Over 7,500 customers in 53 countries have deployed real-time communications platforms from CommtechWireless.
 
CommtechWireless offers a portfolio of innovative software and hardware solutions as well as professional services. Its global reach provides support for customers in key vertical markets.
 
“CommtechWireless is an excellent fit for us. This move continues our strategy of growing by acquiring strong companies with complementary technologies, vertical strength, and great people. We welcome the employees of CommtechWireless and their many customers to Amcom Software, knowing they’ll all benefit from our development, technology and financial strength,” stated Amcom Software CFO, Dan Mayleben.
 
Minneapolis-based Amcom Software provides technology solutions for organizations that depend on speed, accuracy, and productivity to manage mission-critical, day-to-day, emergency and event-driven communications. Amcom Software's advanced solutions are used by more than 1,400 corporations and organizations in healthcare, education, hospitality and government.
 
The CommtechWireless acquisition, along with the recent additions of XTEND Communications (News - Alert) and Telident E911 solutions, is expected to further solidify the company’s top market position with the combined companies’ committed employees, broad expertise across several distinct markets, strong technologies and growing client base.
