Affiliates

ACI's affiliates are best in breed vendors whose services complement ACI's services and add additional value to our clients by allowing them to come to one location to create a comprehensive package to meet their needs. ACI seeks to foster relationships with premier service providers in their space that will allow both companies to harness the capabilities of the other in a strategic partnership. Through the development of these relationships, ACI seeks to increase cross-marketing of our respective services, thereby providing both companies with increased brand visibility and lead generation for potential business opportunities in both directions. If you are interested in becoming an ACI affiliate or are a prospective client that would like an introduction to one of ACI's affiliates through ACI contact Diana Kearns at dkearns@acisecure.com.
