Convergence Networks, a North American managed services provider, announced the acquisition of Certinet Systems, a Yakima-based IT services firm known for its strong regional presence and customer-focused approach. The transaction strengthens Convergence Networks’ footprint across the Pacific Northwest while expanding its capabilities in cybersecurity and regulatory compliance for organizations operating in highly regulated industries.
Certinet Systems has built a reputation across Central and Eastern Washington for delivering managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and compliance support, particularly for public sector organizations and businesses connected to government and defense supply chains. The company’s experience in these areas complements Convergence Networks’ ongoing investment in cybersecurity frameworks, including its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification practice.
With the acquisition, Certinet will continue operating with local leadership, and founder Bryant Kyger will remain in a regional leadership role. Clients are expected to benefit from expanded service offerings, including enhanced cybersecurity and compliance capabilities, broader vendor partnerships, extended support hours, and access to Convergence Networks’ operational platforms and client portal.
The combined organization aims to deliver a more modern and transparent client experience, while increasing regional investment and maintaining Certinet’s established service model and local relationships. Convergence Networks, which has operated for more than 25 years across the United States and Canada, continues to focus on helping organizations reduce risk, modernize IT environments, and navigate increasingly complex regulatory landscapes.
