About Us

History

Inspiration has been the cornerstone of our culture since the company’s inception in 1984.

It was at this point of deregulation and the dawn of the data revolution that founders Vince Sciarra and Rich Ackerman established Telsource. With an innovative approach unique to the expanding communications marketplace, Telsource emerged as a ground-breaking provider of IT service solutions.

CEO Vince Sciarra accepts VAR Business Magazine’s award recognizing Telsource for excellence in the communications vertical market, 2005.Nearly 30 years later, after countless technical trends, business cycles, and industry twists and turns, Telsource (now Acuative), continues to break into new dimensions, introducing industry-leading service offerings and helping customers meet their voice and data network goals in new ways.

Throughout our history, Acuative has displayed a distinctive, perceptive understanding of our clients’ needs and visions, goals and aspirations. We recognized from the start that our clients’ IT systems and applications were critical to their success.

For our clients, that meant that downtime needed to be minimized, complex technology rollouts simplified, and returns on technology investments maximized.

And so Acuative set out to provide inventive, superior IT service and best-of-breed technology solutions, delivering end-to-end lifecycle support for our clients in the service provider, enterprise, finance, retail and public sectors nationwide.

Growth

Over the years we’ve augmented our portfolio, acquiring unique communications and technology organizations, including:

  1. Pleiades Communications, a provider of intelligent hardware solutions for integrated access and interactive IP-enabled kiosks.
  2. Secure Interiors, unusually cost-effective, high-strength managed Internet security services and regulatory compliance solutions, fully integrated into the Telsource PremGuard ™ Network Security program.
  3. Prism Innovations expert network maintenance contract administration.

Since the very beginning, Acuative has built our clients’ businesses with foresight and discernment. And we continue to do so today, concentrating on the most current end-to-end IT solutions, while simultaneously maintaining laser-focus on the future and the emergence of new, exceptional technologies and services.

In this way, Acuative stays true to our history, ensuring our clients’ readiness for what’s next, whether that’s the next technology, the next application or the next business challenge.

Industry Awards

Industry expertise is at the heart of our operation, giving our clients the confidence and knowledge that their network is in the hands of a technology leader.

While we feel honored to receive industry awards, recognition for our achievements humbles us as well. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished, yet we will never stop striving to achieve even more.
