We’re excited to announce that Higher Ground Technologies is joining ACS Technologies.
In April, Higher Ground Technologies is joining forces with some very like-minded companies: Think Ministry and ACS Technologies. We all share similar goals, cultures, and a heart for the mission and vision of the Church, and now we will be pursuing them under the same umbrella.
In this new space, Tom Guffin and Kevin Brunson will still be leading the team at Higher Ground Technologies. The entire team will continue to monitor, manage, and deliver enterprise-level support of your IT systems. Partnering with you in kingdom work remains our top priority. That is not changing! So, what is changing? Our combined resources will simply allow us to do all of that… better.
Higher Ground Technologies has been the designated hosting provider for MinistryPlatform for many years. Currently more than 100 churches access MinistryPlatform through our services so partnering with them is ideal. ACS Technologies offers awesome customer service, resourcing, and scale that will propel all three of us into the future to continue serving churches and ministries just like we always have.
We all remain committed to what we were so passionate about when we started each of these companies: Serving the kingdom with you. And now we get to do it as one team.
Stronger. Together.
“A cord of three strands is not easily broken.”
