NetSys vs. Converged Technology Group
The Converged Technology Group name now sits inside another company. Converged began on Long Island in 2006 and was acquired by Focus Technology in August 2025, which is why searching the name lands you on focustsi.com today. The Islandia office is still published. Here is what a Suffolk County buyer is looking at.
The short answer
Start by knowing who you would be hiring, because the Converged Technology Group name now sits inside Focus Technology, whose contact page publishes the Islandia address next to a Boston headquarters. If packaged tiers and an office in Suffolk County fit the way you buy, that is a solid path, and they publish a menu of free assessments to start with. NetSys is the alternative when you want the privileged access work inside the base agreement and an arrangement that renews every month.
What Converged Technology Group is
Converged Technology Group started in 2006 and was headquartered on Long Island until Focus Technology announced the acquisition on August 8, 2025. The Islandia address, 2990 Express Drive South, is now published as the Focus New York office beside a Boston headquarters, and the combined firm describes itself as working throughout the Northeast. What is published there now includes four managed IT tiers, an AI and Data practice with fractional Virtual Chief AI Officer and Virtual Chief Data Officer roles and Snowflake at Select Tier partner status, and a security and compliance page naming HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, NIST SP 800-171, ISO 27001 and HITRUST.
Published headquarters: Islandia, NY (Long Island) as the New York office; Focus Technology's published headquarters is Boston, MA. focustsi.com
The Islandia office under a new name
The address a Suffolk County buyer would drive to has not moved. What changed is the name above the door and the head office behind it, which is now in Boston. An ownership change can pass without a client noticing anything, and the announcement states the founding year and the Long Island headquarters plainly rather than burying them. Even so, two questions belong on the call if you are signing now: which engineers are assigned to your account today, and whether the catalogue you were quoted is the current one. Those are fair questions to put to any provider, us included.
Free assessments, and what each one covers
Their complimentary network assessment page offers five distinct reviews: network, wireless, firewall and perimeter security, general technology, and WAN or SD-WAN. The security and compliance page separately offers a free cybersecurity assessment and a free security consultation. That is a broad menu of ways to get a professional looking at your environment before money changes hands, and a buyer should take them up on it. Ours is narrower and sharper: a free Tier 1 external penetration test that examines your business the way somebody on the internet would, and you get the write-up regardless of what you decide next.
Fifteen-minute snapshots against timed restores
The Pavis backup and disaster recovery page describes an on-site unit taking continuous snapshots as often as every 15 minutes under a hybrid cloud model, and states that data can be restored within minutes. That is a specific, checkable engineering claim, and specific beats general on a backup page. We publish a written recovery plan plus restores we perform and time, and more than 30 ransomware incidents handled in three years with every one fully recovered. Comparing the two, ask each firm for the date and the duration of its most recent full restore on a live client.

NetSys: Independent since 1998. One office, in Brooklyn, and no private equity owner behind the name.
Industries they name
We could not find this published on their site.
NetSys: Twenty six industries with a page each, from healthcare and legal to hedge funds, auto dealers and government contractors.
Compliance work published
- Their security and compliance page names HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, NIST SP 800-171, ISO 27001 and HITRUST, and states 24/7 availability to respond to an attack. (focustsi.com)

Rates on the website
We could not find this published on their site.
NetSys: We do not publish rates. We quote per business rather than per seat, after a call, because a thirty person firm with two servers and a thirty person firm with a regulator are not the same job.
What we looked for on their site and could not find
contract length or cancellation terms; rates; response-time commitments; the industries they serve.
That means we did not find it published, not that it does not exist. Ask them directly, and ask us the same questions. If Converged Technology Group publishes any of this and we missed it, write to info@netsysgroup.com and we will add it.
The honest fit: is NetSys the right Converged Technology Group alternative?
When Converged Technology Group is the better choice
Stay with the Islandia office if you want engineers within driving distance of Suffolk County and a larger Northeast organization behind them, and if packaged tiers suit how you buy IT. The parent firm publishes SOC 2 Type II and SOC 1 Type II certification of its own organization, which is a real answer when your auditors ask about vendor controls, and the free network and firewall assessments give you a low-risk way to start the conversation.
When NetSys is the better choice
Call us if continuity of ownership is part of what you are buying. NetSys has been independent since 1998, one office in Brooklyn, no outside owner behind the name, and the engineers who run your network are the firm. One agreement covers cybersecurity, managed IT with help desk, privileged access management, privileged identity management, disaster recovery planning and AI adoption work, with 24/7 monitoring behind it. Suffolk County is inside our on-site coverage area.
NetSys and Converged Technology Group: FAQs
Is Converged Technology Group the same as Focus Technology Solutions?
They are one company now. Focus Technology published an announcement on August 8, 2025 stating it had acquired Converged Technology Group, an IT services provider founded in 2006 and headquartered on Long Island. Searches for the Converged name now lead to focustsi.com, and the Islandia office at 2990 Express Drive South is published as the Focus New York office alongside a Boston headquarters. So if you are researching Converged Technology Group, the service catalogue you are reading is the Focus Technology one.
What is a Converged Technology Group alternative in Suffolk County?
NetSys is the one we would put forward: a single firm in Brooklyn with Long Island inside our on-site coverage area. We sell one month-to-month agreement rather than a four-tier catalogue, with 24/7 monitoring and the privileged account work inside it. If what put Converged Technology Group on your list was the local Islandia office with a bigger organization behind it, that combination still exists under the Focus name.
What happens to our IT contract when a provider is acquired?
Ask before you sign, because an agreement normally transfers with the business, and that is exactly why the term matters. On a multi-year contract you can end up with a new owner and no practical way to leave until the term runs out. We could not find contract length or cancellation terms published on the current site, so ask what term you would be signing and what leaving early costs. NetSys agreements run month to month with no early-exit penalty, which is the simplest protection there is against a change you did not choose.
Where is the Converged Technology Group office located now?
At 2990 Express Drive South in Islandia, New York, inside Suffolk County, published on the Focus Technology contact page as its New York office. The other published address is the Boston headquarters at 10 Post Office Square. Nothing in the announcement moved the Long Island location; the name above it changed. If proximity is what put them on your list, the office is still there, and it is worth confirming on your first call which staff work out of it.
