ACS was founded in 1971, by Electrical Engineer Donald D. Lacy and is classified as a private, veteran owned, small business. The company is located fifty miles north east of Columbus, Ohio. ACS is a veteran leader in the video and audio networking industry and manufactures video and audio switching and networking equipment.
In 1983, ACS designed, patented, and manufactured the LINK Video Network. The company markets directly to the end user and has participated extensively as a sub contractor in the government/military arena. The LINK System has become extremely popular with instructors and teachers throughout the education, commercial, government and military environments.
Each generation of LINK System is the result of feedback from computer instructors just like you. Two important requirements underlie every LINK System purchased:
As a result of this fundamental consideration, instructors using our systems continually tell us they experience a 20-35% increase in classroom efficiency. This is why a LINK System pays for itself in such a short period of time.
We sell direct. There is no middleman involved to mark up the price. You deal directly with people who understand classroom technologies, the needs of instructors, and the LINK Video System. You can request a literature packet describing the LINK System in great detail. Our knowledgeable sales staff will discuss with you which systems best meet your needs.

The software does what it is supposed to do: notify! It is extremely easy to roll out to client computers. The interface is very easy to use.
Village of BarlettLow resource demands, easily integrate into Active Directory. Great tool for getting important notifications right in front of staff when you need to.
Farmers State BankThere may be other similar systems out there readily available, either above or below their cost, but with their excellent products, knowledge, and customer service, it is worth every penny to work with ACS, Inc. and purchase the LINK System.
Steve Tomory, Rio Hondo CollegeIt is reliable and easy to use and gives us confidence that all users will be able to use it in an emergency.
Clare Bourne, Furze Down SchoolSince Notify was put in place here at Martin House, I have had no issues with the software. It is simple to use, effective and fast. Have already recommended it to others.
Johnny Fantauzzo, Martin HouseThe features that really attracted us are the phrase matching and USB controls, both of which are much improved over our previous system, and the price being half what we were paying!
Matt Furneaux, Humphrey Davy SchoolThe product does what we require and the tech support has been excellent, very knowledgeable with fast responses.
Daniel Buck, Derwen CollegeDNA has solved all of our needs and has even more functionality than we expected.
UNICEFWe find Notify to be a cost-effective mature product. It has helped us save money and time, increase productivity and much more.
Bloor HomesThe LINK Systems are still going strong, and if asked, can highly recommend them. However, with our ever decreasing budgets, I doubt we'll be able to upgrade any time in the near future. The big problem with making a good product: They last too darn long!
Mr. Jung, San Mateo Adult SchoolA great product and great customer service has kept us using Manager for years!
Bobby Amin, Airport Coordination LTDWith DNA, I can generate reports to see results and savings. This is an important feature for us as we weren't able to do this with any other products we had tried before.
KCEOC Community ActionOur faculty wanted to have the options to blank, transmit or control student workstations. I would recommend any type of academic university needing this product to look no further.
Mr. Kipp, Cal State FullertonWe have found the LINK System set ups are very beneficial to our instructors. They no longer have to constantly walk around the classroom to look over student shoulders to see how they are progressing. Instructors can interact with students having issues and blank all the screens when they want their attention. The most valuable feature is the instructor’s ability to monitor dual screen audio/video. ACS has been very receptive to our requests and designed special capabilities for us when needed.
Information Technology Director, Goodfellow Air Force BaseGreat product! We have been using it for 9 years and have never considered another product.
Village of BarlettWe have been using Manager for years. It allows us to remote onto our clients computers with ease.
Bloor HomesThe system is extremely easy to use and train staff on the ability to send alerts. Having the option to schedule the delivery of the messages is great as well.
St. Joseph's HealthNotify is extremely easy to use and train staff on the ability to send alerts.
St. Joseph's HealthNotify works as advertised, easy to setup and support. It is used throughout the school for all manner of notifications, from everyday messages, to technical and alert messages.
