Exacom, Inc. (“Exacom”) announced that it has partnered with and received a significant investment from Seaport Capital (“Seaport”). This transaction is the successful culmination of an initiative led by Peloton Advisory LLC to identify a partner that would invest alongside the CEO and support the Company’s strategic growth initiatives, including future acquisitions.
Founded in 1986, Exacom (www.exacom.com), is a leading provider of multimedia software recording solutions for public safety, government and DoD mission-critical applications. Exacom’s technology supports the recording of audio, VoIP, data, and text-to-911 into digital formats for data collection, analysis, and management. This new focus will include a simpler approach to managing mission-critical information. Since 2014, Exacom has been 100%-0wned by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The Company will continue to be led by Al Brisard, its President and CEO, and its existing management team.
Al commented, “Exacom has worked hard to earn and achieve an incredible team, strong partners, the best customers, and a differentiated software solution. We are proud of where we are today, but with the right resources, we can do so much more. With Seaport, we have found a partner that shares our strategic vision and possesses the insight, experience, and resources to help us achieve our growth potential in a rapidly changing industry. As always, we continue on with a focus of delivering the best possible solutions for our mission-critical customers.”
Seaport Capital Partner, Scott McCormack, discussed the investment, saying “We have been impressed with the Exacom team and the growth they have achieved over the last several years. Al Brisard and his team have built a tremendous software solution and we are excited to help accelerate its growth in the public safety and other mission-critical markets.”
