Our History
For decades, the Alexander name has been synonymous with quality in the IT and Security community. Grandfather Gary Alexander began in sales with Sperry (now Unisys) and passed his interest and expertise to his son, Chris Alexander. Along with other family members—Gary, Scott, Thatcher, and Duncan—Chris was an owner of Alexander Open Systems (AOS), a leading value-added reseller (VAR). AOS combined keen IT expertise with exceptional customer service and, after 25 years expanding the business throughout the Midwest and nationally, the Alexanders sold that business, and Chris passed the torch to his son.
After ten years as an IT sales executive, Matt Alexander now carries on the family tradition by founding ACS. Unlike other firms, however, Matt’s mission is to carry on the family legacy, coupling world-class cybersecurity expertise with a passion for meeting client business needs—focusing not only on protection, but on helping clients build and sustain revenue streams. Chris now leads the ACS board of directors while Matt serves as CEO. They are joined by experts across the cybersecurity spectrum, ensuring ACS clients receive leading edge intelligence and execution.
