Austin, Texas-based AV integrator Felix Media Solutions Inc. (FMS) expanded its service offerings to include security systems design and integration. It achieved this with its acquisition of regional security dealer Big Star Security, LLC.
FMS hired Big Star’s owner, Scott Zuniga, to serve as the FMS director of security sales. Zuniga has 17 years of experience in the industry. Indeed, he boasts a career spent focused on designing and implementing service programs that provide superior peace of mind to clients with security needs.
“The last few years of Big Star’s business was focused on helping our clients migrate their legacy alarm, access control and camera systems to the cloud,” Zuniga says. Additionally, he adds, “Joining forces with [FMS] allows us to continue this mission on a larger scale.”
FMS’ CEO, Lionel Felix, remarks that adding security design and installation services helps FMS in its goal. That goal, of course, is to provide simple, stress-free, easy-to-use solutions for clients from inception to integration. “I think, with the rise in crime lately — especially locally — there has been an urgent demand for service,” Felix adds.
Moreover, he continues, “Security systems integration is a natural outgrowth of our existing technical knowledge.” Indeed, he says, it’s “…a great way for us to do what we do best — help our clients.”
Citing his deep client base and expertise, Felix says Zuniga was “the perfect choice” to help FMS develop its roster of security services.
Felix describes Zuniga as a hands-on team member. In addition, he credits him with “…helping to grow the skill base of our workforce and challenging us to grow in new directions from a system-design perspective. I can’t wait to see where this takes us.”
