CMS Technology Partners

What CMS Technology Partners does

CMS Technology Partners is a privately held, family-owned technology solutions integrator headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey, operating across the United States. The firm sells a broad portfolio spanning physical security (CEIA OPENGATE mobile weapons detection, VMI X-ray imaging systems, DHS-certified AI video analytics, video surveillance cameras), telecommunications (hosted PBX, VoIP, UCaaS, SIP/PRI/T1/POTS trunking), data networking (SD-WAN, Ethernet, MPLS, fiber and cable internet, managed Wi-Fi, VPN), cloud and managed IT (hosted exchange, cloud firewall, IT management), enterprise mobility (MDM with AT&T/Verizon/Sprint aggregation, IoT, push-to-talk), managed cybersecurity (NIST-aligned MDR, EDR, firewall management), fleet and telematics (ELD-compliant GPS, dashcams, route optimization), and LED lighting, with adjunct equipment financing through cmsfunding.com.

The company positions itself as a vendor-neutral consulting and deployment firm, drawing on more than 150 vetted alliance vendors and 100+ carrier/supplier relationships to assemble multi-vendor solutions. It goes to market through two complementary motions: a direct consultative sales team serving enterprise and government accounts on integrated security and IT deployments, and a Platinum Partner Program that recruits telecom agents, sub-agents, and referral partners who monetize the portfolio with upstream bonuses, monthly recurring commissions, and residual income.

Revenue mechanics are a mix of recurring telecom/VoIP/mobility/managed cybersecurity subscriptions (billed per seat, per device, or per vehicle per month, with claimed savings of 20-40% on mobility and 30-60% on VoIP versus traditional alternatives), one-time hardware sales for OPENGATE, X-ray, and LED installations, and channel-sourced commissions. Target segments span SMB (via partners) and enterprise (stadiums, K-12 schools, hospitals, government and critical infrastructure), with named reference accounts including Globe Life Field, AT&T Stadium, and Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.
