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.

I've used Manager every working day for over 15 years, I couldn't support my customers without it!
Granero Data SystemsFantastic products that enhances productivity and supports safeguarding in our environment.
Andrew Gibson, Bradfield SchoolGreat product and good support when there is an issue.
Luke Capper, Christ the King Catholic High SchoolThe LINK Projection System is a great teaching tool to have in our lower school computer lab! I can model and transmit what I want the students to learn and each student can see my monitor displayed on their monitor. Their eyes are where they need to be to complete the steps I am teaching. The blank out button lets me get everyone to stop and focus. I am glad such a device is available for teaching computers! We have investigated some software solutions, but none were nearly as good as the hardware solution for our particular needs. Our lab uses some older educational games and these either would not work, or worked far too slowly, using software solutions. The real beauty of the hardware solution is its speed, and compatibility. Our system was first installed in 1997, yet when we replaced the computers this last summer with new ones (probably the 4th time since the original install), everything kept working great. Also, when we had a power supply go out 2 years ago, we were able to purchase a replacement without problem.
Mr. Cox, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic SchoolA great product and great customer service has kept us using Manager for years!
Bobby Amin, Airport Coordination LTDSimple to Set up. Simple to Use!
Jamie Stevens, Carter Community SchoolDue to there being many automated processes within DNA, it really has saved the IT team a lot of time from device discovery to application monitoring and enterprise reporting, it has really improved our performance.

Bloor HomesDNA has been instrumental in terms of network and asset management here at Marmalade.
Alex Smith, MarmaladeThe 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 really useful tool that allows us to remotely support users from all over the world, from anywhere in the world.
Arcadia PetroleumACS has a tremendous customer service record and provides top of the line products for your classroom.
Mr. Smilonich, Snazzo ProductionsThe LINK System is excellent, I could not function without it, especially for the primary grades. The feature that benefits me the most is to be able to control each individual computer and also to be able to demonstrate procedures to the class on their individual computer. I use the system all the time to show students how to do different projects step by step. One of the biggest benefits is it is much quicker to be at the computer and help students with questions than to walk around and help students.
Kathy Lyons, St. Mary SchoolThe 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 BarlettExactly the product we needed at a great price!
Reynolds Auto GroupWe use Notify as it is the quickest way to communicate with staff when we need to. It just works!
