The Monitoring Association (TMA) will exhibit at the APCO International 90th Annual Conference and Exposition 2024 (APCO 2024). TMA will introduce its plans for the next-generation, cloud-based solution for its ASAP service. TMA partners CommSys, Inc. and Mission Critical Partners will also be in attendance promoting ASAP.

MCLEAN, Va., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Monitoring Association (TMA), the non-profit trade association representing the professional monitoring industry, will exhibit at the APCO International 90th Annual Conference and Exposition 2024 (APCO 2024).

ASAP offers significant benefits to monitoring companies and 9-1-1 emergency communications centers by streamlining alarm notification processing. Automating alarm workflows through ASAP significantly reduces response times and manual intervention, ultimately enhancing public safety response.

TMA will introduce its plans for the next-generation, cloud-based solution for its ASAP service. The APCO 2024 exhibit floor is open August 5-6, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. Visit TMA in Booth 1453. Also, promoting ASAP will be our longest and trusted partner, CommSys, Inc. (Booth 1832), and our newest partner, Mission Critical Partners (MCP) (Booth 2013).

The leading digital alarm dispatch service, ASAP, provides a low-cost, standards-based, non-proprietary solution to Emergency Communication Centers (ECCs) and delivers a faster, more informed, and intelligent emergency response. It is currently deployed in ECCs in 23 states and the District of Columbia, covering a population exceeding 54.5 million. The 30 ASAP-enabled monitoring centers serve 80% of all monitored customers in the U.S. Since 2011, ASAP has been reducing the time to dispatch by an average of two minutes (after call-answer time) for improved outcomes and saving lives and property. All major computer-aided dispatch (CAD) vendors support ASAP.

“ASAP offers significant benefits to monitoring companies and 9-1-1 emergency communications centers by streamlining alarm notification processing,” said Mel Maier, CEO and Executive Director of APCO International. “Automating alarm workflows through ASAP significantly reduces response times and manual intervention, ultimately enhancing public safety response.”

TMA recently announced a new agreement for managed services provided by MCP. This was a strategic move to replace volunteer efforts to expand marketing and advance the ASAP program with a managed service provider and technology leader to lead and manage the ASAP Service. MCP has been contracted to assist in designing and developing the next-generation alarm signaling message broker for the ASAP service that will deliver expanded capabilities, integration options, and an ongoing roadmap for the platform. MCP will also provide ongoing maintenance and day-to-day management of the technical architecture while maintaining existing ASAP Service infrastructure and services.

Another key partner also attending and exhibiting at APCO is TMA’s Platinum Certified Partner, CommSys, Inc. CommSys served as the original architect of ASAP and its protocol, pioneering its implementation process. As TMA’s long-standing Implementation Partner, CommSys assists and guides interested PSAPS, software automation providers, and alarm dealers with professional services and software tools to connect to ASAP Services. CommSys will continue in this role and is in the process of scaling its infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for ASAP Services created by MCP’s planned marketing and outreach efforts.

Robert Turner, President and Founder of CommSys, stated, “CommSys applauds TMA’s win-win approach to the nationwide acceleration of the ASAP Service. With a deep commitment to ASAP’s impact on public safety, CommSys stands ready to continue what we do best, which is ASAP implementation. Be assured, we are already scaling to meet anticipated ASAP implementation demand.”

“It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child, the same can often be said for technology evolutions,” said Darrin Reilly, MCP’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “ASAP is the result of a collaborative effort between the alarm and public-safety sectors, and we’re thrilled to be part of this effort going forward to increase the service’s penetration and to develop new and exciting capabilities.”

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
