DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Divcon LLC, a leading independent provider of mission-critical Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) solutions, today announced the expansion of its leadership team to support continued growth, operational excellence, and product innovation across the rapidly growing data center market.

As AI and cloud adoption accelerates demand for more efficient energy infrastructure, Divcon has reinvested in its people, processes, and platform to scale alongside its customers and deliver high-performing, bespoke, and reliable solutions at record-breaking speed.
