Is Vigilar done?
Rumors on Twitter today about Atlanta based security firm Vigilar closing its doors. I tried to confirm but found out nothing determinative one way or another. It looks like nothing has been updated on the web site since this summer. A call to the company line was answered by the telephone system, but I received the same voice mail message from the PR contact whether I hit the sales extension, PR or service. Not a good sign for sure. Usually the sales line will always pick up at most companies.
Anyway, I know AndyIT Guy and Mike Rothman are down that way. Maybe they can find out what the story is.
Authors Update: I just received a message from “deep throat” that the Vigilar marketing rep has been soliciting recommendations on LinkedIn. Usually indicative of something going on. Again, just another brick in the wall, but not definitive.
Authors Update 2: I just had another contact tell me he is a creditor of Vigilar and received a bizarre email that they have shut down the VAR business due to an acquisition falling through. He further reports that all of the VAR/Services people have been laid off.
Usually where there is smoke there is fire.
