Acquired ATS in 2016

In 2016, after nearly 45 years of continued success, an opportunity to expand into southern Wisconsin developed with the acquisition of Associated Technical Services (ATS) and Southern Musicast. ATS began in 1984 and became southeastern Wisconsin’s premier sound and security systems integrator. Current ATS and ASI clients have benefitted from the combination of all of these service and product offerings, for a greater overall experience as well as an expanded coverage area.

As business clients have experienced continued success and growth with multiple locations into a variety of states, it’s our goal to partner with you on your journey to expansion. 

Services are available nationwide without any geographic boundary limitations.

We're there so you don't have to be

Midwest Answer strives to provide a seamless customer experience between your staff and ours. Friendly, professional, and reliable customer service is backed by integrity and pride in our work. 

The year was 1974. Before answering services became the essential business component that it is today. Do you remember landline phones that were connected to outlets by a wire? Or calling a phone number and getting a busy signal, so you had to keep trying. Everything was handwritten on paper. When we first started, we were a local answering service. Agents would answer a landline telephone, and messages were handwritten on paper. Customers would call in to retrieve those messages at their convenience. Fast forward to the present. As the years passed, technology advanced, opening the door for answering services to become a key component every business needs. The options for communicating with others evolved tremendously and we expanded to become a national answering service, while retaining our core customer service values. 

Partnering with Midwest Answer means clients can focus on what’s important, which can vary from day to day and business to business. When was the last time you took avacation and didn’t work most of it, or worry about missing something? Bottomline: We’re there so you don’t have to be.

Fire Alarm Systems

Fires are swift and devastating. When fire erupts, every second counts. Without a comprehensive protection system, lives can be lost and your business becomes exposed to catastrophic property damage. The fallout can also cause irreparable damage to public trust and the reputation of your business. With the omnipresence of social media, negative word-of-mouth and media exposure doesn’t just spread locally, but globally. Most businesses as a result of a fire never fully recover and in many cases, never reopen. Protect yourself from this hazard with a complete fire protection system.
