Security Innovator Acquires Floor One Solutions, Strengthening Commitment to Delivering Dependable Security and Safety Solutions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Annapolis, MD, April 25, 2023 – Bowler Pons Solutions Consultants, LLC (“Bowler Pons”), a leader in open and honest innovative security consulting and solutions exploration, development, and fielding, has announced the acquisition of Floor One Solutions (“FloorOne”), a trusted technology consultancy specializing in custom sensing and integrated solutions for very specialized customers. This strategic partnership will enable Bowler Pons to expand its offerings and accelerate the deployment of authentic, right-sized, and dependable security and safety solutions for both existing and future customers in the Defense, Federal, State/Local, and Commercial markets while providing FloorOne customers access to new and diverse technical skillsets to also build, implement, and support fielded solutions. 

With a strong track record of professional success and global clients, FloorOne brings a wealth of expertise in the field of light detection and ranging (LIDAR), perception software, and advanced technology integration, helping businesses and organizations implement cutting-edge solutions that improve their efficiency, safety, security, and overall success. By joining forces with Bowler Pons, FloorOne’s subject matter expertise will be leveraged to develop innovative and deployable security solutions that cater to the unique needs of a diverse clientele focused on the absolute best advanced-sensing capabilities and knowledgeable design and implementation support. Additionally, Bowler Pons’ depth and breadth of technology professionals will provide existing FloorOne customers with a new dimension and reach-back of project and engagement value across the entire system life cycle. 

“The acquisition of Floor One Solutions demonstrates our dedication to staying at the leading edge of technological advancements in the security and perception industry and keeping the customer’s needs at the forefront,” said Mark Holmes, Co-Owner of Bowler Pons. “We are thrilled to have the talent from Floor One Solutions join us and look forward to leveraging our collective expertise to deliver unparalleled security and safety solutions for our existing and prospective customers.”  

With the acquisition, Bowler Pons appoints FloorOne founder, Jerone Floor, as the Head of Innovation, leading the overall advancement, transition, and widespread application of its technology solutions and advanced technology consulting expertise. Jerone’s experience includes more than 23 years of software and product design, development, solutions architecture, product management, and tailored customer delivery and support. Jerone holds a bachelor's degree in Technical Computer Science, holds a US Patent, received a Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Technical Team Remote” at NASCAR, and most recently led the LIDAR-based technical architecture, integration, planning, and development efforts for an intelligent infrastructure environment and automation project using Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology for the BMW manufacturing plant in Munich, Germany. His wealth of experience and diversity of applied solutions development brings a new level of perspective and insight to Bowler Pons. 

"Jerone’s highly technical background in software and product design, development, technology transition, fielding, and customer support, combined with his seasoned and successful track record in innovative and strategic technology application exploration and execution are ideal for where we are as a company," highlighted Mark Holmes. “We've evolved our traditional technology and management consulting service offerings into a portfolio of subject matter expertise and targeted security solutions for real customer needs. Jerone will help maintain the continuous stream of innovation initiatives, both internally funded as well as customer-sponsored, but more importantly, he will be responsible for exploring new adaptations, markets, customers, and challenges for which our expertise and solutions apply.” 

“Floor One Solutions was founded with the goal of becoming the premier independent and honest LIDAR technology consultancy company, and I felt an obligation to remain this way in considering this opportunity. In conversations with Mark, it quickly became clear that Bowler Pons not only shares those values, but they are also already deeply embedded in the culture of the company,” reflected Floor. “With this acquisition, FloorOne customers will not only enjoy the same level of independent advice and support as before but will also gain access to a whole new team of subject matter experts in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, autonomous system design, digital solutions architecture, disciplined programmatic oversight, and a team of highly-skilled engineers, capable of turning ideas and concepts into working and sustainable products.” 

The combined resources and skills of both companies will allow Bowler Pons and FloorOne to continue their shared mission of providing honest, right-sized, deployable, carefully-integrated, and dependable security and safety solutions while expanding collective offerings to other markets.
