Applied Electronics Joins the Global Presence Alliance as its Canadian Partner

Unique in the Canadian market for its 60-year reputation for spearheading visionary system innovations, Applied Electronics helps customers implement new technologies that support effective communication and collaboration, and ultimately optimize operational workflows.

"We are honoured to have been selected as the exclusive GPA partner for Canada," says Paul Stechly, President of Applied Electronics. "Joining this international alliance ensures that our customers have access to a network of elite global resources through a single source that is located in their very own backyards. Our involvement with the GPA will further enhance Applied Electronics' existing offerings by extending our ability to support our clients' international initiatives."

"Applied Electronics is simply an outstanding addition to our member family," comments Byron Tarry, Executive Director of the GPA. "Their reputation for quality, technical capability and innovation is unmatched in the Canadian market, but their alignment with the familial culture of the GPA, along with their proud history of volunteerism and knowledge share within industry, made the choice to welcome them into the GPA so clear for us."

The GPA has a directive that all members follow the same set of protocols and procedures for joint customer engagements. This enables the organization as a whole to offer standards and scale to customers, and to drive a simple objective of using technology to help people work better.

"The ability to collaborate in real-time with regional locations across the globe has become a mandate for many of our multinational clients in Canada," says Mike Dalton, Vice President of the Audio Visual Systems Group at Applied Electronics. "We are very excited to be part of the GPA's exclusive network of reputable, industry-leading professionals. We look forward to sharing our expertise and resources as we learn from our fellow members, working together in our common goal to deliver consistent audio visual and unified communications solutions to companies worldwide."
