Touchscreen Software Partner
Applied Electronics
The Client’s Need
Canada’s largest audio visual and broadcast technology company, Applied Electronics, needed a flexible software partner to provide touchscreen software for multiple future projects for their clients. Understanding that work done by a software company would reflect on them, they needed people who shared their high standards of professionalism.
The Project
After they assessed our capabilities to meet the needs of many of their projects, we partnered for a touchscreen information kiosk as the first project. We provided them with marketing material designed consistent with their other materials, that they could pass on to clients to explain the relationship and what software services they could now provide. Pleasant also gained a valuable partner to help our clients with large scale AV hardware needs.
