Applied Imaging Named 2011 Elite Dealer By The Week in Imaging

Applied Imaging has been selected as a 2011 Elite Dealer by The Week in Imaging, an online information and news publication for resellers of imaging technology, supplies and services.

The Elite Dealer Awards honor the best and the brightest in the imaging technology dealer community. This year’s Elite Dealer honorees encompass entrepreneurs, innovators, survivors, top sellers, and celebrated members of the communities they serve. These are the dealerships that provide office technology, software, and services to businesses and organizations of all sizes.

“Winners are not based on sales figures alone although many of this year’s Elite dealers are some of their manufacturer’s best sellers,” states Scott Cullen, publisher and editor of The Week in Imaging. “The focus is on growth, innovative marketing and sales programs, community leadership, and leadership within the industry.”  

“We are honored to be recognized as a 2011 Elite Dealer by The Week in Imaging,” said John Lowery, President of Applied Imaging.  Lowery continued, “It’s due to our team’s unwavering commitment and dedication to our clients that is at the core of this exciting recognition.”

Another key consideration is the work environment they provide employees and the job satisfaction that culture inspires. Involvement with the community is also important and many Elite dealers and their employees generously donate time and money to the communities in which they work.

“We firmly believe all of those are important qualities of an Elite Dealer,” adds Cullen. “It’s not any one trait, but a combination of traits that make an Elite dealer and a dealership such as Applied Imaging truly Elite.

Applied Imaging Opens in Detroit through Merger with American Imaging

The Applied Imaging commitment to "Keep it in the Mitt" continues.  The merger with Brighton, MI based American Imaging is complete.  On June 27th Applied officially opened the doors to our new Novi facility.  Customers across Michigan will benefit from the expansion.  Edward Montrose, founder of American Imaging commented, “I discovered that Applied Imaging is one of the fasted growing companies in the Midwest, and they offer the top product lines in the industry. I know that my customers will be well taken care of.” 

Current American Imaging customers will now enjoy the benefit of having additional resources available in terms of Applied Imaging’s buying power with the manufacturers and innovative service and support programs. “It is a win/win for all involved,” said John Lowery, Applied Imaging’s President. “With the larger customer base, we have additional leverage and purchasing power. American Imaging customers will now have access to more products since we are an authorized dealer for Canon’s complete line of products, Kyocera printers and Oce high volume production print systems.”

Hard Disk Data Security

There has been recent national news coverage referencing a concern for the data security of copiers/multifunctional devices with hard drive storage.

Applied Imaging takes this issue very seriously. We have several procedures with a variety of options for our clients’ print/scan systems. Our goal is to address your valid concerns.

Below is an outline of Applied Imaging’s procedures regarding Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data.

Replacement of a HDD as a Result of a Failure:

Applied Imaging will replace the HDD and relinquish the old HDD to a key contact at the client site. This service is included as part of your maintenance agreement with Applied Imaging.  If you do not have a maintenance agreement with Applied Imaging, we can perform this service on a charge basis.

Existing Equipment:

To maintain ongoing security to the system you currently own or use, an overwrite and/or data deletion security module can be added to your system for a fee.

Equipment Transfer of Ownership:

Applied Imaging can relinquish the HDD to a key contact at your site for the cost of the HDD and labor. Cost is dependent upon the model of copier.

For more information or if you have additional questions, please contact your Applied Imaging sales representative.
