Electrograph 2008 Product Catalog, Vol. 2 - (Page 5) PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CHANGE Dear Partners, Change is good! In this industry, change is essential for survival. The combination of tough economics and quick-evolving technologies make business changes more critical than ever… but there is strength in the struggle. After all, change means opportunity. At Electrograph, we’ve recently gone through some significant changes to help create new growth and profit opportunities for you. As of February 1, 2008, we formally completed the legal merger of ActiveLight, CineLight and ICG. The acquired business brands are now retired and we have SAM TAYLOR, PRESIDENT streamlined all operations under the Electrograph Systems, Inc. name. A challenging process indeed, this effort will ultimately simplify doing business with Electrograph. We now have one standardized ERP/computer system for easier ordering, shipping and logistics. To navigate you through the transition, we have created a brand new customer service department to answer specific questions and to keep your businesses moving forward. With high margin potential available in peripheral sales, including our Electrograph VAP extended warranties, the good news is you can actually increase your profitability. We have bulked up our peripheral line card to include new products like EK3’s Digipost digital signage product, Minicom’s digital signage systems and Key Digital’s commercial distribution devices. We’ve also added dedicated Solutions Managers to every one of our seven US territories. Their focus is to help you specify, sell and install accessories into every one of your AV installations. No other distributor offers this level of expertise and support in peripheral sales. Knowledge is power, so we are continuing to augment our training and education programs. In March, we kicked off our 2008 Display Technology Experience (DTE) program in Anaheim and welcomed a record crowd eager to earn NSCA and CEDIA learning credits through our expanded line-up of training sessions. For the second year in a row we visited Chicago -- with our largest group of vendor partners yet -- to showcase the industry’s newest commercial and residential products. We are continuing our journey with the next event taking place in Washington DC on October 21st. The education section of electrograph.com details some of our other learning opportunities. Our ongoing “TechTip” webinars and podcasts have been well-received, and our monthly ISF commercial training seminars are making their way around the country with scheduled stops in Denver, Chicago, Boston, New York City, Miami and LA still this year. So you see, change is good! Change = Opportunity. We look forward to experiencing new opportunities with you.
