Blue Sky Integrated Technologies Joins PSNI
TULSA, February 20, 2008 – Blue Sky Integrated Technologies, Inc., an audiovisual (AV) sales and systems integration firm based in Seattle, Washington, was recently invited to join Professional Systems Network International (PSNI), a North American alliance of independent AV, IT, broadcast, and multimedia systems integrators.
PSNI sought Blue Sky as a member based on the firm’s industry expertise, record of developing cost-effective, intuitive solutions to customers’ technology needs and providing responsive, personalized service and support throughout the Pacific Northwest region. Drawing upon many years of industry experience, the firm combines the latest in technology with quality AV design and installation, as well as works collaboratively with customers to implement the technology that meets their business needs. Notes company President Laura Moorhead, “[Company Vice President] Greg Tazioli, and I believe in building long-lasting relationships with our customers and staying directly involved with their integration projects. By staying engaged, we are able to ensure that we deliver everything we promise to our customers during the sales process.”
“Blue Sky is a great addition to PSNI,” says PSNI Past-President and Membership Chair John Bluhm. “We are particularly impressed by how much their customers value their industry expertise, ability to meet extremely tight schedules, high-quality and reliable work, and responsive, personalized service. Their customers say they know Laura and Greg personally and trust them implicitly.”
Potential PSNI affiliates must meet numerous membership criteria, including high ethical standards, proven professionalism and accountability, industry leadership in technology or services, and active participation in other industry associations. PSNI seeks firms that strengthen the diversity of the organization’s core capabilities and that reinforce the organization’s standing and ability to offer comprehensive geographic coverage to clients throughout the United States and Canada.
Firms, in turn, benefit from PSNI membership by leveraging their knowledge and resources. For example, PSNI affiliates are able to lower the costs associated with managing national events and provide a standard level of service on a national basis. Says Bluhm, “Membership in PSNI gives affiliate firms the resources of much larger companies while still enabling the firms to give customers the customized, speedy service they expect.” Moorhead agrees, stating, “We are looking to take advantage of our PSNI affiliation to continue to grow our business and to provide audiovisual integration services for our customers in locations outside the Northwest.”
Blue Sky has built a strong reputation over the years by performing customer needs analyses, presentation technology design and engineering, system installation and integration, control system programming, project management, training, and post-installation support for boardrooms, conference and training rooms, educational facilities, and other display environments. The firm’s customers include large national and multinational corporations, as well as public and private colleges and universities.
Membership in the PSNI network will also enable Blue Sky to better forecast and adapt to industry shifts. Notes Tazioli, “The direction of the industry and the role of the AV integrator are continually changing, especially with moves toward digital messaging, rapid dissemination of information, and implementation of complex technologies under shorter and shorter timeframes. PSNI membership gives us greater insight into quickly changing national and global industry trends, and we look forward to partnering with affiliates on cutting-edge projects in the future.”
PSNI represents a North American network of independently owned affiliates that generates over $500 million in annual revenues with over 1,590 employees located in 59 offices nationwide. Founded in 1986, PSNI provides a forum for information exchange and problem solving, elevates public awareness of affiliates’ capabilities, and offers a distinguishing standard of quality, integrity, customized service, and expertise.
