What started with a handful of AV dealers in 1986 has become a powerhouse network alliance of affiliates and technology solution partners. This year, PSNI celebrates it’s 30th anniversary and is poised to expand not only its membership, but strengthen its offerings to affiliates.
PSNI is a blend of small, medium and large integrators. These industry thought leaders – comprised of industry-recognized, award-winning technology integrators in North America – share business ideas as well as opportunities within the PSNI network. As a coalition, they are able to bid on and complete larger projects that require additional affiliate resources. PSNI currently hosts 35 integration companies, known as affiliates, representing more than 3,000 employees and 100 offices throughout North America. Over the course of the last 30 years, it has provided members with value from accomplishments such as:
- Launching an unprecedented Qualtrak customer satisfaction survey
- Sponsoring the industry’s first employee engagement study
- Establishing the “Rainmaker,” an online, one-year sales training course participated in by over 350 sales personnel across North America
- Introducing the annual Supersummit as well as the Preferred Vendor Program Summit that generate $169 MM in partner revenue in 2015
Not only do companies gain strength through their association with like-minded companies, but by sharing knowledge and resources, members benefit from business intelligence they couldn’t otherwise access. The Qualtrak survey, Employee Engagement survey and financial benchmarking survey are administered by third parties to help establish benchmarks while also protecting affiliate information.
“PSNI gives our affiliates access to programs, resources and information they need as industry leaders,” said Chris Miller, PSNI Executive Director. “The surveys and research capture industry data that provides a road map for the future. Our members know PSNI is the best kept secret in the industry.”
PSNI has limited opens for technology integrators. To learn how PSNI could help your AV integration firm continue to grow, contact Chris Miller at 918-645-5231 or by email at cmiller@psni.org and visit the PSNI website at www.psni.org.
