KEATING BRINGS STORM TO CANADA
Leader in photoscanning devices signs Keating Technologies
in exclusive representation agreement.
Markham, Ontario...May 26, 1997
- Storm Technology Inc., of Mountainview, California, has signed Keating Technologies Inc.
as its exclusive Canadian representative. Storm will work with Keating to bring its
innovative personal scanner to the consumer market through Canadian distributors and
resellers.
"Keating Technologies is providing a
full-service sales and marketing effort so Storm can hit the ground running in
Canada," says Bob Preston, Storm’s vice-president, sales and marketing.
"With Keating’s record of strong performance in the Canadian computer industry,
we expect to generate the same level of sales and market share in Canada as we have
achieved in the U.S."
Says Larry Keating, president and founder
of Keating Technologies, "Storm has established itself with outstanding product
leadership as well as several aggressively-priced personal photo scanner solutions that
enable users to scan and manipulate colour photographs. With the tremendous growth in
multimedia applications on the desktop and across the Internet, we expect this market
segment to take off as consumers and businesses discover applications for scanning devices
-- from scanning and attaching family pictures to internet e-mails, to document scanning
for electronic management and storage.
