AIM, Inc., the global trade association recognized as the worldwide authority on automatic identification and data collection (AIDC) and networking in a mobile environment, is pleased to announce the first-ever quarterly channel survey for the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) industry. This survey is a joint project of AIM, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, a full-service securities and investment banking firm. The survey is for members of the AIDC Channel marketplace and will be an ongoing, global program to collect data about the current state of the channel organizations that sell AIDC technologies and solutions. “Monitoring the preferences, behavior and outlook of the channel will significantly aid Raymond James equity research in providing investors and other parties with a more comprehensive understanding of the AIDC industry,” said Chris Quilty, Vice President equity research for Raymond James. “We look forward to working with AIM in this timely and exciting initiative.” “The channel continues to be the strongest avenue for AIDC market growth, yet our industry has little industry-wide intelligence about this critical sector,” stated Dan Mullen, Interim CEO of AIM, Inc. “Since AIM is committed to helping our members understand and plan for the future, we are proud to partner with Raymond James on this critical program.” The first of the quarterly surveys was announced on 15 May 2002 and will be conducted via the Internet during the next two weeks. Subsequent surveys will be promoted on a quarterly schedule. Channel companies that participate will get: § Timely data and statistics that can affect your business and profits § Knowledge of what products are hot and which are not § Detailed industry growth outlook § Participants will get summary access to survey data. § Participating AIM members can view consolidated results for each question § Free quarterly financial analysis of public companies from Raymond James § A chance to win prizes Executive officers of channel companies are asked to complete a survey that will take approximately 30 minutes. Subsequent quarterly surveys will take less time to complete, as past responses will be available to verify or change. Participants will receive a complimentary industry report with synopsis results.
