“We are excited and honored to once again be the first Platinum sponsor for ECS 2027,” said Jennie Fisher, group president, office technology at GreatAmerica. “What makes ECS special is the combination of entrepreneurial energy, candid peer-to-peer sharing, and a genuine openness to new ideas. It is a unique forum for building relationships, exploring innovation, and helping the channel move forward together. Our continued sponsorship reflects GreatAmerica’s commitment to collaboration, growth, and long-term partnership across the Imaging Channel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“GreatAmerica’s continued support as our first Platinum sponsor plays an important role in the momentum of ECS,” said Mike Stramaglio, president and CEO of Stramaglio Consulting. “ECS has become a place where established leaders, emerging voices and innovative partners come together to share ideas, challenge assumptions and help shape the future of the channel. GreatAmerica embodies that spirit, and we are proud to have them with us again for ECS 2027.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
