Results outpace industry growth as Canadian team on track to meet growing business demand for large format and interactive display products

TORONTO (May 2, 2017) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, has completed its first full calendar quarter with a realigned Canadian organization under the leadership of Deidre Deacon, General Manager. Following Deacon’s appointment last fall to the expanded new role, the organizational structure of the Canadian team was realigned to support the implementation of a new growth strategy that expands the company’s focus in Canada to new niche markets, deepens its channel partnerships, and includes plans to launch new solution and category products in the coming year. With Deacon at the helm, ViewSonic Canada is currently outpacing industry growth by doubling the large format display (LFD) business in both units and revenue year over year. Last quarter, ViewSonic Canada realized a 15% year-over-year increase in units shipped across all categories and double digit growth over the previous (Q4 2016) quarter.



“Last quarter’s results for Canada surpassed the company’s expectations and projected market growth in large format and interactive display products,” said Jeff Volpe, President for ViewSonic Americas. “Our brand promise has always been about great performance, fantastic value, and world class support. Under Deidre’s leadership, and with the support of our talented team and channel partners, we are delivering on this promise. With this year’s planned introduction of innovative new products and solutions that deliver a new level of display performance, our Canadian team is optimally positioned to support market demands and will continue to work with our partners to drive significant growth for all parties over the next five years.”

As General Manager of ViewSonic Canada, Deacon is the senior executive for the region and oversees all aspects of the business – from charting the future growth of sales, to maintaining and developing the dealer distribution network, to leading overall strategic business planning. She was appointed to this role following a successful 18-year tenure with ViewSonic that included progressive sales and management positions in both Canada and the U.S. Under Deacon’s leadership, the realigned Canadian team has delivered its best ever result in the large format display (LFD) category, outpacing overall industry growth.

Double-digit growth forecasted in large format and interactive displays

The demand for ViewSonic’s large format and interactive displays has been driven by new trends in resolution, colour performance, and productivity. At the forefront of this product line is the ViewSonic ViewBoard®, a line of interactive flat panel display solutions designed to increase engagement and collaboration by allowing users to write, highlight, edit, and transform documents and images on the screen in real time. The products are optimized for collaborative multi-user productivity for both the classroom and the corporate board room. According to PMA Research, the industry analyst firm that specializes in market data for the Display industry, the market for Interactive Flat Panel Displays (FPDs) grew at a rate of 60% in 2016 with expectations for unit growth of up to 50% in 2017. PMA reports that market growth in large format displays was 23% in 2016, with double-digit growth rates forecasted for 2017. PMA Research follows the Projector and Professional Large Flat Panel display markets exclusively, and has long been considered the authoritative source for market information about the display industry.

Calgary, Alberta-based Storm Division – a ViewSonic reseller focused on rapidly evolving website design, marketing, and software solutions – is one example of a channel partner that is successfully integrating a range of ViewSonic’s large format and interactive display products into solutions to meet the growing demand of its customers across a range of industries.

According to Nathan MacKenzie, Chief Marketing Officer at Storm Division, “The applications are now so diverse and the screen technology so much more robust and integrated. Demand is rapidly growing for large format display solutions, from small businesses and automotive operations to casinos and commercial properties. Everyone wants that wow factor. As interest broadens, we have a growing number of really creative and unique projects in the pipeline, and it’s just the beginning. The applications are endless.”

Annual Guide Recognizes the Best Channel Partner Programs in the Market

BREA, CA (April 11, 2016) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, announces that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company has given ViewSonic’s Finch Club a 5-Star rating in its 2016 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution providers or provide products through the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program Guide rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.



To determine the 2016 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company’s research team assessed each vendor’s application based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.

Meeting The Channel Company’s requirements for the Partner Program Guide, ViewSonic’s Finch Club™ Partner Program was honored with a 5-Star rating. ViewSonic’s specifically tailored channel partner program delivers a portfolio of resources and tools that empowers its resellers and solution providers to grow their business. Featured elements of Finch Club include vertical market training and advice, technical and sales training, selling opportunities, sales and marketing tools, referrals and much more.

“Solution providers have more choices than ever before when it comes to selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor with the right technologies and the right channel approach can mean the difference between successful adoption of a new technology or business model and an awkward, unnecessarily difficult integration,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star ratings recognize the best channel programs available in the market today and serve as a valuable resource for solution providers looking for the right fit.”

“To be honored with another 5-Star Rating from CRN’s Partner Program Guide is a terrific accomplishment for ViewSonic and a testament to our dedication to our channel partners,” said Clark Broyles, director of channel & VAR sales at ViewSonic. “As we continue to bring the latest technologies into our family of products, we also know it’s just as important to ensure that ViewSonic’s channel programs continue to deliver the support our partners need.”

The 2016 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the February issue of CRN and online.
