The founders of Elden Associates are Pioneers in the Automatic Identification Data Capture Industry
 
In 1982, Elaine and Denny Bourgeois started Elden Associates in Upstate New York writing data collection application software for the fledgling PC industry. Within two years, their software was interfaced to barcode data collection devices. This was the beginning, venturing down a very successful road, working with the latest technological advances in the computer and data collection industry.
 
Both Elaine and Denny have been sought after for their expertise in the AIDC industry. They have designed and installed systems from the White House in Washington, DC to Delphi in Juarez, Mexico.

Company History

 

After the beginnings in 1982, Elden Associates changed its name to Applied Vertical Systems (AVS) in 1987.  With the boom in the AIDC industry, the excitement grew over the unique capabilities of the interface software products that AVS had developed for the barcode industry.  In 1990, AVS was sold to Welch Allyn-Data Collection Division (DCD), now Honeywell Scanning and Mobility.(http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Site.aspx/)

 

Elaine, Denny and a key programmer went to Welch Allyn/Honeywell with the sale.  After four years, these key employees all moved to a Mid-West company, Carlton Bates (http://carlton-bates.com/) to build a Barcode Division.  After eight successful years, Elaine and Denny decided to enter the marketplace, again, as Elden Associates to provide the same quality service and products that their customers have always expectedElden Associates works with each unique customer, recognizing that the customer's uniqueness IS the challenge.  If every situation and solution were "cookie cutter," we would be in a very boring world, and Elden Associates wouldn't be here!

  
Elden Associates' customers' requirements are to expedite data collection and retrieval.  What companies and businesses use us?  Manufacturing, distribution, and retail are our primary clients Government agencies are a very close second, with their security requirements and demands.
 
Recently, Elden Associates has moved into the engineering consulting arena to assist clients in locating manufacturers who can provide custom or modified product for new products that are "on the drawing board."  This keeps Elden Associates' clients focused on their projects while knowing that the research is on-going for the partners that they require to bring the new products to the marketplace. 
 
 We Look Forward to Every Challange
