How we do it
01
Simplicity
We believe technology should make your life easier. Our mission is to provide you with technology that’s both cutting-edge and simple to use. So you can do what you do best—even better.
02
Unrivaled service
Exceptional service is what we’re known for, and that means integrity, honesty, friendliness, and transparency. Our technical skills may be the cream of the crop, but the way we deliver them will always be our bread & butter.
03
Quality
You rely on a wide range of technologies in order to do your job efficiently. We offer only the most reputable, highest-rated, top-quality brands and products, thereby minimizing issues and costly downtime.
Why we do it
At the end of the day, we have a passion for helping people go further by leveraging the right technologies. The cornerstone of our company has always been our unrivaled service, and we take great pride in knowing that what sets us apart is our unique ability to take care of every technology our customers might need under one roof. Applied Connective’s choices will always reflect the honest, authentic, “Nebraskan” approach that our clients and communities can appreciate and on which our company was raised. Our vision is to continue building strong, enduring, and mutually successful relationships with our wide range of valued clients.
Where we serve
GOING THE EXTRA MILE
Concerned about distance? We’re not! We manage your tech remotely from our offices in Albion, Columbus, and Norfolk, but we’re just as happy to hit the road for a face-to-face when on-site work is necessary to make sure we’re delivering unrivaled service. It’s a privilege to be trusted by hundreds of partners from Knox to Nuckolls and Holt to Hitchcock counties throughout Nebraska and beyond.
