LITTLETON, Colo. and MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Field Nation, the leading online work marketplace for connecting people to get work done, announced today that it is partnering with Magrish International and Sage Research to help bring their services to the AV, communication and collaboration industries.

Field Nation is a work platform connecting organizations with skilled, independent contractors anywhere in North America. With the reach of Magrish International and Sage Research, the Field Nation platform will extend to experienced AV contractors who are available, often within just a few hours, to complete projects of practically any level.

The AV industry has a particular need for this type of service as many of their products require knowledgeable technicians to install, configure and maintain communication and collaboration technologies that power modern organizations. This lack of immediately available expertise limits growth in two ways: They are limited in scale to the amount of customers they can service with their existing technician force, and they are limited in geography to areas where they have "feet on the ground." By using Field Nation, the AV industry gains instant reach throughout North America, at any scale.

Field Nation service providers offer various skill sets and organizations are able to search and engage with contractors based on their specific needs. The Field Nation platform features:

• Approximately 50,000 service providers registered on the platform.
• More than 4,000 techncians with "Audio Visual" and related skillsets
• 300 certified ProTec technicians
• More than 1,300 Cisco Certified technicians
• More than 200 Avaya Certified technicians

As JD Vaughn of Sage Research explains:

"Magrish International and I decided to partner on a premise that has unified us over the years; Let's do what whatever we can to help grow our industry and support service providers, manufacturers and integrators. Field Nation will help us do just that."

As part of this partnership, Magrish and Sage will work with Field Nation to provide Executive Briefings designed to help AV industry organizations understand how they can get started on their path to reduce staffing expenses, as well as improve their top line revenue by opening up new markets that they do not serve today. 

"I was introduced to Field Nation more than a year ago, and have used the free service to find installers in remote areas throughout the U.S. with great success," said Emily Magrish, President at Magrish International. "It is easy to use, and makes it possible for me to book revenue I would have been unable to otherwise."
