Richard Applegate is a Director of Engineering Services at Assured Telematics Inc.. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Rick at Octagon when he worked as an applications engineer, as a sales engineer, and as a regional sales manager. I feel that Rick is able to bring a high level of professionalism and a high level of quality to whatever task he was working on. Rick’s technical competence allowed him to help our customers find the correct solution for their needs in a timely and accurate manner. Rick has the ability to work independently but is also able to function very well in a team environment. As a software engineer at Octagon I always enjoyed working with Rick due to his in depth technical knowledge and his ability to apply that knowledge to benefit the customer. I know that Rick will continue to create value in whatever organization he works for." and "Richard and I worked for different companies on the same DOD program. Our customer identified a minor technical problem and Richard was the first to suggest that we collaborate to find a solution. The problem turned out to be caused another company’s equipment, but Richard's actions were commendable and his goal was to serve the customers best interests. A Sr. Member of the customer’s Technical Staff was very sorry to hear that Richard was no longer with Octagon Systems."
