Applied

You asked about “Applied — Applied is a technology company.” I found multiple distinct companies and brands named “Applied” or “Applied Technology.” Below I give a concise, structured profile for the most likely interpretations and note alternatives so you can pick which one you want expanded. If you tell me which specific “Applied” you mean (for example: Applied Materials, Applied Micro, Applied Intuition, Applied Technology (ATI), Applied Tech (IT MSP), or the historic Australian Applied Technology/MicroBee), I will expand the chosen profile into a full company brief with sources.

High‑level note on ambiguity

• “Applied” by itself is ambiguous; there are several active companies and historical firms with that name or “Applied Technology” in their name (examples below). Tell me which one you mean for a focused profile.

Likely candidates (pick one)

• Applied Materials — large, publicly traded semiconductor equipment maker (if you meant the single‑word “Applied,” this is a common intent).
  - Applied Intuition — provider of simulation and software tooling for autonomous vehicles.
  - Applied Micro / AppliedMicro Circuits — (historical/semiconductor IP company now part of other firms).
  - Applied Technology, Inc. (ATI) — U.S. defense/engineering contractor and DoD services firm[1].
  - Applied Technology Services / Applied Tech (MSP) — IT managed services and cybersecurity for SMBs, founded ~1999[2][3].
  - Applied (historic Australian firm, MicroBee) — founded 1975, maker of MicroBee personal computer[4].

Concise candidate summaries (each fits a couple of paragraphs)

• Applied Materials (if this is the intended “Applied”): Applied Materials is a global semiconductor equipment, services and software company that supplies tools for chip fabrication and display production. It sells to foundries, memory makers and integrated device manufacturers, addressing process steps like deposition, etch, inspection and metrology. The firm benefits from secular trends in advanced node scaling, memory capacity growth and heterogeneous integration; its business model combines capital equipment sales with recurring service and spare‑parts revenue. (If you want this profile I will cite recent filings and market research.)

• Applied Intuition (if you meant this firm): Applied Intuition builds simulation and developer tooling for autonomous vehicle engineers to validate perception, planning and control software at scale. Its product suite focuses on simulation, data labeling, scenario generation and safety validation for AV programs across passenger, trucking and robotics customers. It addresses the hard problem of safely validating edge cases that are rare or dangerous to reproduce in the real world, and has grown via partnerships and multi‑year contracts with OEMs and AV tier suppliers. (I can provide fundraising, customers, and product details on request.)

• Applied Technology, Inc. (ATI): Applied Technology, Inc. (ATI) is a privately owned small business that provides program management, R&D, engineering services, hardware design and fabrication, and strategic planning focused on U.S. Department of Defense customers; it holds GSA/OASIS+ contract vehicles for quick reaction work[1]. Its differentiation is government domain expertise, hands‑on engineering capabilities, and contract vehicles enabling federal procurement. (Source: company site[1].)

• Applied Technology Services / Applied Tech (MSP): Applied Technology Services (ATS) / Applied Tech is an IT services and managed security provider that delivers cloud, enterprise modernization, cybersecurity and hybrid‑cloud services; it positions itself as a trusted partner for SMBs and has emphasized growth and industry recognition in 2024–2025[2][3]. It highlights a people‑centric service model, Microsoft partnership and SOC 2 Type II compliance for regulated customers[3]. (Sources: company sites[2][3].)

• Historic Applied Technology (Australia — MicroBee): Applied Technology (founded 1975 by Owen Hill) produced MicroBee home computers in the 1980s and was an early Australian personal‑computer manufacturer that supplied schools and niche customers[4]. Its importance is historical rather than current commercial footprint. (Source: Wikipedia[4].)
