History
Founded in 2006 by Paul Stewart, P.S. Ideas L.L.C. was created as an intellectual property holding company for Stewart's first trademark, 'Plaque is Whack'. The mark was used in commerce as a promotional slogan for dental practices and later other medical practices that involve plaque.
In 2014, Stewart repurposed the company to focus on broadcast engineering with the award of a broadcast engineering maintenance contract.
In 2017, the company changed again with the addition of its current trade name 'Summit Technology Group'. Stewart hired his first employee and signed a lease on a small office suite in Southfield, Michigan.
One year later, Paul Stewart and his brother Mark found and purchased the Major Second building in Keego Harbor, Michigan. The office serves as Summit Technology Group's headquarters.
After many years of development, SideCAR Media Logger was initially released in 2018 adding software products to the offerings of the company.
