Amazing what they can do in these economic times when companies are laying off due to lack of revenu, BEAC is doing just fine.

Although nobody likes a quarterly downturn, perfect consistency is almost impossible in IT and in the current economy. They ran into the same thing a couple of years ago and bounced right back.

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (BEAC) and the End of Business-As-Usual

Over the past decade, changes have been bubbling up within the Information Technology industry at a rate faster than perhaps ever before. Not since the spread of the personal computer and the beginnings of the Internet have so many things been happening in such a short time. But things aren’t just changing because of the introduction of a single dramatic new technology. There are a number of significant technological and social shifts that are opening up incalculable new opportunities, while requiring a profound rethink of how business should be done.

Although a number of these developments remain largely underground, where they’ve fermented, known primarily to those in IT, some have already burst their shell and are now propagating in popular culture. Among the newest to make the break are the fields of Big Data and Cloud Computing, fast becoming the hottest topics at both tech and business conventions. And each of these topics has a dozen off-shoots that may or may not be pertinent to a particular business enterprise.

The fact is that many companies, including major corporations, aren’t sure where all of this is going. Even the top IT gurus have different ideas about what it all means, and how to best prepare, leaving much of the business world in a quandary about what to invest in and how fast to do it. All they know is that it’s no longer business-as-usual.

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, a global provider of IT solutions, doesn’t pretend it can foretell the future. Rather the company focuses on ensuring that its many large clients around the world have IT environments that are not only integrated, comprehensive, and reliable, but are also flexibly designed to take on a future that is not always predictable. It requires exactly the opposite of the patchwork project-oriented approach so common in the world of IT outsourcing and servicing.

Beacon becomes a partner with its clients, giving it the opportunity for an in-depth understanding of each company’s unique goals and requirements, both short term and long term. By approaching design and implementation with an eye for the whole organization and for how the newest technologies may change the landscape in years to come, Beacon offers a form of IT stability that is increasingly hard to find. It’s one of the reasons the company has weathered the global recession so much better than its competitors.

What I like about them is that they not focused only on the present but they are making their software flexible so that I can handle what the future might bring.

I enjoyed that part of the article as well armedical, and for a company to provide it's services in that manner is a breath of fresh air.

Yeah most companies do just enough for the moment so you can call them when upgrades are needed.

Beacon is like the long-extinct family doctor . . . someone who really knows the family and can anticipate needs. The healthcare industry could learn a lesson from Beacon.

They are looking out for the best interest of their client, this allows people to be faithful and to referred their “friends” to them. That is how you make money honorably.

[stockseeker30]

They are also showing everyone that you can be successful keep these types of business ethics.

[mwest]

That is a huge point to make because old business sense says you must do the opposite in order to succeed which caused any companies themselves to be very untrusting.

Business and society in general is becoming digitized, attempting to reduce everything, including human beings, to numbers that they can more easily crunch. Unfortunately, numbers aren't the only thing getting crunched in the process.

[armedical]

The truth is that with so many processes are replaced with computers and people are having to change careers.

[mwest]

With so much data out there and many of them are so sensitive in nature, the need for better solutions is a must.

[stockseeker30]

This is a International problem and with the services BEAC provides companies everywhere can get this under control.

Big data is big business, which is why Beacon's expertise in the area of data centers is so important. Colorado Springs, for example, promotes themselves as a hub for data centers, offering tax breaks. It brings in a lot of employment and dollars.

They have had such a successful first quarter that I would not expect anything less from their second quarter.

[mwest]

From this article it sounds as if those executives that were formely in the sales and operations leadership roles, were not getting it done or giving it their all.

[stockseeker30]

It is really important to know when a change is needed and the right timing is everything BEAC is confident in their decision and stockholders should be too.

They of course are referring to the replacement of Jerry Bowman with Paris Arey and Michael Martin, to provide more weight to the company's business development and project operations efforts. Not surprising, given their earlier announcement that project delays will show up as an "isolated revenue shortfall for the quarter [ending March 31] of approximately 35% versus the same period last year". They went on to say that their current quarter outlook (ending June 30) should be much better.
