FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Beacon Introduces
I3 MAC
Infrastructure Management System
I3 MAC Implementation Can Reduce Enterprise Infrastructure Management Expenditures by up to 30%
LOUISVILLE, KY; CINCINNATI, OH; COLUMBUS, OH; November 24, 2008. Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTCBB Stock Symbol: BEAC) today introduced the Company’s I3 MAC (Innovative, Intelligent, Installation, Move, Add, Change) infrastructure management system.
“By engaging Beacon Solutions to manage their low voltage infrastructure, large enterprise customers can reduce their annual IT/Telecom expenditures by up to 30%,” said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon Solutions. “As economic conditions become more challenging, we believe our global customers will aggressively seek to improve efficiency and profitability. As a result, we see significant growth opportunities for our core services business in the current economic environment.”
The I3 MAC system is the result of a seven year internal development program, originated by Beacon Solutions’ Chief Operating Officer, Ken Kerr. Development began at Cetcon, Inc. in Cincinnati, OH. Cetcon, which was acquired by Beacon on December 20, 2007, was a pioneer in the application of perpetual network design management and tracking solutions.
“The I3 MAC system effectively centralizes control, tracking, documentation and implementation of all low voltage infrastructure activity within an organization,” stated Ken Kerr, COO of Beacon Solutions and former President of Cetcon. “By eliminating reliance upon unrelated vendors with varying processes, procedures and pricing for facility level infrastructure management, Beacon Solutions’ I3MAC system can improve efficiency and significantly reduce the ongoing costs of infrastructure management.”
“As a result of the consolidation of the four IT/Telecom companies which came together to form Beacon Solutions, we gained a unique combination of experience and perspective in the areas of network design, engineering, installation, maintenance and
support,” commented Rick Mills, President of Beacon Solutions. “The resulting knowledge base led to the integration of the I3 MAC system into Beacon Solutions’ infrastructure management services offering.”
