Our Company
Private Sector
Beacon provides customers with strategic solutions that deliver equally on both business process management and innovative technological capabilities. This is entirely in keeping with the backgrounds of the founders. Mike MacEwen is a graduate of the Harvard Business School and ML Mackey is an Electrical Engineer from Lehigh University. These two founders shared a common vision of the strategic significance of a balanced approach to product development and delivery.
From scratch, Beacon created its own successful niche - Collaborative Performance Support software applications. These applications provided increased workforce efficiency while improving strategic visibility into an organization's performance, capabilities and knowledge. For the first eight years of the company's existence this business model worked well enough to land clients such as MetLife, IBM and Olympus, consistently competing with and winning against larger competitors. It was our innovative products as well as our attention to customer service and quality that kept them returning.
Public Sector
Over the past 10 years, Beacon has been able to leverage its Private sector experience in the Federal Marketspace. The cost-savings and performance improving capabilities of our products have led the U.S. Navy to acquire and actively deploy Beacon products. Beacon has also participated extensively in Small Business Advocacy in the public marketplace through leadership roles in Associations such as NDIA and SBANE as well as actively testifying on Capital Hill. Leveraging both Federal R&D funds and Acquisition funds, the Company has come full circle, creating a broader and deeper product offering for both our private and public sector customers.
Team
From the beginning, Beacon has placed an emphasis on building a high quality Team. We do this by bringing in people who are enthusiastic, smart and passionate about developing and delivering software. By keeping the organization flat and respecting individuals, everyone has input into what they are working on and how they do it. It is this focus on teamwork that enables us to create innovative solutions that meet actual customer needs.
