Beacon Enterprise Solutions, Atlas Electric form global partnership

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a specialist in the design, implementation and management of high performance Information Technology Systems (ITS) infrastructure solutions, announced the execution of a global partnership agreement with Atlas Industrial Electric Co. (Atlas Electric).

The partnership agreement provides the framework for Beacon Solutions and Atlas Electric to work together in order to execute the design, engineering, construction and managed services for a variety of mutually beneficial client projects going forward. These joint endeavors may range from network and electrical projects, to advanced technology systems, to smart buildings, data centers and various other technology solutions for existing and potential clients.

The enterprise facility, security and IT management sectors are increasingly moving towards an expectation of combined low and high voltage expertise that will introduce new levels of technical performance and economies of scale into the design, engineering and construction of the built environment. The companies say the partnership is expected to result in the ability of the combined Atlas/Beacon team to provide more comprehensive technology system services to existing and future clients – increasing their technical and operational capabilities while introducing the cost effectiveness that comes from single-sourcing.

“On behalf of Beacon’s entire management team, I am pleased to announce this strategic partnership agreement with Atlas Electric and look forward to working on our first joint projects together,” said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon Solutions. “Atlas Electric is a leading provider of electrical, construction, maintenance and repair for some of the largest national and international commercial and industrial enterprises. With our combined low and high-voltage expertise and strong reputation for customer satisfaction, we look forward to mutually expanding our service offerings, as well as our existing and potential client base.”
