Green Beacon Solutions Opens New Office and Announces Corporate Updates

Office expansion and investments in resources, research and development, and marketing represents another milestone for ERP and CRM business technology firm

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Beacon Solutions, a leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics® enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions and business technology consulting and managed services, today announced the opening of a new office outside of Hartford, Connecticut.

“Q1 and Q2 2012 were strong quarters for Green Beacon”

The new office houses approximately 11 resources and enables Green Beacon Solutions to better serve clients located between their Massachusetts headquarters and their New York office. Designed around a core principle of fostering employee collaboration within the Company, the new office is an innovative space for an expanding organization that is committed to providing clients with world-class, practical business technologies and solutions that deliver a rapid and substantial ROI.

The Company also announced the following organizational updates:

• Between January and September 2012 the firm’s headcount rose 48%, essentially representing an increase in technical resources spread among the firm’s ERP and CRM practices. This increase in resources is a direct result of the new business opportunities that were identified in the first six months of the year.
• As announced in July, Kostas Tzigizis, one of Green Beacon’s founding partners and former Vice President of Consulting, transitioned into a new role as Vice President of Research and Development. In this position, Tzigizis is responsible for identifying and managing strategic initiatives to support the Company’s future growth. These initiatives include developing and packaging market-ready solutions from Green Beacon’s library of intellectual property (IP) acquired through 10+ years of consulting engagements. The IP, or “software accelerators”, streamline a project’s implementation cycle by integrating with and supporting common industry practices to minimize project costs and focus resources on resolving a client’s critical business-technology challenges.
• Recent marketing investments, primarily sponsorships at leading industry events such as ProVenue Exchange, ALSD Conference and Tradeshow, and the recent SEAT Conference Event, have strengthened awareness for Green Beacon’s Sports CRM solution within the sports-entertainment market, while driving new opportunities such as the one announced earlier this year with the Boston Red Sox™.

“Q1 and Q2 2012 were strong quarters for Green Beacon,” said Benjamin A. Holtz, President and CEO of Green Beacon Solutions. “Our success through the first half of 2012 represents a renewed need in the marketplace for ERP and CRM enterprise software and services. The growing demand for our customized solutions, particularly for ERP in the distribution-wholesale market, and CRM in the sports-entertainment and investment banking sectors, reflects a significant number of opportunities. Our overall pipeline is growing rapidly with a number of new prospects, and we anticipate continued positive growth throughout 2012. Also, with the opening of our new office outside of Hartford, we’re now able to serve new and existing clients within the Massachusetts-Connecticut-New York corridor quickly and effectively.”

Green Beacon Solutions’ new office is located at: 321 Research Parkway in Meriden, CT 06450, and is accessible from either Interstate 91 or the Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15).
