Beacon's Services Strategy
Our goal isn't to be the biggest consulting firm in
the business. Rather, it is to consistently achieve
excellent results for our customers. Results that
include working with our customers' teams to install
new systems that improve and streamline operations
for increased cost effectiveness and overall
efficiency.

OUR APPROACH
Our approach isn't rigid, nor is it overly complex. It is based on an understanding of the critical success factors
that are driving our customers to upgrade and integrate all their information systems. On every engagement - to
implement new systems, integrate whole suites of information products or interface critical legacy systems - we apply
our knowledge and experience to configure systems that fully support your business.
Starting with the premise that implementation is a collaborative process, we then break it down into clear and
manageable steps that are supported by detailed tasks assigned to members of the joint team. Since Beacon professionals
are specialists in particular disciplines, we can provide you with the most highly qualified resources in the industry.
We take responsibility for your success.

BEACON IS THERE TO HELP
Beacon understands the marketplace transformations that have swept us into the new century. Emphasis on financial
reporting has become true financial decision-making; customer service is now the operative difference in outpacing
your competition, connectivity and integration are the basis for success in the next decade. Sound decisions made in
today's global, fast-paced market require on-demand, accurate information, delivered in "Internet time"; information
that we can deliver with today's systems as an intrinsic part of your business process. Together, we can derive maximum
benefit from your PeopleSoft system, reducing total cost of ownership.
Scaling the solution to the business need is key. By understanding your motivating factors in committing to solutions
that facilitate business process improvement, we contribute to your success.
Beacon plans your project with you. Depending on your specific needs, we select experts in project definition
disciplines who help transform your strategies into operational plans. And by identifying and quantifying project
drivers--those factors that determine the size, duration, and complexity of the project--we can mutually commit the
right resources at the right time and help you deliver clear value from your investment. In addition to overseeing the
project, our teams not only focus on your people, but appreciate what makes your company unique and competitive.

YOUR PROJECT
Your Beacon project team includes senior application consultants who know how to design and configure the system to
comply with your project drivers. Our extensive experience in translating business solutions into system solutions
greatly reduces the effort needed to make those upfront, critical decisions.
Beacon’s technical assistance is delivered by individuals who understand how applications work. They understand the
PeopleSoft environment and how it will work in conjunction with your internal systems, network and operating system.
The complex interrelationship of these resources necessitates a single, coordinated effort by people in the know. We
bring with us Beacon-developed tools and templates that have been used successfully in over 300 system installations
to expedite what can be a challenging task to the inexperienced.
The project team is always composed of Beacon professional consultants who have successfully implemented Financial,
Supply Chain, HCM, and EPM/BI solutions in similar organizations. People who understand unique reporting
requirements, systems supporting customer service, best business practices in materials management, and change management
to effectively deploy the new information systems technology. People who understand providing quality as a fact within
established guidelines and timeframes.

TRAINING
Since a system is only as good as the people using it, our Application Consultants prepare customized materials
meaningful to your particular audience, often leveraging Oracle's UPK product. In training workshops conducted
on-site, users are taught how to use the system and how to get the most productivity out of it. Supplied with
reference documentation for back-up, you leave our workshop ready and able to use the new system.
We get it done. Our customers - with minimal interruption - manage their business, not a system conversion.
