Beacon has been selected by this global pharmaceutical client to provide planning, design and engineering services for its global data center.  Although the name of this client and exact project details are confidential at the request of the client, this new agreement represents further penetration within the Pharmaceutical vertical market by Beacon.  This project will utilize Beacon's data center design expertise relating to ITS infrastructure, data equipment and mechanical / electrical systems.  Beacon is expected to complete this project in the late third quarter of this fiscal year, which ends September 30, 2011.

"The signing of another Fortune 500 client is the beginning of new growth and momentum for our company, following our decision last year to refocus on our core business," stated Bruce Widener, Chairman and CEO of Beacon.  "Our success with other large companies in the pharmaceutical vertical allows Beacon to leverage our core expertise for ITS services and drive revenue in this vertical market segment where we expect increased activity in fiscal 2011."

"The medical and pharmaceutical industries contain a high-density of sophisticated technology systems, which historically have been serviced by a patchwork quilt of local and regional services firms," stated Jerry Bowman, President and COO of Beacon.  "Beacon has a demonstrated history of providing clear value and market leadership by assisting global and multi-national companies in providing standardized delivery of complex ITS infrastructure wherever they need it, not just where we already happen to have an office.  We know this space well and adding another US-based pharmaceutical client of this size is the first of several major new clients expected to be announced this fiscal year.  We look forward to working with this new client and expect to follow the trend established with our other pharmaceutical clients and develop a long-term relationship."
