Business Description
Beam helps media and entertainment companies increase the ROI on their fixed assets by providing an Asset Intelligence Platform that gives them the tools to better own, operate and maintain those assets.
Company Background
We are industry mavericks who experienced daily problems while working on production sets, at manufacturers and with system integrators. We found that data was dispersed across critical systems which increased production costs and caused needless work for teams. We pulled together a highly experienced team with decades of industry knowledge and advanced technical degrees.
Problem/Solution
Media & Entertainment companies rely on thousands of fixed assets to produce and deliver content, music, live events, sports and other forms of entertainment to the masses. While the technology used to capture, produce and distribute media is advanced, the tools to manage the ownership, operation and movement of technology assets is archaic. Many firms still rely on spreadsheets, legacy on premise software and traditional workflows.
Products/Services
Asset intelligence is an approach to asset management that focuses on increasing the ROI of deployed technology and fixed assets. It’s a data focused solution that links data between internal and external sources to deliver knowledge and insights that drive lower service costs, extend asset life cycles and reduce OpEx.
Technologies/Special Know-how
Product Data Integration (PhD from CTO), AI, Machine Learning, Graph Databases
Markets
Film & Cinema production studios, professional and collegiate sports venues, broadcast studios, house of worship, corporate communications, etc.
Competition

Business Model and Distribution Channels
Direct B2B Sales and growing embedded solution with system integrators.
