One of Beacon’s senior software developers has wowed judges and potential investors at the Microsoft Bizspark Azure Startup Camp by coming up with the best of five competing teams’ ideas for developing a commercially viable application using the Windows Azure cloud computing platform.

The winning application greatly enhances users’ experience of one of the most popular activities in Australia. It is intelligently designed, easily scalable, and will be developed for both the Internet and mobile platforms.

Beacon is happy to encourage and support our developers in such innovative ventures. Three members of Beacon’s software development team attended the Azure platform briefing, and our senior developer had Saturday morning till Sunday afternoon to write the code before presenting a 10-minute pitch to judges.

Since hearing the great news, Beacon has started to delve further into the ways our team can support this exciting initiative to fruition while respecting intellectual property rights.

Clients who would like to develop similar leading-edge ideas to strengthen their marketing or other business strategies are welcome to contact Beacon to explore possibilities.
