Six Time Aggie 100 Honoree JB Knowledge Technologies, Inc. Continues the Tradition of Excellence in the Technology Industry
College Station, Texas (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- In his dorm room, during his final year at Texas A&M in 2001, James Benham established JB Knowledge Technologies, Inc. Twelve years later, the company has now expanded into a leading information technology services provider and created the SmartBidNet, SmartCompliance, and SmartReality cloud and mobile solutions. The 9th Annual Aggie 100 Event hosted nearly 700 attendees at a luncheon held at The Zone Club at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field on Friday, October 25, where JBKnowledge was awarded the prestigious honor for the sixth time. JBKnowledge is one of only three companies in this year’s Aggie 100 to receive the award more than five times.
“It’s an incredible honor to be named among these Aggie enterprises from around the world. I grew up learning about entrepreneurism from my dad, but the fire really started to take root in me during my time at Texas A&M. Not only was Aggieland my company’s first official address, but it was the benchmark from which I set the goals, mission, and standards for myself, my company, and my employees,” stated Benham.
JBKnowledge specializes in enterprise application and database development, electronic data interchange, strategy consulting, mobile solutions, and web development for the construction and insurance industries. The company is headquartered in Bryan/College Station, TX with offices across the U.S.A. and Argentina. Innovation is the leading force behind JBKnowledge’s success as demonstrated by the Beta release of their new SmartReality mobile app, what has been called the next generation in technology for the construction industry. The app joins mobile devices, BIM files and paper plan files for an augmented reality experience that sets a new standard for construction project visualization.
With a strong commitment to innovation, integrity, and excellence, JBKnowledge has quickly established itself as an IT industry leader and found continued success and recognition as an Aggie 100 honoree.
