Normally, thinking of UNICOM (News - Alert) Engineering brings in thoughts of application deployment systems or lifecycle management mechanisms. But recently, UNICOM Engineering took on a completely different role as a force for good in golf. The company staged the annual UNICOM Engineering Golf Classic, an event which not only allowed the company to show off its collective skill on the links, driving some masterful tee shots, but also driving some awareness for a few major charities as well as some cash in said charities' direction.
The UNICOM Engineering Golf Classic, which took place October 7 on The Tribute Golf Course in The Colony, raised both awareness and better than $18,000 for a set of the company's favorite charities, as representatives from the Will to Live Foundation, the Allies in Service program, and the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County were all on hand. Said representatives also reportedly engaged in pushup challenges and offered hugs all around, as well as some crucial perspectives on just what purposes each charity served, and why it was so vital to keep each operating.
The Children's Advocacy Center, for example, discussed its role in helping to protect children against abuse and neglect in the area, allowing for a centralized approach which kept the children from having to tell the story of abuse and neglect multiple times. Allies in Service focused on providing various services for military staff returning home, and the Will to Live Foundation focused on preventing suicide, particularly in young people.
While UNICOM Engineering took on a clearly charitable bent for the event, its primary focus is somewhere much different, particularly in a wide variety of lifecycle management and application deployment tools. For instance, the company offers tools for global logistics and support & maintenance of currently-operating systems, as well as the ability to design solutions from the ground up and put said systems in place to operate with current systems on a fully integrated basis. Additionally, UNICOM's Lifecycle Engine for Application Deployment (LEAD) system offers plenty of advantages for those trying to get an application into market-ready stages.
While it's clear that UNICOM Engineering has plenty of capability in its field, covering a variety of points in application development and lifecycle management, it's equally clear that this is not a company merely devoted to its chosen field. UNICOM here acts as a sound corporate citizen, a status that many companies avidly seek, providing help to those groups that need it most and helping to boost awareness of these groups' activities as well. UNICOM has already touched many lives with its ability to augment application development; so too has it touched lives with its promotion of — and financial support for — organizations that provide valuable services for the community.
It's a good effort for UNICOM, and hopefully, while fun was likely had in the process of running the golf classic, so too was significant progress made toward an end to things like child abuse, teen suicide and returning soldiers unable to remake a life back home. While these things are likely to never go away fully, it's a good bet that, with companies like UNICOM Engineering helping out, there will be that much less to see of such things in the near future.
