M2 Consulting

What M2 Consulting does

M2 Consulting is a privately held, Newnan, Georgia-based IT services firm founded in 1998 that specializes in managed application hosting and implementation consulting for IBM Maximo and IBM TRIRIGA enterprise facility-management platforms. The company's flagship offering is Mantis Application Hosting, a proprietary hosting platform co-located at AT&T Internet Data Centers that delivers SaaS and client-owned software hosting with redundant computing, full software administration, database backups, and 24/7 frontline support, supplemented by implementation methodologies such as QuickStart Turnkey Implementation and Live Implementation that compress deployment cycles to days rather than months.

The company's revenue model combines recurring managed hosting subscriptions with project-based professional services including business process analysis, data migration, Crystal Reports design, and training. M2 sells primarily through consultative enterprise field sales to facility owners and operators across corporate real estate, facility management outsourcing, education, healthcare, government, and hospitality verticals, with named clients spanning NASA, Bank of America, Delta Air Lines, Hyatt Hotels, Stanford University, and CBRE. Per the company, Mantis currently serves over 12,000 users across 300+ sites for more than 40 clients, representing over 750 million square feet of deployed facility management software.

M2 is founder-led by CEO Rick Bevington (a former Johnson Controls General Manager) and VP of Application Hosting Steve Platt, with reported headcount of 1-10 employees, no institutional funding, and no AI/ML product surface. The business model relies on deep IBM platform partnerships, decades of accumulated facility-management domain knowledge, and a proprietary hosting platform; the company's strategic positioning is as the oldest and largest TRIRIGA Application Hosting service provider globally.

Direct peers

• Planon: Established IWMS vendor serving corporate real estate and facility management end-customers with a SaaS platform that competes against TRIRIGA implementations where M2 operates.
• Interloc Solutions: Specialist IBM Maximo implementation partner offering consulting, implementation, and managed services for Maximo and related EAM platforms — the closest functional peer to M2's Maximo/TRIRIGA implementation + hosting motion.
• AssetWorks: Provider of EAM/IWMS software and implementation services to facility, fleet, and public-sector organizations; competes head-to-head with Maximo implementations where M2 operates.

Broad incumbents

• MRI Software: Provider of real estate and IWMS software including MRI ProLease/horizon; competes with TRIRIGA in corporate real estate and facility management implementations for medium and large enterprises.
• Eptura: Large workplace and asset management software provider (iOffice, ServiceTrades, MRI integrations) selling IWMS modules to the same corporate real estate buyer that M2 serves with TRIRIGA.
• Johnson Controls (OpenBlue): Global facility services and smart-buildings platform — and M2 founder Rick Bevington's previous employer — competing for the same enterprise FM digitalization budget and bundling software with outsourced operations.
• Trimble (Trimble Unity / Viewpoint): Trimble Unity Facility Management is a cloud-native IWMS competitor for asset, space, and maintenance management, and competes for the same enterprise and government facility software budget M2 targets.

Emerging players

• ServiceNow: Cloud-native platform whose Integrated Risk Management and workplace modules are increasingly being positioned against legacy EAM/IWMS suites like Maximo/TRIRIGA — a strategic threat to M2's hosting niche.
