BCN is a 450-person Managed Service Provider based in Manchester operating across four UK sites. The tech stack is predominantly Microsoft-centric (Microsoft 365, Azure, Active Directory, Teams) with VMware/Hyper-V virtualization and Citrix remote access — typical for MSP infrastructure support. Notably, they're integrating Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Services into client engagements, and their active projects explicitly call out AI-integrated solutions, suggesting a strategic pivot toward higher-value advisory and tooling rather than pure infrastructure management.
