Manchester-headquartered IT services provider BCN has achieved Microsoft Managed Partner status, formalising a closer working relationship with the technology vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The designation enables the cloud, data, security, and artificial intelligence (AI) provider to collaborate directly with Microsoft\u2019s UK account teams, align commercial strategies, and expand co-sell initiatives across the mid-market sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BCN currently holds all core Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, alongside several advanced specialisations, and was previously amongst the first global partners to secure Microsoft\u2019s Support Services designation. The firm has integrated Microsoft’s AI tools across its internal operations ahead of client deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rob Davies, chief executive of BCN, said: \u201cAchieving Microsoft Managed Partner status reflects the capability, commitment, and customer outcomes our team has delivered over many years. More importantly, it strengthens our ability to help organisations navigate one of the most significant technology shifts of our generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur ambition is simple: to help customers realise tangible business value from AI, data, cloud and security technologies through practical, secure and measurable transformation. This closer alignment with Microsoft enables us to bring even greater expertise, innovation and support to organisations looking to accelerate their digital and AI ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liz Leigh-Bowler, Director Partner Development at Microsoft UK, said: \u201cAs organisations increasingly look to harness the power of AI, partners like BCN play a critical role in helping customers innovate with confidence. We\u2019re thrilled to welcome BCN as a Microsoft Managed Partner and look forward to accelerating our shared growth and customer success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The status upgrade follows BCN’s broader buy-and-build strategy across the UK IT channel, which included the acquisition of public sector digital transformation specialist Windsor Telecom. That expansion directly aligns with BCN’s strategy to expand its managed service delivery and cloud capacity for regional mid-market and public sector clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
