BCN Group gets a Public View.

BCN Group has acquired application and analytics business Public View as part of its cunning plan to push into the health sector

For those not in the know, Public View provides performance monitoring and benchmarking services to the NHS. It is based around Microsoft’s .Net, and Azure Cloud Platform.  It collects data from hundreds of public data sources automatically before combining them into a single intuitive portal for NHS leaders.

The acquisition by north-west based BCN follows that of healthcare-focused data analytics and process automation specialist Cloud2 in May last year.

And the gold Microsoft and Dell partner claims the addition of Public View will strengthen its existing services to “create a powerful and market-leading portfolio of analytics, reporting and benchmarking services to the healthcare sector”.

BCN Group Rob Davies CEO said: “The acquisition of Public View allows us to provide existing and new clients with a complete and comprehensive suite of cloud-based analytics services delivered by skilled and experienced experts.

Businesses booming in the North West

More than 43,255 new businesses were started up in the North West for the 12 months until September 2021, according to ONS data.

It looks like the North West of England is leading the UK’s COVID recovery, making it a ripe target for Channel sales teams. Several Manchester-based MSPs and resellers have attracted private equity attention over the last few years. ANS Group secured investment from Inflexion earlier this year, while BCN Group has been backed by Beech Tree Private Equity since 2018 and has since made several acquisitions.

For the 12 months until the end of September 2021, a total of 43,255 new businesses were established in the North West of England – an increase of 19 percent, or 6,965 more than the same period the previous year.

Meanwhile, the UK overall experienced a 15 percent increase in new businesses being started during the same period.
