BCN acquires Public View to bolster healthcare offering

Public View provides performance monitoring and benchmarking services to the NHS

BCN Group has announced that it has continued its expansion into the healthcare sector with the acquisition of application and analytics business Public View.

Public View provides performance monitoring and benchmarking services to the NHS - underpinned by Microsoft, .Net, and Azure Cloud Platform - and collates 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".

Rob Davies, CEO of BCN Group, 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.

"It not only complements and strengthens our existing market position offering but takes our combined capability to the next level and further establishes BCN as a key service provider across the public sector and healthcare arena.

"I am delighted to welcome Public View to the BCN family, and to work alongside its incredible team as we seamlessly merge its products, services and processes into the wider BCN Group."

Beech Tree Private Equity backed-BCN also adds that it will use Public View's capabilities to "benefit other organisations in housing associations and financial services".

"We have achieved great things since launching Public View to the market in 2018 and have established the business as an innovative leader in the benchmarking analytics industry," Tom Ridgeway, founder at Public View said.

"I'm incredibly excited by about the acquisition and what it will mean to the Public View clients as we bring the combined capability of the two businesses together to continue to deliver exceptional services and outcomes to our clients."
