Testimonial

At this time, no one needs convincing about the power of data, phrases like “data-driven decisions” and “data is the new oil” are so well used they’ve almost become a cliché. Maybe the social housing sector has been slower than some to wake up to this reality but our eyes are now wide open and we’re embracing data to give new insights in order that we can meet customer needs and build sustainable homes and communities.

Stephen Batley, Assistant Director of Business Improvement, Together Housing Group

HARNESSING DATA TO DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE

BCN works with social housing providers throughout the UK, helping them to use their data more effectively to drive change.

We understand the breadth of data housing providers are working with, as well as the sector’s new and evolving targets. We also know that many providers are operating with archaic, disparate systems, but that the challenges remain the same, whether you have 250,000 properties or 10 – to maximise operational efficiency and make better decisions by providing access to the right data, at the right time, to the right people.

BCN is at the forefront of data science within the Microsoft stack. Though every landlord we work with requires a bespoke solution, because of our sector experience we’re able to apply a level of aggregate learning to solve your challenges faster and get you the insights you need.
