BCX Monitoring- and Observability-as-a-Service
delivers 24×7 proactive monitoring, performance
optimisation and operational assurance.
Home > Solutions > Services > Monitoring
In a globally competitive market, you need more than just always-on, functional ICT systems: you need systems that are continually optimised and proactively managed, with operational intelligence that enables you to adapt and scale to your business’s changing needs.
BCX Managed Services delivers Monitoring- and Observability-as a-Service (MaaS & OaaS) through the BCX Monitoring Centre of Excellence (MCoE), providing proactive monitoring, actionable insights and operational expertise to enhance business resilience, service availability and system performance.
We combine leading technology, specialist expertise, proven operational processes and 24x7x365 monitoring to provide you with always-on, comprehensive insights into your technology environment.
Our technology-agnostic approach and broad skills base support all platforms, services and applications across public, private or hybrid cloud environments.
From monitoring to operational intelligence

From monitoring to operational intelligence: See more, know more, act sooner

Traditional monitoring tells you something is wrong. Observability helps you understand what happened, why it happened, what is affected and what to do next.

Monitoring simply generates data and alerts. Observability turns that data into insight.

The BCX MCoE brings together technology, specialist expertise, analytics and operational excellence to provide a holistic view of your digital estate. It gives you the insights you need to ensure your critical services perform when it matters most.

With a connected view of your infrastructure, networks, applications, databases, cloud platforms and digital services, you are empowered to do the following:

  • Detect issues before they become business-impacting incidents
  • Understand dependencies and potential service impact
  • Accelerate investigation and root-cause analysis
  • Reduce alert noise and operational complexity
  • Identify performance degradation and emerging risks
  • Improve service availability and resilience
  • Identify capacity requirements and future trends
  • Strengthen SLA and KPI visibility
  • Continuously optimise operational performance
  • Make better operational and business decisions
Get visibility into all your business systems and address issues as they arise. Use our operational intelligence to optimise performance, identify availability and capacity trends, and manage systems governance and enterprise systems management (ESM) administration.

BCX MaaS & OaaS gives your organisation greater visibility, control and resilience across the IT environment, ultimately transforming monitoring data into business confidence.

Start with foundational infrastructure and network monitoring. Expand into application, database, digital experience and service observability. Progress towards greater automation, correlation and business service visibility.
