“BCO allows us to pull all the information from…

about 10 different health tools…, and it puts all

that in a database and then we can analyze that

with a view to looking at long-term trends.”

“… rather than talking in terms of megabytes or

gigabytes we talk in terms of number of

customers, or number of TV channels with active

users – that's a much more mature conversation

you can have with a business ,and that's our

ultimate goal really.”

BCO will help to impress on business managers the

importance of far-reaching capacity planning
