“It's not the SLA—it's the XLA. We measure success by how well we deliver the customer's experience.” — Tom Boggs, BCN Telecom In an era where enterprise customers expect seamless delivery, rock-solid security, and AI-enhanced services, BCN Telecom is rising to the occasion with a bold, customer-centric approach.

With a managed services ecosystem spanning connectivity, SD-WAN, SASE, and cloud applications, BCN integrates diverse technologies into a single, curated solution tailored to each customer's industry and goals.

But it's the convergence of security and connectivity, aligned with smart project planning, that sets BCN apart in large-scale, multi-site rollouts. AI and automation also play a key role. Boggs shares how BCN equips its project managers with AI-powered note-taking tools to capture call insights in real-time—speeding up delivery and enhancing the customer experience. Some clients have even adopted these tools themselves. Boggs emphasizes that BCN's strength lies in its team—empowered to act quickly and resolve issues without the bottlenecks of large bureaucracies. This agility enables BCN to adapt instantly to partner and customer feedback, creating tailored solutions for even the most complex verticals, from healthcare to retail.

Park Place Technologies, a global leader in data centre and networking optimisation, has partnered with Softcat, a leading UK technology solutions provider, to provide access to its internal training portal, Uptime Academy. The initiative aims to enhance Softcat's support services team's knowledge and capabilities, ultimately leading to improve service delivery for customers. Park Place collaborates with thousands of partners across the globe and selected Softcat for this pilot program to demonstrate its commitment to partner enablement, and to Softcat's people. The primary purpose of making Uptime Academy available to Softcat was to educate, upskill and provide sales enablement to the support services team at Softcat, focusing on key areas such as Third-Party Maintenance (TPM), Infrastructure Managed Services, and Entuity Software. Uptime Academy is Park Place's internal Learning Management System, ensuring consistent messaging about Park Place's offerings, culture, and compliance across the entire organisation. The training content contains material created in-house by Park Place subject matter experts, as well as a variety of content from third-party specialty providers. Uptime Academy also allows tracking of learners' progress through courses, curricula, and certifications. Ian Anderson, Senior Director, Partner Sales in EMEA, said, "Our internal Uptime Academy training portal offers hundreds of courses, ranging from IT basics to deep-dives into specific Park Place services. Sharing that knowledge base with a partner empowers and hopefully motivates its people to develop their talents, contribute to their personal growth, and fuel the success of Softcat and Park Place." Softcat was eager to leverage Uptime Academy as it recognised the platform as a tool that could help to upskill its support service teams, who in turn could immerse themselves in Park Place messaging and go-to-market methodology. This elevates Softcat as a channel partner selling our services into literally being an extension of the Park Place Technologies team out in the field. Kevin Rickard, Sr. Team Leader for Support Service Sales at Softcat, said, "Having access to the Park Place Uptime Academy has significantly empowered our specialists in several ways. It has enhanced our expertise, increased confidence when talking around managed services, and given us a competitive advantage. It has given us a detailed insight into how Park Place works and how their services, management, and fulfilment of contracts flow." The initial Softcat trial saw participation from two dozen individuals, who praised the engaging delivery style and practical knowledge gained from the courses. The format of Uptime Academy was called out for particular praise, with participants enjoying the digestible, bite-sized courses. Several shared their training certificates online. Park Place's Anderson added, "Following this successful trial, we are looking to expand access across other teams at Softcat and also look to roll similar initiatives to other partners globally. This initiative demonstrates Park Place Technologies' pioneering approach to partner enablement. We are committed to transparency and empowering our partners with the knowledge they need to ultimately be more successful in selling more to customers - meaning everyone wins."

In this forward-looking episode of Technology Reseller News, Doug Green interviews Srikrishnan (Sri) Ganesan, CEO and co-founder of Rocketlane, following the company's Propel 2025 conference. Ganesan outlines a new model for the future of project-based services delivery—what Rocketlane calls the Intelligent Delivery Organization. Rocketlane is a professional services automation (PSA) platform designed to help service delivery teams unify project execution, customer engagement, staffing, and margin control—all on one AI-powered platform. Ganesan emphasizes that the era of traditional professional services is evolving rapidly into a hybrid model of human + AI collaboration, where efficiency, proactive delivery, and superior customer experience are no longer trade-offs—they're intertwined goals. One major theme of Propel 2025 was rethinking legacy systems and adopting an “AI-first” mindset. Ganesan shares how Rocketlane clients, including leaders from Zoom and Palantir, are already leveraging AI agents to automate documentation, configuration, and even elements of decision-making—allowing human experts to focus on solution design and customer relationships. “We're not replacing humans—we're enhancing them,” Ganesan explains. “Think of AI as an intelligent intern that never sleeps and gets better every day.” From enabling real-time project health tracking to capturing customer sentiment throughout the project lifecycle, Rocketlane is helping organizations move from reactive firefighting to proactive delivery, making delays and inefficiencies a thing of the past. Ganesan also cautions that companies stuck in disjointed systems may struggle to compete. “If one company delivers a project in two months, and the other takes eight—customers will pick the faster team every time. It's less risky, more valuable, and it's where the industry is heading.” To learn more, visit https://www.rocketlane.com.

Delivering great results isn't optional. It's everything. If you can't deliver, your agency can't scale. Period. Why Service Delivery Is Your Scaling Engine Without a systematized delivery model, your agency stalls. You may land clients, but you won't retain or scale. At Plumbing & HVAC SEO, we scaled to $7M annually. The reason? [...] The post My $7M/yr Agency Service Delivery Process (Full Guide) appeared first on Seven Figure Agency.

Danielle Allen and Mark Fagan say that when tested, thoughtfully deployed, and regulated AI actually can help governments serve citizens better. Sure, there is no shortage of horror stories these days about the intersection of AI and government—from a municipal chatbot that told restaurant owners it was OK to serve food that had been gnawed by rodents to artificial intelligence police tools that misidentify suspects through faulty facial recognition. And now the Trump administration and Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE say they are fast-tracking the use of AI to root out government waste and fraud, while making public virtually no details about what tools they are using or how they'll be deployed. But Allen and Fagan, say that while careless deployment creates risks like opening security holes, exacerbating inefficiencies, and automating flawed decision-making, AI done the right way can help administrators and policymakers make better and smarter decisions, and can make governments more accessible and responsive to the citizens they serve. They also say we need to reorient our thinking from AI being a replacement for human judgement to a partnership model, where each brings its strengths to the table. Danielle Allen is an HKS professor and the founder of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. Mark Fagan is a lecturer in public policy and faculty chair of the Delivering Public Services section of the Executive Education Program at HKS. They join PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli to explain the guidelines, guardrails, and principles that can help government get AI right. Policy Recommendations:Danielle Allen's Policy Recommendations:* Support the "people's bid" for TikTok and generally promote an alternative, pro-social model for social media platforms.* Establish AI offices in state governments: Create offices that use AI to enhance openness, accountability, and transparency in government.Mark Fagan's Policy Recommendations:* Implement "sandbox" spaces for regulatory experimentation that allow organizations to test different policy ideas in a controlled environment to see what works.* Adopt a risk-based regulatory approach similar to the EU that categorize AI regulations based on risk levels, with clear guidelines on high-risk activities where AI use is prohibited versus those where experimentation is allowed. Danielle Allen is the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University. She is a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy and director of the Democratic Knowledge Project and of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation. She is also a seasoned nonprofit leader, democracy advocate, national voice on AI and tech ethics, and author. A past chair of the Mellon Foundation and Pulitzer Prize Board, and former dean of humanities at the University of Chicago, she is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and American Philosophical Society. Her many books include the widely acclaimed Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship Since Brown v Board of Education;  Our Declaration: a reading of the Declaration of Independence in defense of equality; Cuz: The Life and Times of Michael A.; Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus; and Justice by Means of Democracy. She writes a column on constitutional democracy for the Washington Post. Outside the University, she is a co-chair for the Our Common Purpose Commission and Founder and President for Partners in Democracy, where she advocates for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy, and to drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all. She holds Ph.Ds from Harvard University in government and from King's College, University of Cambridge, in classics; master's degrees from Harvard University in government and King's College, University of Cambridge in classics; and an AB from Princeton in classics.Mark Fagan is a lecturer in public policy and former senior fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School.
