Cube squared - Bluecube acquires Hypercubic

Reported: 14th October 2011

Bluecube Technology Solutions is delighted to announce it has acquired Hypercubic, the London-based IT support provider specialising in providing extensive on-site It support resource within half an hour from its offices in London, W1.

The deal means Bluecube now has a fully operational office and a strong footprint in the London market, whilst Hypercubic’s clients will benefit from a far more extensive technical delivery capability.

“This is a fantastic deal for Bluecube,” says James Hawker, Bluecube’s CEO. “The acquisition of Hypercubic as a going concern means our capabilities in London will be far greater. At the same time Hypercubic’s clients will be able to benefit from additional services – like cloud-based and hosted services – and the option of 24x7 support, all of which will enhance their IT infrastructure and operations, without breaking their budgets.”

For a transitional period, the Hypercubic name will remain. Thereafter, all operations will be absorbed under the Bluecube banner. But Hypercubic’s clients need not be concerned.

“We’re excited by what the future holds and the added value we can provide to our clients now that we have the Bluecube name behind us.” Andrew Cruise, Managing Director of Hypercubic

“The decision to enter into the deal with Bluecube was not taken lightly,” says Andrew Cruise of Hypercubic. “Since starting out in 2002 we have built up a successful, profitable business, with a loyal client-base, and we would not let anything undermine what we have achieved.

Bluecube is an ideal fit with Hypercubic as it shares our ethos, values and mission, which means we are confident in providing an assurance to our existing clients that there will be no break in continuity of service.”

Both Bluecube and Hypercubic have recognised pedigree as providers of high quality, affordable IT services in their individual markets. The fusion of the two businesses will cement their position at the leading edge of IT service provision.

“These are really exciting times for Bluecube and we continue to go from strength to strength,” says James. “We are very excited by the opportunities our acquisition of Hypercubic will afford our business and we are looking forward to continued growth and on-going success.”

Bluecube’s Success Results in Moving News

Reported: 27th June 2011

Over the past twelve months, Bluecube Technology Solutions has taken on a significant number of new clients, which has necessitated the employment of new staff, and substantial investments in IT infrastructure. As a result, Bluecube has outgrown its current office space and will is expanding into much larger facilities.

At 15,000 sq ft, the new premises will be big enough to accommodate the 100 employees Bluecube plans to grow to over the next few years and will comfortably house larger and more sophisticated Disaster Recovery suites.

“Despite the widespread doom and gloom about the economy, we’ve gone from strength to strength and we’re planning continued growth over the next few years.”

James Hawker, CEO of Bluecube Technology Solutions.

“The benefits of our investment in people and technology will be huge, both to Bluecube and our clients,” says James Hawker, Bluecube’s CEO. “The increase staffing levels will mean greater depth in the expertise we can offer. And we’ll be investing in new, cutting edge technologies, to enable us to continue to deliver the highest levels of service in a fast-moving industry, particularly enhancing our specialist Disaster Recovery services.”

“It’s a remarkable time for Bluecube and we are delighted to be expanding our premises. We’ve seen our business grow phenomenally over the past year or so and I think that’s testimony to the commitment of our staff and the quality of service we offer. We’re really looking forward to what the future holds.”

Bluecube won’t be moving very far. In fact, the new offices will require expanding its current base into next door. But the move heralds the dawn of a new era for Bluecube and its dedicated team.

Bluecube’s Insightful Move

Reported: 19th April 2011

Beyond Analysis, the international consumer insight specialist, has offices in London, UK; Warsaw, Poland; Noida, India and Sydney, Australia. For the past three months its UK centre has benefitted from the services provided by Bluecube Technology Solutions. It’s not just support. Beyond Analysis also utilises the highly secure data centre solutions offered by Bluecube.

As Beyond Analysis continued to demonstrate impressive growth, its management team recognised the benefit of consolidating IT service provision and utilising a single provider for both its UK and Sydney operations. The enormous volume and business sensitive nature of the data that Beyond Analysis handles meant that a totally reliable and above all secure service, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, was imperative.

“Bluecube had clearly demonstrated it was committed to Beyond Analysis as a client and shown it could provide the highest levels of service in the UK. But we needed the team there to prove to us that they could cost-effectively deliver services globally, with no loss of efficiency and no compromise on security. They didn’t disappoint.”

Carl Ward, Chief Operating Officer, Beyond Analysis

“We already support clients throughout the world including those based in China, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Germany, Netherlands, the USA, India and Malaysia,” says James Hawker, Bluecube’s Chief Executive. “I believe our track record in delivering IT support and data solutions globally is second to none when comparing us to similar sized companies.

And we take data security extremely seriously. Our data centre facilities are designed to host mission critical systems. They operate to Tier 4 Data Centre Standards, which means the highest levels of security and 99.995% availability guaranteed!”

Another requirement was flexibility. Beyond Analysis is a growing business with a rapidly increasing client base. What suits today in terms of IT infrastructure may not fulfil business needs in the future.

“We needed an IT service provider with a proven track record in secure data centre services; one that could deliver not only security for us and our clients, but demonstrate the flexibility to adapt to our needs as a high growth business. On the basis of proposals submitted and our satisfaction with its services to date, Bluecube was the only realistic choice for us.” adds Carl Ward, Chief Operating Officer, Beyond Analysis

“We are delighted to have been chosen by Beyond Analysis as its global IT solutions provider,” says James Hawker. “It’s a sound endorsement of the services we provide and demonstrates the trust they have in our capabilities. It also means we will be extending our global reach with the commissioning of two new data facilities; one in Sydney and one in Melbourne.”
