Who we build with

Microsoft at the core, the best of the rest around it

Real environments are rarely single-vendor. BUI pairs the deepest Microsoft accreditation with a curated set of technology partners, our own intellectual property, and the backing of First Technology Group, so we can solve the whole problem, not just the part that fits one badge.

The relationship everything else extends

Our Microsoft accreditation is the foundation the wider ecosystem plugs into, Azure Expert MSP, all six Solutions Partner designations, advanced specialisations and the security credentials underneath.

Chosen for depth, not breadth

Each alliance is one we hold a top-tier accreditation in and deploy in production, not a logo on a slide. Together they let us secure, connect and modernise across the whole estate.
