BCX Exa will provide go-to-market solutions, as well as digital journeys that map out processes and solutions for integration and conectedness within a business,

simplifying operations and deliver innovative and market-leading products and services, while streamlining cross-functional processes and enhancing the customer experience.

“Our approach is fresh and modern, delivered with an entrepreneurial spirit, leading with technologies like robotic process automation, intelligent integration and cloud native software engineering,” says BCX Exa managing executive Renesh Buldeo.

Using BCX Exa’s collaborative approach, the team will help businesses achieve their digital transformation goals that lead to benefits like improved operational efficiency and business performance, as well as enhanced customer experience.

Covid Connections

Since inception, the division has already co-created ground-breaking solutions such as the COVIDConnect solution for the Department of Health (DoH).

Last month, BCX and the DoH partnered to launch the contact tracing technology that aims to fast-track the containment of Covid-19.

COVIDConnect uses several data sources from laboratories, healthcare facilities and screening services offered through WhatsApp to locate primary infected individuals, as well as close contacts.

The solution provides the DoH with a visual of the most affected areas in the country.
