Two trusted Microsoft partners. One stronger customer experience.
Bond Consulting Services (BCS) is expanding through the addition of Mount Evans Consulting (MEC), bringing together two Microsoft partners known for deep Business Central expertise, long-term customer relationships, and a consulting-first approach.
This was not a decision driven by size. It was a deliberate investment in shared values, complementary strengths, and a better experience for customers.
Together, BCS and MEC can offer broader expertise, greater capacity, and deeper capabilities across the Microsoft platform, without sacrificing the personal service and trusted relationships customers already value.
Why BCS and MEC
Both companies have built their reputations by putting customers first. We believe great consulting starts with understanding the business, giving honest advice, and staying invested well beyond go-live. Customers are not account numbers. Every relationship matters, and every engagement deserves experienced people who care about the outcome. That shared mindset made this combination a natural fit.
MEC brings highly respected Business Central expertise, Microsoft MVP leadership, and a rare combination of community credibility and hands-on delivery experience.
Kristen Hosman has not only helped shape conversations throughout the Business Central community; she also brings more than 20 years of experience across accounting, ERP systems, and Microsoft Dynamics. She has also sold, implemented, and supported solutions from beginning to end. That experience gives her a clear understanding of what works, where projects can go wrong, and what customers need from a partner throughout the life of their system.
BCS brings an established team of experienced consultants, broader capabilities across Microsoft business applications, and the infrastructure needed to support customers as their needs become more complex.
Together, we are creating a stronger team and not a different kind of company.
“MEC and BCS share the same fundamental belief: customers deserve experienced consultants who know their business, care about their success, and remain accountable for the results,” said Jackie Gant, CEO of BCS. “Kristen’s reputation, expertise, and ability to lead customers through the full implementation journey make her an exceptional addition to our team.”
What Customers Gain
Customers of both organizations will have access to a broader team of Microsoft Business Central experts while continuing to receive the personalized service they have come to expect.
Together, we will be able to:
- Deliver larger and more complex implementations with greater confidence
- Provide deeper expertise across finance, manufacturing, distribution, professional services, nonprofit, and industry-specific solutions
- Help customers take advantage of Copilot, AI, agents, and automation across the Microsoft platform
- Expand development, integration, reporting, and automation capabilities
- Scale consulting and support resources as customers grow
- Offer expertise beyond Business Central across CRM and customer experience, Power Platform, data, and analytics
- Provide more webinars, training, documentation, and best-practice guidance
- Deliver greater continuity and responsiveness through a larger bench of experienced consultants
- Provide more streamlined support for Microsoft licensing and the broader Microsoft technology investment
For MEC customers, this means access to additional resources and a wider range of Microsoft expertise when needed.
For BCS customers, it means even greater Business Central depth, Microsoft MVP insight, and continued investment in the skills of an already strong consulting team.
A team of great consultants makes everyone better. Bringing these teams together creates more opportunities to share knowledge, challenge one another, and improve the work we deliver to customers.
What Will Not Change
Customers should gain more from this combination without giving up what they already value.
The people, relationships, and history behind each customer engagement matter. We are being intentional about preserving what already works. We have the flexibility to support individual customer needs without forcing every relationship into the model.
We will respect the way each relationship has been built and preserve the approaches that are already working.
Customers can continue to expect:
- Consultants who know their business
- Direct and responsive communication
- Advice grounded in real implementation experience
- A team that takes ownership of problems
- Proactive ideas, education, and guidance
- A partner invested in their long-term success
Our goal is simple: consistent or better delivery with as little disruption to the customer experience as possible.
“Customers will have access to more resources and a broader range of expertise, but they will not lose the relationships or personalized service they trust,” said Kristen Hosman, President of MEC. “This gives us the support and capacity to do more for our customers while staying focused on what we love most: helping organizations succeed with Business Central.”
More Support for What Comes Next
Microsoft is rapidly expanding what organizations can accomplish through Business Central, Copilot, AI, automation, analytics, and connected business applications.
Customers need more than someone who can show them what is new. They need consultants who understand how these capabilities work in real organizations, how they connect to existing systems and processes, and how to apply them without creating unnecessary complexity.
By combining MEC’s Business Central leadership with BCS’s capabilities across the broader Microsoft platform, we can help customers make better decisions about what to adopt, what to improve, and where new technology can create meaningful business value. BCS also provides the operational support needed to help MEC scale while allowing Kristen and her team to spend more time doing what they do best: working with customers and delivering successful Business Central solutions.
That support includes finance, licensing, sales, administration, development resources, and a larger consulting team ready to take on work, share knowledge, and grow together.
A Continued Commitment to the Microsoft Community
Both BCS and MEC believe that strong partners have a responsibility to give back. We will continue investing in the Microsoft community through speaking, mentoring, webinars, blogging, training, and open conversations about what we are learning. Our goal is not only to build a stronger organization. It is to help strengthen the Business Central ecosystem around us.
We want customers, partners, and Microsoft to see this combination for what it is: two organizations with aligned values choosing to build something better together.
Not Bigger. Better.
A year from now, we do not want customers to be focused on the acquisition. We want them to recognize that their experience has improved.
- That we still know their business.
- That we solve problems faster.
- That we bring ideas proactively.
- That we help them get more value from Business Central every year.
Our expertise will grow. Our resources will grow. The possibilities we can offer customers will grow. What will not change is the culture behind the work: approachable experts who genuinely care about their customers’ success.
Two trusted Microsoft partners. One stronger customer experience.
Let’s Keep the Conversation Going
