Uganda’s tech scene is on fire, and Blue Crane Communications (BCC) just turned up the heat.
The fast-growing internet service provider and IT solutions company has achieved not one, not two, but three International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certifications.
This milestone isn’t just a badge of honor—it’s a game-changer for BCC, its clients, and Uganda’s burgeoning tech industry.
Let’s break it down:
- ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems
- ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management Systems
- ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems
These certifications aren’t just fancy acronyms. They’re proof of BCC’s unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and safety—values that are reshaping the future of Uganda’s tech landscape.
What Do These Certifications Really Mean?
For BCC, this triple ISO certification is more than a compliance checkbox. It’s a strategic move to elevate its operations, build trust, and position itself as a global contender in the internet and IT services industry.
1. ISO 9001:2015 – Quality You Can Trust
This certification ensures BCC’s products and services consistently meet customer expectations and regulatory standards. Translation? Faster project turnaround times, improved service reliability, and deliverables that hit the mark every time.
2. ISO 14001:2015 – Sustainability at the Core
In a world increasingly focused on environmental responsibility, BCC is stepping up. This certification highlights the company’s dedication to reducing its environmental footprint—whether it’s through waste reduction, energy efficiency, or sustainable practices.
3. ISO 45001:2018 – Safety First, Always
A safe workplace isn’t just good ethics—it’s good business. This certification guarantees that BCC prioritizes the health and safety of its employees and customers, ensuring projects are executed in a secure and risk-free environment.

The Road to Certification: Rigor, Teamwork, and Vision
Achieving these certifications wasn’t a walk in the park. Susan Byaleero, BCC’s ISO lead implementor, shared that the process took six intense months of evaluation, process improvements, and system upgrades.
“We didn’t just aim for compliance—we aimed for excellence,” Byaleero explained. “From waste reduction to employee safety, every aspect of our operations was scrutinized. It was a team effort, involving cross-functional collaboration, external consultants, and significant investments in training and technology.”
The result? Streamlined processes, enhanced safety protocols, and a company that’s ready to compete on the global stage.
Why This Matters for Clients and Partners
Ali Kisekka from BCC’s Marketing & Communications team put it simply: “These certifications are a win for our clients. They can expect higher-quality services, faster delivery, and the confidence that we’re committed to sustainability and safety.”
But the benefits don’t stop there. With these certifications, BCC is now better positioned to attract international clients and participate in global tenders—especially in sectors like telecommunications, manufacturing, and government projects, where ISO compliance is non-negotiable.
A Boost for Uganda’s Tech Industry
BCC’s achievement isn’t just a win for the company—it’s a win for Uganda. As the country’s tech sector continues to grow, BCC is setting a high standard for quality, sustainability, and safety.
This milestone reinforces Uganda’s position as a hub for innovation and excellence in Africa.
BCC’s Vision for the Future
Awarded in November 2024 by LMS Assessments Limited, these certifications are just the beginning.
BCC is poised to lead the charge in Uganda’s tech revolution, driving growth, fostering partnerships, and delivering world-class services.
As Susan Byaleero aptly put it, “This is about more than certifications. It’s about building trust, improving lives, and shaping the future of technology in Uganda and beyond.”
