MSP recognised for transformative work on critical infrastructure across data centres, construction and commercial real estate
OryxAlign, a leading managed IT services provider, has won the Best Technology Partner category at the Building Innovation Awards 2024, which took place on October 17 at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester. The award highlights OryxAlign’s excellence in delivering cutting-edge technology solutions, with the company’s broader impact spanning data centres, construction and commercial real estate.
One standout project contributing to the win involved OryxAlign’s work with one of the UK’s largest commercial property developers. OryxAlign played a strategic role in upgrading the client’s operational technology (OT) systems across a vast portfolio of high-value properties, addressing vulnerabilities, strengthening security across systems such as BMS, CCTV, access controls and power management, all while maintaining operational resilience and compliance.
“The risks to the built environment from cyber-attacks are no longer theoretical,” said Carl Henriksen, CEO at OryxAlign. “Today, cyber threats can cripple operational systems—disrupting tenant access, building management and more—leaving companies vulnerable to financial and reputational damage. This recognition shows how we partner with our clients bring their IT and OT security together, making sure their technology is secure and their operations keep running smoothly, no matter what.
“Each sector presents unique challenges. In data centres, maintaining 24×7 security, infrastructure resilience and performance is vital for mission-critical operations. Construction sites demand rapid connectivity and cyber-resilience as they integrate more technology into the build process. Commercial real estate, meanwhile, must adapt to the rise of hybrid working, requiring secure access and smart building technologies to drive tenant experience. Our role is to provide the backbone of support, ensuring our clients can meet these challenges head-on and thrive.”
The Building Innovation Awards celebrate companies that push the boundaries of digital transformation, sustainability and operational resilience within the construction sector. Held at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester, the event is a key fixture in the industry’s calendar, attended by leading figures from across the construction and real estate sectors.
