2021 Year in Review
2021 was a year of growth and vision for CBC. Looking ahead, we aim to continue to leverage the power of emerging technologies and drive organizational change and success across the industries we work with.
In addition to our pre-existing areas of consulting which have proven to evolve in the changing workplace of the post-pandemic era, the company has also expanded its reach by launching two new strategic business units, Concannon XR and MercuryHub by Concannon.
We want to take a moment to thank our partners Talespin, ConveYour, RealWear, and Oculus. The success of our new ventures are made possible by these partnerships which expand outreach and enable us to realize our vision across the industries we serve. We look forward to expanding our ability to provide solutions and services, as well as insights, training, and education related to the changes to the landscape of today’s workplace.
CBC Expands Our Reach with 2 New Business Units
Concannon XR
In 2021, we started a new, dedicated practice area, focusing on delivering Extended Reality (XR) solutions to Fortune 2000 companies through partnerships with best-in-class hardware and software companies in the VR and AR space.
We have done extensive research of the XR industry and established partnerships with carefully selected companies with the intent to deliver VR and AR solutions to enterprise clients in the automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications, logistics and oil and gas industries.
With ConcannonXR, among the many goals we will continue to strive for as we head into 2022 are to:
- Bring “white glove” service to solutions design, deployment, and customer support by developing highly customized solutions that match our client’s business objectives and help end-users achieve positive results.
- Increase value to our clients by deploying technologies and solutions that will result in large-scale cost savings, improved efficiencies, and better customer service.
- Include remote support and assisted reality solutions to technicians and frontline workers as well as VR training solutions to prepare people for their work in dangerous, highly technical, or high-cost environments.
- Continue to expand our expertise, including the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive technology, and employee training to facilitate digital transformation in a new sector by utilizing smart sensors, AI and XR technology to improve processes and save costs.
MercuryHub
MercuryHub optimizes the changing landscape and processes of the workplace. It leverages 16 years of enterprise business consulting experience to develop a focused approach for matching professional expertise with clients’ short and mid-term staffing needs.

MercuryHub continues our commitment to
- Maximize the impact and outcomes of our professionals by leveraging our proven 6-step staffing process lifecycle

- Guarantee our resources are the perfect fit for the role, based on the client need and project goals, from remote part-time to longer-term on-site or we promise to make it right
