In 2016, BCC acquired Jingwei Mingpian, a Chinese business card scanning app - growing their database - it has since also developed a related product, Shanglin Tong, as part of its enterprise mobile-office offering.

When it started, the company's Chinese operations were named Business Connect China, with non-China operations called Advantus Global. Advantus was later rebranded as AGI (Astute Global Infoservice), and eventually the entire company was rebranded as Business Connect China / BCC Global.

BCC offers four services:
