Our mission is to provide unparalleled support for our clients' deepest challenges, going beyond the status quo to forge new paths and create innovative solutions.
We assemble teams made up of strategists, architects and cybersecurity consultants with industry-specific knowledge, from across the BCG ecosystem to support clients on digital, tech and data projects.
Teaming Up For Disaster Mitigation
Everybody is feeling the impact of climate change on the environment – for instance, in the form of dramatic natural disasters in areas that were previously rarely affected. As such, a catastrophic natural disaster in the heart of a Europe has severe consequences, including loss of lives and livelihood. BCG and BCG Platinion were immediately on hand to enhance resilience in a European region hit by the worst catastrophe in its recent history. The team worked with passion and deliberation to develop a sustainable and resilient concept to better deal with similar situations in the future.
The Core & Beyond - A Tailor-Made Transformation
Replacing or keeping the legacy Core Banking System (CBS) is one of the most fundamental decisions for a financial institution to make. This strategic bet should be carefully evaluated, with three key aspects in mind: a clear view on the entire IT platform (wider than legacy CBS and its constraints), a strategic vision set within a specific time horizon, and the return on investment. For organizations with a burning platform, CBS replacement may be a necessity, but in many cases the real investment potential is located elsewhere – in areas such as data platforms, integration layers, portals, or process engines. This alternative approach leads to numerous non-trivial questions: Where does the value come from? Is legacy the real issue? Which areas to reinforce and in which order?
Setting up a Secure and Resilient IT Infrastructure in the Cloud
Everybody who considered Europe’s energy infrastructure as safe against attacks got an eye-opener when the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline erupted on the Baltic seabed: It clearly is not as safe as previously thought. With the winter looming ahead, energy service providers have to assure the security and resilience of critical infrastructure. This is not only limited to physical buildings, but must also focus on IT, especially in the light of a rising number of cyberattacks. Especially for older IT infrastructure that is difficult to modernize, migration to the cloud has proven to be a solution, severely improving security and resilience, not only in the long-term, but also in the short-term.
Climate & Sustainability
We harness technology to tackle today's most significant challenges, with a focus on climate change as a defining issue of our time. We assist clients in adopting innovative tech and data solutions to reduce emissions and fast-track their path to net zero. At BCG Platinion, fundamentally reshaping tech approaches for sustainability is at the core of our mission.
Social Impact
We drive positive social impact through technology, collaborating with local and global organizations to solve IT and digital challenges. Our team is central to initiatives, from streamlining HR systems for humanitarian groups to supporting fellowships with the World Economic Forum. Leveraging digital expertise is a core value at BCG Platinion, acting as a catalyst for meaningful change.
