      Our History

       

       

       

       

      2000

      Launch of BCG Platinion

      Launches in Cologne, Germany adding IT architecture expertise to BCG’s existing capabilities. Continues on a strong growth trajectory, opening offices across Central Europe, with a focus on creating customized technical solutions to accelerate value for the world’s leading organizations.

      2006

      Introduction of Practice Areas

      To fulfill clients’ specific needs, BCG Platinion introduces industry specializations across Financial Institutions, Consumer Products, Industrial Goods & Automotive, Energy, Insurance, Technology, Media, and Telecommunications.  These serve as the basis for today’s global practice areas – which have grown to include Health Care, Principal Investors & Private Equity, and Public Sector affiliations.

      Since 2014

      Global Expansion

      Building on sustained success in the German market, BCG Platinion expands to North America in 2014, Western Europe in 2016, Asia-Pacific and Australia in 2017, and South America in 2018.  This serves as a springboard to grow to 40+ cities in the coming years.

      2017-2019

      Extension of Design Capabilities

      As demand for customer-centric design increases, BCG Platinion acquires MAYA Design in 2017, a Pittsburgh-based digital design and innovation lab, and AllofUs, a London-based design and engineering consultancy, in 2019.  With this expanded footprint, BCG Platinion introduces studio innovation hubs in Berlin, London, Pittsburgh, New York, Dallas and Seattle. In 2022, all design and engineering capabilities from BCG Platinion as well as BCG moved together as BCG.X.

      20 Years of BCG Platinion

      BCG Platinion celebrates its 20th anniversary of solving for the most complex business problems at the intersection of human experience and technology.

      Our Passion for Technology Makes a Difference in the World

      Social Impact

      We aim to drive social impact based on what we know best – technology. We collaborate with local, regional, and global organizations in our communities to solve complex IT challenges. Through meaningful partnerships, we help these champions create significant, positive change in the world.

       

      Our team is at the heart of our social impact initiatives, from streamlining the human resource system of a humanitarian medical organization to supporting fellowships with the World Economic Forum. It is part of our core to leverage our digital expertise as an accelerator for productive change.

      Climate & Sustainability

      By utilizing technology, it is possible to address even the biggest challenges facing us today. Climate change is the defining challenge of our time — so we help our clients leverage new approaches to technology and data in a way that reduces their emissions and accelerates the path towards net zero.

       

      Using our knowledge to help organizations fundamentally rethink their approach to technology — in order to speed up their journey towards sustainability — is one of the most important things we do at BCG Platinion.
