Tech overview

Technology sits at the heart of BCG’s strategy and delivery. The firm operates through several specialised units, including BCG Platinion, which focuses on technology architecture and IT transformations, BCG GAMMA, which leads on advanced analytics and data science, and BCG X, which drives digital product design and business building. Together, these groups allow BCG to support clients across the full spectrum of digital strategy, from advisory and operating model transformation through to hands-on engineering and implementation. BCG has placed a particular emphasis on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven platforms. These capabilities are applied not only in client work but also internally, with the majority of BCG employees now actively using AI tools in their daily work. The firm encourages experimentation, internal tool development, and the use of generative AI to accelerate workflows. For technology professionals, BCG offers the chance to combine strategic influence with technical execution, bridging the gap between boardroom decisions and real-world digital solutions.
