BCS Consultancy (BCS), the global data centre consultancy, has announced the opening of its new South African office, marking a major milestone in the company’s international growth strategy and strengthening its long-term presence across Africa.
The new opening reflects growing momentum across the African data centre market, driven by cloud adoption, enterprise Digital Transformation, AI workloads, increasing data sovereignty requirements and major investments in connectivity infrastructure across the continent. The new office will provide BCS with a local delivery base to support regional and international clients, while supplying numerous job opportunities to local communities.
The new expansion will be led by Oskar Lampe, Regional Director at BCS Consultancy, who is originally from South Africa. Lampe is spearheading the establishment of the new regional office and helping to build upon the company’s long-term strategy.
South Africa is the more mature and one of the most strategically important data centre markets in Africa, with established hyperscale and colocation activity, growing cloud regions and a strong professional services ecosystem capable of supporting large-scale digital infrastructure projects. Market forecasts estimate the South African data centre sector will grow from approximately US$2.55 billion in 2025 to US$5.28 billion by 2031.
This strategic new location for BCS will also play an important role in helping address the growing skills shortage facing the global data centre industry. By creating a local delivery hub, BCS Consultancy plans to invest in regional talent development, providing opportunities for South African professionals to build specialist expertise across project management, cost management and digital infrastructure delivery. BCS aims to help develop the next generation of mission-critical infrastructure specialists while creating long-term, high-value career opportunities within the region.
