BCS Consultancy Strengthens Global Footprint with New South African Office

South Africa is a well-established and strategically important data centre market in Africa, with thriving hyperscale and colocation operations, expanding cloud regions, and a robust professional services ecosystem that can handle large-scale digital infrastructure projects.

Market forecasts estimate the South African data centre sector will grow from approximately USD $2.55bn in 2025 to USD $5.28bn by 2031.

BCS Consultancy (BCS), a 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, whilst 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. Now leading BCS’ African expansion, he’s spearheading the establishment of the new regional office and helping to build upon the company’s long-term strategy.

”South Africa is a natural next step for BCS as we continue expanding our international footprint,” said Oskar Lampe, Regional Director, BCS Consultancy. “The region is entering a major acceleration phase for digital infrastructure and presents a significant long-term opportunity for both operators and investors. By establishing a local presence, we can combine our global experience with on-the-ground delivery capability to better support clients navigating increasingly complex projects across South Africa and the wider African market.”

BCS aims to help develop the next generation of mission-critical infrastructure specialists while creating long-term, high-value career opportunities within the region.

Chris Coward, BCS Consultancy’s COO, also commented, “Africa represents one of the most important emerging growth regions for digital infrastructure. Establishing a presence in South Africa allows us to support our clients more effectively as they expand into new markets, while bringing international delivery experience and local expertise together to support increasingly complex infrastructure projects”
