Longer story short - Platinion does tech implementation work. Nobody at bcg knows what to do with them. They are big in europe but not in US. appears hiring is a bit easier w them. Benefits are the same...pay is tbd

I worked on an internal project that involved Platinion. S1 is right about the tech implementation work. They basically bring the IT expertise that BCG doesn't have so we can sell work around IT architecture. One example is modernizing systems and going from main frame to the cloud. BCG can guide clients through the process but Platinion does the nitty gritty

I'm with Platinion, AMA

How often do you guys do traditional Tech Advantage / IT strategy work with the traditional bcg guys?

We work directly as part of BCG teams in every engagement. Sometimes there's only one PLA, sometimes there's several of us, but we're generally all in the same conference room together onsite.

I have personally only done TA/tech strategy work with our BCG TA counterparts. That part of our business is growing quickly.
