This SaaS-based, scalable offering combines BCG's Digital IP, business process acumen, and best practices with Microsoft's powerful cloud computing capabilities in a next-generation platform that helps customers use AI and advanced analytics to manage their data, strategy, and business processes.

With Catalyst Cloud on Azure, BCG project teams will be able to offer clients enhanced capacity to develop customized solutions and facilitate plug-and-play for myriad downstream use cases.
"Building Catalyst Cloud on Microsoft Azure will enhance the ability of BCG's world-renowned data scientists and consultants to help customers across industries and geographies make smarter data-driven decisions, and so realize greater insights and value from their cloud strategy," said Jean-Philippe Courtois, Executive Vice President and President, Microsoft Global Sales, Marketing, and Operations.
