BIP UK has announced the launch of a new Google Cloud practice for its clients. The move will support organisations across the country as they use cloud technology to make the most of new opportunities in the AI space.
Headquartered in Milan, BIPis a global network of professional services experts. Founded in 2024, Datwave is BIP’s community of data scientists, AI engineers, and cloud architects building a more sustainable world driven by technology. Powered by Google Cloud technology, Datwave enables organisations to tap new AI, cloud, and data technologies by designing and building solutions for its clients.
Building on the successful launch of Datwave, which has since helped clients across Europe to harness Google Cloud’s capabilities, BIP has announced the roll-out of the a Google Cloud practice in the UK.
With the UK digital transformation market set to grow by 27% by 2030, BIP UK’s Google Cloud Practice will support clients on their digital transformation journey by harnessing Google Cloud’s advanced capabilities, such as AI-powered analytics and secure, scalable, automated infrastructure. Using these powerful tools, BIP UK can equip clients with cutting-edge technology that enhances their agility and market responsiveness.
“Being an engineering-led practice, we specialise in driving value through innovation and technology to ensure our clients stay ahead of the curve,” said Matt Penton, director of data & AI. “As UK businesses and public sector organisations increasingly adopt Google Cloud, our specialists can offer comprehensive services from strategy and migration to optimisation, supporting clients throughout their cloud transformation journey. With years of collective experience deploying enterprise grade solutions on Google Cloud, we partner with clients to address complex challenges and secure a competitive edge.”
Since arriving in the UK in 2020, BIP UK has worked to rapidly expand its offering, across a number of fronts. Earlier in 2024, this saw the firm appoint Alistair Lovegrove as its chief strategy officer for its UK division – looking to further drive the integration and growth of the business, while Paul Fenton became a partner in its public sector team.
This latest development will see BIP UK’s Google Cloud practice work alongside the firm’s other national Centres of Excellence. Spanning areas from strategy and innovation to sustainability, business advisory, and delivery, this connected service will help clients ensure they are fully embedded into every aspect of client operations, from strategy and innovation to sustainability and delivery.
Roei Haberman, CEO of BIP UK added, “Alongside our recent £3.5 million investment to support our growth to become one of the top ten consultancy firms in the UK, the addition of the Google Cloud practice enables clients to harness the latest advancements in AI and cloud technology, driving efficiency and unlocking deeper insights from data. These transformative changes within BIP UK will drive measurable business outcomes and set our clients up for sustained success.”
