BGTS

What BGTS does

BGTS is a privately held software and technology services company headquartered in London, with subsidiary entities in Germany (BGTS GmbH), the Netherlands (BGTS B.V.), and additional offices in Türkiye, the UAE, and 14 strategic delivery locations spanning Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and India. Founded in 1995, the firm employs 2,000+ professionals and reports 30+ years of engineering experience, 280 active client accounts, and 1,500+ completed projects. Its primary vertical is Banking & Financial Services (BFSI), with additional exposure to manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, retail, IT/technology, media, and e-commerce. Named enterprise customers include HSBC, ING, Standard Chartered, RBS, LSEG, Microsoft, IBM, Mercedes-Benz, BASF, Vodafone, and Coca-Cola.

The company's offering is organised into three service pillars: Engineering (software development, AI, quality engineering, cloud, and data & analytics), Digital Transformation (digital strategy, technology roadmap, agile delivery, and DevOps), and Enterprise Service Management (endpoint management, data centre operations, NOC monitoring, end user support), with a dedicated BFSI solutions bundle that includes fintech software development, legacy modernisation, and AI-powered services. Technology stack and partner ecosystem centre on Microsoft, AWS, ServiceNow, Atlassian, Temenos (for core banking), Qlik, Mendix, and Xurrent, supported by 7 ISO certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and Cyber Essentials Plus. AI capabilities are applied within BFSI workflows and span conversational AI, generative AI, agentic workflows, predictive credit/fraud models, NLP-based document understanding, and ITSM automation, though no proprietary foundation models or patents are disclosed.

BGTS operates a professional services revenue model with custom project-based and retainer pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via regional offices with dedicated phone lines for the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Türkiye, complemented by partner co-marketing with major technology vendors and a content-marketing motion focused on AI in banking. Distribution is further reinforced by a Dubai regional HQ (launching 2025) targeting MEA and CCA, signalling a deliberate geographic push beyond its existing UK/Europe/Türkiye base.
