Why Consulting Firms Are Buying Their Own Cloud Infrastructure

In Episode 34 of Service Business Talks, Lucas and Luna explore a growing trend among top consulting firms: acquiring and building their own cloud infrastructure. They examine why firms like McKinsey and Deloitte are spending billions on private data centers and edge computing nodes, moving away from relying solely on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The hosts break down the economics, client data security concerns, and how this shift could reshape the consulting industry's margins and competitive dynamics. Specific examples include McKinsey's QuantumBlack arm investing in private GPU clusters and Deloitte's strategy to offer cloud-agnostic advisory. A must-listen for anyone in professional services or tech strategy. #Consulting #CloudInfrastructure #McKinsey #Deloitte #QuantumBlack #PrivateCloud #DataCenters #GPUClusters #EdgeComputing #CloudAgnostic #BusinessStrategy #ITServices #DataSecurity #ProfessionalServices #TechTrends #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ServiceBusinessTalks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
