Andersen Consulting welcomes BMA and Cloud23 to South African network
Andersen Consulting is stepping up its ambitions in the South African market with the addition of two new collaborating firms, BMA and Cloud23.
The latest signings follow closely on the heels of earlier additions Moyo, a digital consulting firm, and Cape Town-based Omni HR Consulting, which specialises in human capital services. The new partners further broaden Andersen Consulting’s local capabilities, with BMA focused on manufacturing excellence and Cloud23 specialising in Salesforce implementations.
Established over two decades ago, BMA works across manufacturing value chains – from producers to their clients – alongside government and development agencies to drive industrial competitiveness. The consulting firm delivers integrated services spanning industrial policy, value chain strategy, manufacturing competitiveness and lean consulting, decarbonization and SME development.
Commenting on the affiliation with Andersen Consulting, Rob Stewart, CEO of BMA, said: “Many of the organizations we work with face jurisdictional, financial, and regulatory complexity as they shift toward more sustainable models. Our collaboration with Andersen Consulting enables us to help clients navigate that complexity, leveraging Andersen’s global platform to mobilize the resources and structures needed to accelerate transformation.”
Headquartered in Johannesburg, with operations extending to India, Cloud23 is a 150-person company that delivers digital transformation services – consulting, implementation and managed services – to clients across sectors such as finance, telecom, healthcare, and manufacturing. The firm is a certified partner of Salesforce, MuleSoft and AWS.
Ram Ramakrishnan, founder and CEO of Cloud23, said: “We focus on aligning technology with purpose, delivering outcomes that support long-term growth, customer value, and innovation. Collaborating with Andersen Consulting allows us to amplify our mission and extend the impact of our work across a global platform.”
Welcoming the pair of firms to the network, Mark Vorsatz, chairman and CEO of Andersen (the parent of Andersen Consulting), said: “The capabilities of Cloud23 in Salesforce, artificial intelligence, and systems integration complement our consulting platform and elevate the value we can offer clients navigating complex, enterprise-wide transformation.”
“The expertise of BMA meanwhile adds a new dimension to our platform, bringing practical insight into sectors where environmental goals, economic performance, and regulatory demands intersect.”
