About us
Senior specialists, engineered in South Africa
Big Data SA is a South African data, cloud and infrastructure consultancy. We help organisations protect, move and make sense of their data, with on-site teams in South Africa and remote delivery worldwide.
Our mission
Make data an asset, not a risk
Too many organisations live with fragile backups, confusing cloud bills and reports nobody trusts. We want to replace that with infrastructure and data platforms that are secure, well run and actually useful - delivered by people who've done it many times before.
How we work
A core team plus a vetted specialist network
Every engagement is led by our core team, who own the relationship and the outcome. For larger or specialised work, we bring in vetted specialists from our network - certified engineers, analysts and architects - so the team scales to the size of your project without you paying for a bench.
- Project delivery: A fixed scope with clear deliverables and a clean handover.
- Managed service: A monthly retainer covering monitoring, support and ongoing improvements.
- Embedded specialists: Vetted contractors who work inside your team on a monthly basis.
- Co-managed: We work alongside your IT team, filling skills gaps rather than replacing people.
International
Working with clients outside South Africa
- South Africa runs on SAST (UTC+2) all year, with no daylight-saving changes.
- Full working-day overlap with the UK and most of Europe, and a morning overlap with the US East Coast.
- Senior, English-speaking specialists and remote-first delivery.
