Beyond, a global Google Cloud engineering company, marked its official entry into the Philippine market with a launch event at Blackbird, located within Nielson Tower in Makati City. The company is opening a local presence to give more Philippine organizations direct access to specialist engineering and Google-first innovation as they build and scale on the cloud.

Beyond specializes in Google Cloud, with more than 75% of its people working as hands-on technical
specialists. It designs and builds technology for some of the world’s most recognized brands, with work spanning artificial intelligence, security, and commerce. The Philippine launch expands an international footprint that already includes offices in the Philippines, Romania, and Argentina.
“The Philippines is home to exceptional engineering talent, and we see a real opportunity to build here for the long term,” said Alan Paton, Chief Executive Officer. “Our aim is to give organisations across the country direct access to the engineering expertise and Google-first thinking that help them operate and compete more effectively.”
Beyond was formed in 2023, when CTS, a Google Cloud partner founded in Manchester, merged with Appsbroker to create Qodea. After a series of acquisitions that added engineering depth, cybersecurity, and digital product capability, the business rebranded as Beyond. Its Philippine operations form part of the company’s Asia Pacific delivery organization, headed by Geoff Newell, Delivery Centre Director for APAC.
The launch brought together around 150 guests, including leaders from government, the diplomatic community, the technology sector, and the academe, alongside members of the press. Beyond plans
to grow its local team and client base across the region in the months ahead.
