This acquisition will expand Capgemini’s footprint in the fast-growing cloud managed services market. It will enable the Group to further develop industry specific packaged frameworks, intellectual property (IP) and generative AI (gen AI) solutions for cloud management and seamless migrations.

This acquisition will enable the Group to champion gen AI-powered cloud automation platforms, coupled with scalable industry-specific solutions that we know our clients want and need across the world.”
