Capgemini SE is a French multinational information technology (IT) services and consulting company, headquartered in Paris, France.[3]

History

[edit]

In 1967, Serge Kampf[4] founded the Société pour la Gestion de l'Entreprise et le Traitement de l'Information (Sogeti), as an enterprise management and data processing company.[5]

In 1974, Sogeti acquired Gemini Computer Systems, an American company based in New York.[6] In 1975, having made two major acquisitions of CAP (Centre d'Analyse et de Programmation) and Gemini Computer Systems, and following the resolution of a dispute with the similarly named CAP UK over the international use of the name 'CAP', Sogeti renamed itself as CAP Gemini Sogeti.[6]

Cap Gemini Sogeti launched US operations in 1981, following the acquisition of Milwaukee-based DASD Corporation, specializing in data conversion and employing 500 people in 20 branches throughout the US. Following this acquisition, the U.S. Operation was known as Cap Gemini DASD.[7]

In 1990 Cap Gemini Sogeti acquired the Hoskyns Group, a major IT outsourcing and managed services company in the UK.[8]

In 1996, the name was simplified to Cap Gemini, and the firm launched a new group logo. All operating companies worldwide were re-branded to operate as Cap Gemini.[6]

Ernst & Young Consulting was acquired by Cap Gemini in 2000. It simultaneously integrated Gemini Consulting to form Cap Gemini Ernst & Young.[9] In 2017, Cap Gemini S.A. became Capgemini SE, and its Euronext ticker name similarly changed from CAP GEMINI to CAPGEMINI.[10]

In 2006, Capgemini acquired Kanbay for $1.25 billion, which expanded its footprint and capabilities in India.[11]

In 2015 it acquired the U.S.-based technology and services company iGate for $4 billion.[11] In 2018, the company acquired the Philadelphia-based digital customer engagement company LiquidHub for US$500 million to assist Capgemini's digital and cloud growth in North America.[12]

In 2019, Capgemini acquired Altran, a provider of engineering and R&D services.[13] It was the largest acquisition in the company's history, bringing Capgemini's total employee count to over 250,000.[14] As part of the acquisition, Capgemini acquired frog design and Cambridge Consultants, which were integrated into Capgemini Invent; several other recent acquisitions, including staff from Fahrenheit 212, Idean, and June21, have been merged into that group and operate under the frog brand.[15][16] In 2021, Capgemini grouped the engineering and R&D activities of the Altran brand with Capgemini Digital Engineering Services and formed a new division, Capgemini Engineering.[17]

In June 2021, Capgemini partnered with Sanofi, Orange and Generali to launch Future4care, a European start-up accelerator focused on digital healthcare.[18][19] In 2021, Capgemini acquired RXP Services and Acclimation in Australia to expand their operations in Australia.[20][21] Also in 2021, Capgemini acquired Australian company Empired and its New Zealand subsidiary Intergen.[22]

In 2024, Capgemini acquired Syniti, an enterprise data management company specializing in data quality, data migration, and regulatory compliance.[23]

As of 2025, Capgemini has over 340,000 employees in approximately 50 countries.[24]

In July 2025, Capgemini acquired WNS Global Services in a $3.3 billion cash deal.[25][26]
