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

History

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 acquired CAP (Centre d'Analyse et de Programmation) and Gemini Computer Systems, and having resolved 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]

Cap Gemini acquired Ernst & Young Consulting in 2000 and integrated it with 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]

Capgemini and the public sector in France

In December 2022, the consulting firm McKinsey & Company was alleged, amongst other accusations, to have benefitted in France from special access and favorable government treatment, including the awarding of lucrative government contracts. The French media dubbed the scandal the "McKinsey Affair". Subsequently, a French Senate Committee of Inquiry investigated the growing influence of private consulting firms on public policy.

In February 2022 Senator Éliane Assassi questioned each consulting firm on their activities on specific projects. She raised in particular the case of a former employee of the Capgemini group, who had been appointed as head of the Elysée correspondence service. The service subsequently contracted Capgemini to reorganize its digital tools, with the aim of setting up a system to automate mail reading to produce reports. "Is it not embarrassing, from your point of view, that a former employee of Capgemini is responsible for reviewing the correspondence service of the Élysée?", the senator asked. "It is not up to us to have an opinion on who, within the client organization, triggers this type of service", replied Mathieu Dougados, executive director, and he suggested the commission ask the Élysée.

Etienne Grass, director of public sector activities at Capgemini also participated. He was a former classmate of Emmanuel Macron (French president at the time of the scandal), and former chief of cabinet of a government minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.[43][44]

In June 2022, Le Monde published a survey of the significant lucrative projects carried out by Capgemini for the French public sector entitled "Consulting firms: Capgemini, the expensive service provider that the State can no longer do without". The name of Etienne Grass, head of the "public sector" market unit of Capgemini Invent since 2017, was mentioned.[45]
