ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
A winning combinationCapgemini is a global consultancy engaged in information technology, management consulting, outsourcing and professional services. Headquartered in Paris, it employs over 92,000 people through offices in 33 countries. The firm’s clients are active in the automotive, consumer products, distribution, energy, chemicals, financial services, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, retail, media and telecom industries, as well as the public sector.
Capgemini was founded by Serge Kampf in 1967 as Sogeti, a boutique provider of IT services targeting only local French markets. It was too successful to maintain a low profile for long, however, and by 1975, with the acquisitions of the larger companies CAP and Gemini Computer Systems, the firm had a presence in 21 countries. Kampf toyed a bit with the corporate name, working for a while as Cap Gemini Sogeti, then opting for Cap Gemini. In 2000, the firm merged with the consulting unit of Ernst & Young and, apparently abandoning the earlier lessons of superfluous nomenclature, became Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. This was short lived, though, as a 2004 rebranding not only shortened, but compressed the name to Capgemini.
