Capgemini

Capgemini SE is a French multinational information technology (IT) services and consulting company. It is headquartered in Paris, France. The business was established as the Société pour la Gestion de l'Entreprise et le Traitement de l'Information (Sogeti) by Serge Kampf in 1974. It adopted the name CAP Gemini Sogeti in 1975, shortly after it acquired the Centre d'Analyse et de Programmation (CAP) and Gemini Computer Systems. The company expanded considerably during the early 1980s, often via the acquisition of other companies. In 1996, the simplified name Cap Gemini was adopted by the firm. In March 2000, at the height of the dot-com bubble, Cap Gemini purchased Ernst & Young Consulting for roughly $11 billion; the early 2000s proved to be fiscally challenging for the company, compelling it to sell off its North American consulting wing and to restructure its operations. During the mid-to-late 2000s, Cap Gemini embraced offshoring via the expansion of its presence in India, which included the purchase of both Kanbay and Thesys. In 2015, Cap Gemini acquired the US-based technology and services company iGate for $4 billion. Two years later, the business was reorganised as Capgemini SE. In June 2019, Capgemini acquired the engineering specialist Altran, from which it formed Capgemini Engineering. By the end of the 2010s, Capgemini held over one hundred active contracts with various bodies of the French government. In July 2025, it purchased the technology outsourcing firm WNS Global Services for $3.3 billion. During the 2020s, the company placed considerable resources into the development of quantum computing and generative AI. In February 2026, Capgemini announced plans to sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, amid public outcry concerning its contract to provide skiptracing services to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
