Capgemini Consulting inked a three-year joint research collaboration with the MIT Center for Digital Business to conduct joint research into digital transformation.
Calling it "major strategic focus" for the firm, Pierre-Yves Cros, CEO of Capgemini Consulting, says "Digital Transformation goes well beyond technology. It is about the impact that digitization is having on the business, from strategy to people to operations."
Digital technologies now have a pervasive influence on all areas of the corporation, from delivering enhanced productivity and efficiency in the core operations to substantial improvement in the way people interact and collaborate within an organization, he says.
"This is also about a new transformation agenda for companies—making customer experiences coherent within the multitude of channels now available," he says. "It's about making better and smarter decisions based on an ever-increasing flow of data, creating open enterprises with strong links to customers and suppliers, encouraging stronger collaboration across often geographically disparate units, as well as managing these new technologies within the existing infrastructure of the corporation."
With this move, Capgemini Consulting will also expand its global network of 3,600 consultants across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East by hiring 1,000 consultants by year's end.
