Capgemini announced the acquisition of a 100 percent stake in Minneapolis-based BI Consulting Group (BICG), a leading full-service technology consultancy for customers who purchase Oracle Business Intelligence and Enterprise Performance Management technologies. BICG's offerings include implementation, support, education and software enhancement services.

This move follows the acquisition of another Business Information Management company—Avantias in France. The acquisitions reinforce Capgemini's Business Information Management (BIM) positioning in North America and will contribute to its overall growth program.

BIM is a key strategic growth area for Capgemini, as there is a strong demand from organizations interested in new strategies and techniques to retain, organize and gain insight from information, says Lanny Cohen, CEO of Capgemini U.S.
