Spam?

[edit]

Someone has written this template:
Template:Major information technology consulting and outsourcing companies and included it in various places; see for eg. at the end of the Capgemini article. Whilst it looks to me like spam, I am not 100% certain so don't want to delete it. (Can't see what other purpose it would serve, though.) Regards, @GrayanOne.

"Nationality" of Capgemini

[edit]

There seems to be a concerted campaign by some unidentified individuals to define Capgemini as an “American-French multinational company”. See the recent amendments:

User: 91.184.107.158 04:17 17 June 2022

User: 91.184.107.164 14:38 24 June 2022

User: 103.210.146.96 12:41 7 August 2022

These amendments all justify this change using the same wording and so appear to be the work of the same user. They all justify the changes by stating that in 1974 the company was formed by the “merger of Gemini Computer Systems of New York, United States and CAP Centre d' Analyse of France”.

Note that:

- The 2021 Universal Registration Document, Group History section says “1974: The first acquisitions [by Sogeti] with the purchase of two competitors: CAP (France) and Gemini Computer Systems (USA).” It goes on to list many other acquisitions.

- Capgemini now operates worldwide in 50 countries. It is headquartered, and its shares are traded, in Paris.

- The 2021 results show revenue%/employees% breakdown as: Rest of Europe 31%/19%, North America 29%/6%, France 21%/11%, UK & Ireland 11%/4%, APAC & LATAM 8%/59%

Regardless of whether the event with the American company 48 years ago was an acquisition or a merger, this does not make Capgemini an American company today. There have been many acquisitions in many countries since 1974.

At present, all these amendments have been undone, correctly in my opinion, leaving the current description as “a multinational…company”. Do others agree, and how do we stop these repeated and unnecessary amendments and undoings?

Relations between Capgemini and the public sector?'

[edit]

I have removed the new section titled 'Relations between Capgemini and the public sector?' It may or may not be relevant, but it is currently incomprehensible and needs rewriting. If this section is added, it needs to explain: - what is 'the McKinsey case'? - what happened? - who was involved (is it only Capgemini France)? - what is the concern? - why is this notable? The final sentence is not a complete sentence, and the English needs to be improved throughout. Masato.harada (talk) 17:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's derived from fr:Capgemini#Relations entre Capgemini et le secteur public. Judging from the citations I fixed, it may have been auto-translated. Certes (talk) 18:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than get involved in edit wars (which some anonymous editors seem to wish), I have revised this section, including the tortuous English, and included a WP link to the McKinsey affair. I hope it can now be understood by those who are not familiar with detailed French political news. For avoidance of doubt, I have no conflict of interest and resent that unfounded allegation. I am trying to get this article to encyclopedic quality, and the previous auto-translations from French did not do that.Masato.harada (talk) 13:00, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work on this article section. When I read it, I find this mention of "McKinsey" in the first paragraph and I don't know why it's being mentioned. If I understand right, the company McKinsey is not related to CapGemini, correct? And the reason it is being mentioned is that it was the trigger for a more general investigation by the French government that also covered CapGemini, correct? (If so, I can tweak the section to be clearer.) mcld (talk) 07:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, correct, and thank you, I'd appreciate your help. Masato.harada (talk) 16:55, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

[edit]

Hello, as part of my work for Capgemini I have declared my Conflict of Interest, and would like to propose some updates to the article; I am happy to collaborate with the community to help move this forward.

1. In the History section, please replace this paragraph:

In 2018, they acquired the Philadelphia-based digital customer engagement company LiquidHub for US$500 million to assist Capgemini's digital and cloud growth in North America. Earlier Capgemini acquisitions included Kanbay for $1.2 billion and iGate for $4 billion.[1]

With these two paragraphs which provide a clearer chronology:

In 2006, Capgemini acquired Kanbay for $1.25 billion, which expanded its footprint and capabilities in India.[1]

In 2015 it acquired the U.S.-based technology and services company iGate for $4 billion.[1] 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.[2]

2. History section, final sentence: Replace "As of 2024, Capgemini has over 338,000 employees in approximately 50 countries, with around 194,400 in India.[1]"

  1. ^ "Capgemini Q3 2024 revenues". 30 October 2024. Retrieved 30 October 2024.

with "As of 2025, Capgemini has over 340,000 employees in approximately 50 countries.[1]"

  1. ^ "FY 2024 Results". Capgemini. 18 February 2025.

3. Please replace the heading "Services" with "Subdivisions and services", which more accurately describes that section.

4. In that Subdivisions and services section, it seems more logical to list the items chronologically, by date of creation or spin-off. Therefore, please begin by moving the Sogeti subsection to the top of that section and reword the body text of the subsection (underneath the "Main article: Sogeti" template) slightly to add and cite the date, as follows:

Sogeti is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Capgemini Group,[1] spun off in 2002.[2] It is an information technology consulting company specializing in technology and engineering professional services.

Improvements and corrections

[edit]

Hello again; as previously stated, I have declared my Conflict of Interest with Capgemini, and would like to propose some additional updates to the article.

I have broken them down into four points and tried to explain the reasoning as clearly as possible. If anything is unclear, please let me know so I can further clarify and answer any lingering questions.


1. In the History section, the paragraph on Altran ("In 2019, Capgemini acquired Altran ....") is slightly confusing, and missing independent citations and pertinent information. Please replace it with the following:

In 2019, Capgemini acquired Altran, a provider of engineering and R&D services and design innovation.[1] It was the largest acquisition in the company's history, bringing Capgemini's total employee count to over 250,000.[2] As part of the acquisition, Capgemini acquired frog design and Cambridge Consultants, which were integrated into Capgemini Invent; several other recent acquisitions in the design and digital space, including staff from Fahrenheit 212, Idean, and June21, have been merged into that group and operate under the frog brand.[3][4] 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.[5]

2. Please add this information to the History section, after the paragraph beginning "In June 2021":

In 2023 and 2024, Capgemini scaled up its generative AI offerings,[1] partnering with Google Cloud, Microsoft,[2] Amazon Web Services (AWS),[3] SAP,[4] and Mistral AI.[5]

  1. ^ Ball, Stephanie (30 August 2024). "Capgemini to acquire Syniti for greater data management reach". ERP Today. Retrieved 30 July 2025.

4. In the Subdivisions and services section, rather than leaving the "Capgemini Engineering" subsection completely blank after the 'main article' template, please add the following text as a general descriptor:

In 2021, Capgemini grouped the engineering and R&D activities of its Altran brand with Capgemini Digital Engineering Services and formed a new division, Capgemini Engineering.[1]
