the World
PARIS--(Business Wire)--
The Capgemini Group (Paris:CAP) today announced a major investment to reinforce
its capabilities in Business Information Management (BIM), a set of services
that enable enterprises to manage their information lifecycle. Organizations are
increasingly looking for new strategies and techniques to retain, organize and
gain insights from the huge volumes of disparately organized data, stored across
their business applications.In response, the Group plans to hire or redeploy an
additional 3,000 BIM consultants, extending its total number of BIM consultants
to over 7,000. Capgemini will also create a Center of Excellence in India,
staffed initially with 1,000 specialists, to provide state-of-the art BIM
technology solutions for customers globally. This is the first in a series of
global strategic portfolio announcements planned over the next two quarters, et
to mobilize all the Group`s disciplines, supported by a strong sales push.

The BIM services provided by Capgemini include strategic information management
blueprinting; data architecture, warehousing and management; data analysis and
performance reporting; and electronic file management, retrieval and
collaboration portals.

BIM is a key priority for businesses in the current economic climate. According
to analyst group AMR Research,companies will spend $59.3 billion on core
Business Intelligence / Performance Management activities in 2010.1

"Large enterprises are increasingly seeing the need to enhance the effectiveness
and capabilities of existing business information systems in order to meet
demanding compliance requirements and, in particular, to gain a deeper and more
comprehensive understanding of business trends and performance," commented Paul
Nannetti, General Manager of Capgemini`s global BIM service line. "We are seeing
huge demand for these services and are mobilizing our global infrastructure to
meet them. To cater to the specific needs of key markets, we also offer
sector-specific solutions for clients in the banking and insurance, life
sciences, energy & utilities, retail and consumer product, and telecoms
sectors."

In delivering BIM services, Capgemini will work with the most appropriate
technology solutions based on the specific requirements of each client. They
will be deployed using Capgemini`s Rightshore methodology, while the India-based
BIM Center of Excellence will act as a `center of gravity` for Capgemini`s
strategy, adapting and rolling out best practices globally and ensuring that
service levels across clients can be continually improved. Capgemini will use
its Intelligent Enterprise assessment process to quickly analyze needs and
develop an enterprise-ready strategic framework and roadmap for BIM.

Vince Kelly, CIO of Orange Business Services, and Patrick Feuillatre, Head of
Business Intelligence Software Factory, Orange Business Services commented: "In
a drive to streamline our costs while maximizing our capacity, we have adopted a
new sourcing model which is based on a distributed approach and managed in
accordance with defined, structured metrics. Capgemini`s scale and capability in
Business Information Management enables us to manage our business information to
achieve better overall quality and productivity."

The additional investment will build on Capgemini`s substantial existing BIM
capabilities. The Group has been supporting BIM initiatives with customers for
