ARTESYS, a Capgemini Company
Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, has announced its acquisition of ARTESYS.
With ARTESYS, Capgemini will offer a complete portfolio in infrastructure transformation expertise in France. The acquisition will allow it to cover the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from conception to implementation, including the adoption of various cloud computing models to respond to IT directors’ desire to sustainably reduce costswhile ensuring their IT systems more reactive to changing business needs.
These acquisition is aligned with the growth strategy of Capgemini’s global service lines:
- Infrastructure Transformation Services (ITS), at the core of Capgemini’s new Infrastructure Services Strategic Business Unit (SBU), aims to help both private and public organizations draw full benefit from cloud computing while streamlining their costs. The infrastructure services market in France is estimated at close to €9.4 billion for 2011 with average growth of 5% between 2010 and 2014.
For Eric Chenneveau, Chief Executive Officer of Artesys, who will take the reins of Capgemini’s ITS business in France: “We are very proud to be a part of Capgemini’s new ambition in the infrastructure services area. Artesys and Capgemini had already successfully built up a close relationship after working with mutual clients for whom Artesys implemented ITIL[1] process tools.”
