IGATE to operate exclusively under the Capgemini brand

IGATE will now operate exclusively under the Capgemini brand, six months after the completion of its acquisition of the US-based corporation.

Posted in Digital Business

The rebranding of IGATE as Capgemini is a key step in the integration process which has seen 31,000 former IGATE employees join Capgemini. The acquisition makes North America the Group's largest region by far, with 30% of revenues, while boosting Capgemini’s Global Production Center network to more than 96,000 employees and augmenting its expertise in the Financial Services sector.

The strong combination of IGATE and Capgemini’s service offerings and capabilities in the fields of innovation and industrialization, has already resulted in some initial joint client wins including one of the largest North American property and casualty companies, a leading global risk advisor, insurer and reinsurance broker, as well as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) consolidation initiative for a major food and beverage company.

“Only six months after the completion of the acquisition of IGATE, our clients are already benefiting from the integration of talent and the combined portfolio. It’s been a natural fit,” comments Virginie R?gis,Group Marketing & Communications Director and Member of the Group Executive Committee at Capgemini. “Operating as one brand means that we can offer our clients seamless access to a wide set of expertise. It is an acknowledgement that the brand transition phase is complete and that we are now going to market officially as one unified company.”
