CHAPTER 2 HISTORY OF THE COMPANY AND FOUNDER:


2.1 Founder of the company

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 3


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

 Capgemini was founded by Serge Kampf in 1967 as an enterprise management and


data processing company. The company was founded as the Société pour la Gestion
de l'Entreprise et le Traitement de l'Information (Sogeti)

 In1974, Sogeti acquired Gemini Computers Systems, an American company based


in New York.In 1975, having made two major acquisitions of CAP (Centre d'Analyse
et de Programmation) and Gemini Computer Systems, and following resolution of a
dispute with the similarly named CAP UK over the international use of the name
'CAP', Sogeti renamed itself as CAP Gemini Sogeti.

 Cap Gemini Sogeti launched US operations in 1981, following the acquisition of


Milwaukee-based DASD Corporation, specializing in data conversion and employing
500 people in 20 branches throughout the US. Following this acquisition, The U.S.
Operation was known as Cap Gemini DASD.

 In 1990 Cap Gemini Sogeti acquired the UK company Hoskyns Group, the European
leader in IT outsourcing and managed services.

 In 1996, the name was simplified to Cap Gemini, and the firm launched a new group
logo. All operating companies worldwide were re-branded to operate as Cap Gemini.

 Ernst & Young Consulting was acquired by Cap Gemini in 2000. It simultaneously
integrated Gemini Consulting to form Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. In 2017, Cap
Gemini S.A. became Capgemini SE, and its Euronext ticker name similarly changed
from CAP GEMINI to CAPGEMINI.

 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. Its large backend team is based in India. Earlier Capgemini
acquisitions included Kanbay for $1.2 billion and iGate for $4 billion.

 In 2019, Capgemini acquired Altran, in the largest acquisition in the company's


history, bringing the total employee count to over 250,000. As part of the acquisition,

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 4


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

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
this group and operate under the frog brand.

 In June 2021, Capgemini partnered with Sanofi, Orange & Generali to launch
Future4care, a European start-up accelerator focused on digital healthcare. In 2021,
Capgemini acquired RXP Services and Acclimation in Australia to expand their
operations in Australia. Also in 2021, Capgemini acquired Australian company
Empired and its New Zealand subsidiary Intergen

 As of 2021, Capgemini has over 300,000 employees in approximately 50 countries,


with around 120,000 in India.

 Serge Kampf founded Sogeti, the company that would later become the Capgemini
Group, on October 1st of that year. At the helm of the Group for 45 years, Kampf
transformed the small company from southeastern France into a global industry
leader in IT services.

 Roots in the Alps

 Born in Grenoble in 1934, Kampf received a double degree in Law and Economics
before beginning his career in 1960 at the General Direction of
Telecommunications in Paris. He then joined the Compagnie des Machines Bull,
one of the leading global computer manufacturers at the time.

 Kampf created Sogeti on October 1st, 1967 with three former colleagues in a two-
room apartment converted into an office in Grenoble. In an era of technological and
cultural change, Sogeti provided a visionary offer of IT services, combining
technical and organizational consulting with customer proximity.

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 5


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

 Original, Atypical, Undeterred

 Thanks to Kampf’s strong initial choices, Sogeti enjoyed impressive growth. The
company was an early provider of IT outsourcing and consulting, and enabled
operational decentralization, financial independence, and total freedom from IT
manufacturers. This original and atypical strategy firmly established Sogeti in the
IT services landscape and allowed it to grow into a leader in Europe.

 By 1975 it had an established presence in 21 countries, following the acquisition of


two major IT services companies, CAP and Gemini Computer Systems. In 1975
Kampf changed the Group’s name from Sogeti to “Cap Gemini Sogeti,” going
against the opinion of most of those close to him. It would later be simplified to
Capgemini in 1996.

 The years following the name change were ones of conquest: the winning of new
businesses, further development of consulting and services, moving into new
markets, forming major alliances, and going public in 1988.

 During my 45 years at the head of the Group, there are many decisions I don’t
regret and some I’m very proud of! In the years to come, I want the Group to stay
true to its values and continue to strive to be the best
Serge Kampf
 By 1989, the Group was seen as one of the world leaders in the IT sector. A
discreet but influential entrepreneur, visionary, and man of great intellectual rigor,
Serge Kampf stood out for his original management methods that made friends of
employees and built on his devotion to a collective project.

 In 2012, Kampf announced his departure from the presidency of Capgemini, 45


years after beginning his entrepreneurial journey. He passed away on March 15th,
2016, at the age of 81.

2.2 TRIBUTE TO SERGE KAMPF

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 6


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

Founder of the Capgemini Group

By Paul Hermelin, Chairman and CEO of Capgemini

 He was a visionary and demanding rigorous leader, but he was also reserved, loyal,
generous and considerate. All of the descriptions we have read honoring Serge
Kampf are incredibly apt. And those fortunate enough to have known him, his
family, friends and also, to a certain degree, the Group’s 180,000 employees can
testify to this. Serge was an exceptional man. He was captivating and left no one
indifferent. A leader who understood the evolution of our business from quite early
on, his life was an extraordinary journey. Over nearly fifty years, he built the
company from a two-room apartment in his hometown of Grenoble to being one of
the global leaders in the ultra-competitive world of IT services.

 Serge Kampf inspired the dreams of generations of IT professionals. He instilled


the Group with the drive to win with his genius and entrepreneurial passion.
Capgemini has completed over 40 acquisitions and welcomed over 50 countries
and cultures because of the organizational model invented by Serge Kampf. As
decentralized as possible, this model transcends differences and respects everyone
involved in this shared adventure. Throughout the 49 years that Serge dedicated to
Capgemini, he also demonstrated that it was possible to build one of the largest
companies in France and expand it across the world, with only a few key values
serving as his compass. These seven values are what make us unique in the
business world. Serge understood that a Group is only as strong as the resolute
commitment of its employees. Therefore, he emphasized these same values in the
men and women who worked at his side.

 We begin with Honesty, which he considered a cardinal principle of the business


world. Honesty has earned us recognition as one of the most ethical companies in
the world for the 4th consecutive year.
 Boldness, of course, with an appetite for taking measured risks. Boldness, which
today has made us a powerful brand in Europe, the United States, Brazil and
India.

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 7


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

 Trust, which extends to all levels that of clients, without whom nothing is
possible, but also the trust placed in our people and our teams, which engenders a
reciprocal feeling of responsibility for their actions and decisions.
 More surprising in the context of a large group, Freedom and the spirit of
independence. As a value that was close to Serge’s heart, he felt that it should
govern not only relationships between the Group and our clients, but also with
our employees.
 Team Spirit, or the ability to share the good and the bad with each other. For
Serge, Team Spirit also often meant generosity, or even loyalty, which many of
those who stood by his side bore witness to.
 Modesty, which translates into the desire to focus on the essential, without jargon
or emphasis. In a world full of hyperbole, he was particularly distrustful of the
effects of fashion.
 And finally, Fun, because despite his legendary demanding nature and his desire
to see his teams surpass themselves, he was also concerned that everyone felt
fulfilled and found pleasure in their work. Serge embodied these values with the
conviction that, at Capgemini, we formed a “separate” community within our
industry and that we would find success by being faithful to our principles.

 Serge was also the perfect representation of what friendship could be. He was
a friend to his colleagues and a friend to the world of rugby. Ultimately, he
showed that you could create a global leader in business based on the principle
of friendship. Capgemini has lost its founder. As you can see from the
selection of remembrances on the following page, our pain is shared. All of the
Group’s teams, myself included, are committed to keeping Serge’s teachings in
mind: to continually strive to take Capgemini his Group further. This is how
we will honor his memory. We owe it to him.

 This Annual Report embodies one of the last professional conversations that I
had with Serge. Always enthusiastic, Serge contributed to this document up to
the last minute. He especially valued reflecting on the past year and the
commitments and achievements of the men and women that make up
Capgemini.

CAPGEMINI 2022-23

Just some of the messages received in remembrance of Serge Kampf (1934-


2016)

 A Group employee in France

“Serge Kampf was one of those people who believed in you and offered you the
opportunity to make a fresh start, on the condition that you put in the energy, talent and
commitment.”

 Group employee in India

“A great personality whose thoughts and actions benefited thousands of people across so
many regions! I was fortunate enough to have met him during one of his visits to India.”
Jean-Loup Dabadie, Scriptwriter, songwriter, member of L’Académie Française

“A tree has fallen…


A tree from our part of the country, a tree from his part of the country… A tree whose
roots have grown far below the borders… a one century old tree trunk, or nearly so, a
tough bark on which so many young people etched their hopes…

A tree has fallen..


Only yesterday, its immense branches, weighed down by the weight of life, carried fruit
which always fell in the neighbor’s garden, as though by chance. Serge was a man of few
words, a “silent”, as we say in our countryside that he loved. But his silences were so
fertile that they brought us the downstrokes and the upstrokes of the human mind, wrath
and forgiveness.

A tree has fallen..


At times it came up against headwinds, war winds. But Serge Kampf never left his land,
never left his sky. Because he never gave up on the people we simply are.

 Emmanuel Macron

Sector@EmmanuelMacron

CAPGEMINI 2022-23

“S. Kampf, industry leader and an exceptional entrepreneur, has left us. Our
thoughts are with his family and Capgemini employees.”

 A former Group employee


“Serge was an exceptional human being, a visionary, demanding entrepreneur, for
whom ethics, discretion and friendship were vital. As a boss, he was the best of the
best and had an emotional intelligence that many people lack”.

 Le Monde, March 15, 2016, Dominique Gallois


“To those who asked him how to sell intelligence in the services industry, he
answered, ‘You need sensitivity, emotion and heart. Being in business is like being
in love; the important thing is to love – to love the employees and to love the
clients’.

 Maurice Levy Publicis


“He was a man of character, firm friendships, loyalty, and was an exceptional
entrepreneur.”

The Group’s development under Serge Kampf’s leadership

 The early years (1967-1975)

Serge Kampf founds Sogeti in 1967 in Grenoble. In 1975, with the acquisition of two IT
services companies, CAP and Gemini Computer Systems, we become a leader in Europe
with a presence in 21 countries.

 The expansion years (1975-1989)

The Group continues to grow and focus on fields ranging from capital investment
solutions to intellectual services. In 1989, internal restructuring, European expansion and
penetration into the American market enable Capgemini to become one of the global
leaders in this sector.

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 10


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

 New growth strategies (1990-1997)

Capgemini develops its management consulting practice thanks to a series of acquisitions,


including United Research (1990) and the Mac Group (1991) in the US. The Group also
expand our activities in Europe through a number of acquisitions, such as that of Bossard
in France. The acquisition of Ernst & Young Consulting in 2000 marks a turning point for
the Group, strengthening our consulting practice and our presence in the US.

 Building the future (1998 – Today)

At the end of the ‘90s, Capgemini begins its development in India, which results in 85,000
employees by the end of 2015. In 2002, Serge Kampf hands the role of CEO over to Paul
Hermelin. In 2010, the Group adopts a new brand signature: “People matter, results
count.” This phrase expresses our singular vision that technology be developed by and for
its users in the service of business results. In 2012, after 45 years, Serge Kampf steps
down from his role as Chairman at Capgemini. He proposes Paul Hermelin as his
successor and remains active up until his passing away, as the Vice-Chairman of the
Board.

3.8 Capgemini and the public sector in France

 In December 2022, the consulting firm McKinsey & Company was alleged, amongst
other accusations, to have benefitted in France from special access and favorable
government treatment, including the awarding of lucrative government contracts.

 The French media dubbed the scandal the "McKinsey Affair". Subsequently, a French
Senate Committee of Inquiry investigated the growing influence of private consulting
firms on public policy.

 In February 2022 Senator Éliane Assassi questioned each consulting firm on their
activities on specific projects. She raised in particular the case of a former employee
of the Capgemini group, who had been appointed as head of the Elysée
correspondence service.

 The service subsequently contracted Capgemini to reorganize its digital tools, with
the aim of setting up a system to automate mail reading to produce reports. "Is it not
embarrassing, from your point of view, that a former employee of Capgemini is
responsible for reviewing the correspondence service of the Élysée?", the senator
asked.

 "It is not up to us to have an opinion on who, within the client organization, triggers
this type of service", replied Mathieu Dougados, executive director, and he suggested
the commission ask the Élysée.

 Etienne Grass, director of public sector activities at Capgemini commented "In


principle, our employees are not intended to be recruited", and for good reason:
"when it happens, it puts us in a complex situation", he admitted.

 However, the firm makes an exception vis-à-vis the State, by not applying certain
contractual clauses which prevent an employee from joining a client, "provided that
an ethical framework has been fixed", the director underlined.

 In June 2022, Le Monde published a survey of the significant lucrative projects


carried out by Capgemini for the French public sector entitled "Consulting firms:
Capgemini, the expensive service provider that the State can no longer do without".
The name of Etienne Grass, head of the "public sector" market unit of Capgemini
Invent since 2017, was mentioned.

CHAPTER 4
SWOT Analysis of Capgemini

In SWOT Analysis we can understand the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities


and threats to the company. This gives us an idea of the reason behind the company’s success
as well as tells us what opportunities lie in front of the company which may benefit it.

4.1 Strengths of Capgemini


Every company has its strengths which are the reason for its success as well as give a
competitive edge against other companies in the same line of business. Here are some of the
strengths of Capgemini.
 Technology – The main strength of the company is working with diversified
technology, providing actual results to technology-oriented people. It tries to fill the
gap between IT and business firms.
 Strong presence in Europe – Capgemini has a strong presence in the European
market which has enabled the expansion of the right shore model. The Rightshore
model has its main focus on cost reduction, streamlined processes, innovation, and the
possibility of outsourcing IT operations.
 Strong leadership and solid values – For a company, its core values are its
foundation. Capgemini’s core values like honesty with the customers, boldness, team

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 18


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

spirit, trust and freedom are the basic moral and ethical values of the company which
has propelled it in moving forward with integrity.
 Firm presence Internationally and in India – The Company has a strong global
presence in about 50 countries as it has 145,000 employees working in their
organization globally. It employs over 50000 people in India creating a strong
presence in the country.
 Expertise – Capgemini has a lot of experience in the Public, Government, telecom,
energy and utilities, manufacturing and finance sector making it an expert in these
sectors.
 Strong Brand Portfolio – Capgemini has done a lot of investment in building its
brand portfolio over the years which has helped the company while expanding and
entering new sectors.

4.2 Weakness of Capgemini


Although Capgemini is a leading organization in the IT field it also has some weaknesses that
act as hindrances. Some of the weaknesses are as follows:-

 No scope apart from core business – Even though Capgemini is a leading


organization in the IT Sector, it faces a lot of challenges while moving to other
domains because of its current work culture.
 Integration challenges – Everyone knows Campgemini’s acquisition behaviour.
Even though it is successful in integrating small firms it faces a failure in integrating
firms following a different work culture.
 The profitability ratio and Net Contribution – Although Capgemini is a leading
organization in the IT sector it has a profitability ratio and Net contribution below the
industry average.
 Expansion limitation – The structure of the organization is compatible and soothing
only for the current business model and is a hindrance for expansion in nearby
product segments.
 Not able to face new challenges – The challenges faced by the company as a result
of entering into new sectors are not tackled properly resulting in loss of market share
in niche categories. It should build a system of internal feedback starting from the
sales team itself.

Dept of CS&E, SJMIT, Chitradurga Page | 19


CAPGEMINI 2022-23

Poor Marketing – The marketing strategy of Capgemini does not highlight its unique selling
proposition and positioning which may act as a backlog for the company in terms of giving
