History

Capgemini was founded by Serge Kampf in 1967[8] as an enterprise management and data processing company. The company was inaugurated as the Société pour la Gestion de l'Entreprise et le Traitement de l'Information (Sogeti).

In 1974 Sogeti acquired Gemini Computers Systems, a US company based in New York.[9] 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.[9]

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.[10]

In 1996, the name was simplified to Cap Gemini with a new group logo. All operating companies worldwide were re-branded to operate as Cap Gemini.[9]

Ernst & Young Consulting was acquired by Cap Gemini in 2000. It simultaneously integrated Gemini Consulting to form Cap Gemini Ernst & Young.[11]

In 2017, Cap Gemini S.A. became Capgemini SE, and its Euronext ticker name similarly changed from CAP GEMINI to CAPGEMINI.[12]

In 2019, Capgemini acquires Altran bringing the total employee count to over 250,000. This is the largest acquisition in the company's history.[13]

In July 2020, Capgemini reported that it has been named as a pioneer in Everest Group's Guidewire IT services called "Guidewire Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2020 – Setting the Key Phase on Cloud."[14]

gollark: Anyway, concrete, glass, urbanism and high-performance computing good; fields, isolated cottages and manually farming bad.
gollark: If you don't have an infographic for that I can't possibly believe it.
gollark: This would displease me. I dislike "cottagecore".
gollark: First aid is valid, but "helping friends with mental and emotional problems" sounds extremely hard to teach. Although I guess that also applies to independent learning and stuff, and the solution is probably to structure stuff such that it arises easily instead of trying to manually teach it.
gollark: Well, that's different to boring adulty things and jobs.
