Company History

The company has undergone a few mergers and changes in names, but it is today known as Cap Gemini.
In the year 2000, Ernst and Young Consulting was acquired by Cap Gemini and its consulting service was enhanced. It bought Kanbay in 2006 which allowed it to expand in India. It has also acquired iGate, in 2015, to expand its global outsourcing services.
Capgemini has purchased a large engineering and research firm, Altran in 2019. This was an acquisition that increased its services in engineering and innovation. During the years, Capgemini has taken home companies such as LiquidHub, Syniti and WNS Global Services to enhance its digital and AI.
