Our HP experience and capability

Capgemini and HP continually commit to joint investments to enable us to create, build and deliver vertical solutions that solve business challenges. Together, we’re a trusted provider to some of the world’s largest companies serving industries including Energy, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Telecommunications, Media and Life Sciences.

Capgemini and HP have a preferred working relationship in such focused areas as SAP TCO and Managed Print Services. In addition, Capgemini operates HP Solution Centres in Chicago, New York, Paris, Grenoble, London, Utrecht, Copenhagen, Dusseldorf, Stockholm and Madrid, to remain in the forefront of innovation and collaboration with HP in order to deliver measurably faster, more sustainable results for our clients.

Joint projects

UK eGovernment programme

Determined to use technology to revolutionise the way it interacts with citizens, a UK city awarded a 10-year ICT outsourcing contract to Capgemini. We partnered with HP to develop and deliver the solution: HP servers were used to run databases, applications and ancillary services including file and print, and HP services delivered Application Ready Infrastructure (ARI) for the pre-production planning, production build and design. The solution went live on time and to budget. As well as the improved efficiency and customer service it was looking for, the city will realise estimated efficiency savings of £26m over the life of the contract.

UK television company

This programme maker and broadcaster turned to Capgemini when it urgently needed to improve its costing of projects. Lack of computing capacity meant that programmes were being sold based on inaccurate financial analysis, so that they were often either overpriced and uncompetitive, or underpriced and unprofitable. Capgemini devised a set of rapidly achievable improvements, including re-locating a key database on to a new, relatively inexpensive HP server. As a result of Capgemini’s and HP’s contribution, online response times improved by a factor of eight, and 98% of overnight jobs completed by morning, compared with 20% before. The company was now much better positioned to sell new productions at a profit.

In partnership

Our collaborative approach, global resources, local expertise and years of experience together enable us to deliver what we promise, efficiently and on time with rapid returns on business solutions and IT investments. The Capgemini and HP partnership provides:

• Integrated delivery of the best business knowledge, vertically and horizontally, combined with the best technology.
• Collaborative solutions, built on a choice of industry platforms, with price based on value.
• Proven, structured delivery process and teaming approach providing a single, unified point of accountability.
• Complementary “adaptive” solutions to changing business requirements.
• The experience of successfully completing more SAP installations and upgrades than anyone else in the world.

We often work with HP in an “ecosystem”, bringing together the right group of partners for a given job and managing them all, so that the client gets the benefit of specialist expertise without needing to deal with multiple supplier interfaces.

Capgemini CTO Andy Mulholland has summed up the partnership: “Together, we provide the optimal combination of business and technical expertise to help companies align their business and IT functions to drive profit and accelerate growth.”
