Business Process Management (BPM)

Capgemini’s end-to-end BPM approach treats processes as assets that directly contribute to the client’s enterprise value and performance.

We combine deep domain knowledge with process improvement expertise, change skills and specialised IT capabilities on leading BPM technologies including IBM’s BPM Suite (WebSphere, Lombardi, iLog, FileNet) to improve our client’s business impact.

Business Information Management (BIM)

Traditional business information management (BIM) focused on analysing the past. With our Intelligent Enterprise approach, we show our clients how to use BIM to support decisions that will shape the future.

Capgemini has joined forces with IBM to develop information management systems that include:

• Electronic Data Records Management (supported by Filenet)
• Business Intelligence
• Data Migration
• Enterprise Content Management
• Master Data Management (supported by IBM Information Server)
• Search/Knowledge Management
• SOA Information Architecture

We have created an information delivery centre in India using IBM technology that spans the entire information agenda. One of the key benefits this delivers to our clients is improved productivity via efficient use of resources. In turn, this improvement leads to overall reduced cost of delivery, while maintaining exceptional levels of quality and client satisfaction.

Infrastructure as a Service (Cloud)

Capgemini has built its own service offerings using IBM's best in class cloud technologies and platforms, including our Infrastructure as a Service platform that delivers flexible access to infrastructure resources. Capgemini can also assist clients implementing private clouds using IBM technology.
