Key Findings & Highlights:
Capgemini rebranded and re-launched its former business information management (BIM) unit as its Insights & Data (I&D) practice in 2015. The brand change was driven by the company’s intent to realign the business beyond the traditional core BI service offering and to showcase its:
- Capabilities based on new technologies, e.g. in-memory, big data
- Investment in new accelerators and their consolidation into a platform, Insights-as-a-Service that would systematically address automation gaps within organizations.
The re-launch had an organizational change element too: whereas BIM grouped internal capabilities within Capgemini and was a center of excellence, Insights & Data is a fully-fledged horizontal line with its own delivery and P&L.
Insights & Data is part of Capgemini's digital initiative. It is, therefore, developing offerings that encompass digital and is taking a business approach, thanks to its analytics consulting capabilities, rather than a purely technical approach to big data and analytics services. Because of this shift, Insights & Data has also expanded its sales focus from the IT department to the wider business.
As part of this alignment on digital, Insights & Data is, along with other units, a member of the Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchanges (AIE). AIE has nine “Exchanges” (centers) for providing workshops, developing prototypes, and for building with clients, business and use cases.
