Capgemini launches strategic initiative with Amazon Web Services to accelerate enterprise digital transformation via cloud technologiesPARIS, Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Capgemini is launching a Group strategic initiative to aggressively expand its cloud capabilities with Amazon Web Services (AWS), helping clients to increase their business insights, agility, security and cost effectiveness to drive improvements in their business performance. Increasing attention to the needs of European clients, Capgemini and AWS will focus on SAP migrations, mass application migrations, accelerated data center modernization, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Cloud has fundamentally changed the economic landscape for many enterprises. Faced with disruptions from both existing players and new competition in parallel industries, many enterprises are now under significant pressure to maintain and improve their competitive advantage. Earlier this year Capgemini found that cloud leaders are building more than 20 percent of their applications in the cloud, driven by the need to improve velocity, collaboration, and customer experience. This new initiative combines AWS's comprehensive ecosystem of cloud technologies with Capgemini's global expertise in applications, on-premises infrastructure and cloud managed services to drive time-to-market reduction, productivity gains and cost savings. It will also open new business opportunities for enterprises through the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and innovative customer interfaces. The first focus of the initiative will be on:
"Capgemini has been a key contributor in our work of building a cloud-based, real-time big data solution including machine learning and analytics hosted on AWS.

"Capgemini has partnered extensively with ABN AMRO to develop and operate a foundation platform built on AWS and made available to DevOps teams within the bank, which is actively used by over 50 DevOps teams. Developers praise the velocity with which new AWS services are offered and find the support ecosystem an excellent fit for their needs. A number of workloads which are key to ABN AMRO's digital portfolio are currently in production through the support of Capgemini and AWS," said Jeroen van der Leer, Product Development Manager at ABN AMRO. This initiative with AWS builds upon the two organizations' ten-year relationship. Capgemini is a Premier Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and an AWS Managed Service Partner. Aiman Ezzat, Group Executive Board member and Chief Operating Officer at Capgemini said, Andy Isherwood, Vice President and Managing Director EMEA, Amazon Web Services, Inc. said, "Capgemini has already helped many customers leverage the scale, security, and agility of AWS services to innovate on the cloud.
