INTRODUCTION:
Capgemini India serves as a world-class offshore centre through its unique
Rightshore Strategy to serve global customers and Indian markets through its Local
Business Services arm. A pioneer in the Indian IT industry, Capgemini is a growing
hub for innovation, which is being achieved through COEs in various sectors. Having
its footprints globally, let us discuss the impact of changing political and economic
climate of the world on the company.
Impact of the Putin's aggression and rise of sympathetic far right parties
in Europe-
As Capgemini seek to further strengthen its IT operations in response to the
challenging economic environment caused due to the Eurozone crisis and rise of far
right parties in Europe, 65 percent of its top executives plan to implement operational
excellence initiatives designed to establish more value driven and cost effective
operations. IT operations improvement is also a key priority as market volatility
continues to increase the need for a single, consistent view of the end-to-end project
delivery. For Capgemini, Business innovation initiatives is one of strategic priorities
for 2017 as companies seek new ways of strengthening their business operations.
However, as the pessimistic economic outlook forces companies to re-evaluate
priorities and focus on programs that will improve efficiency and save costs, many
continue to face difficulties in implementing project delivery improvement strategies.
Business prioritization remains the main bottleneck, closely followed by limited IT
capabilities. It is clear that with increasing market uncertainty and a higher number of
business priorities, the company is being forced into being more selective in their
investment decisions.
Continued volatility in Europe is severely impacting strategies everywhere, but it
would appear that lessons have been learned from previous periods of political and
economic uncertainty as Capgemini is better prepared for the challenges in the time
to come and have implemented a number of measures to improve visibility, flexibility
and control within their business units. However, it is vital that senior executives and
company management have a shared understanding in order to establish a truly
successful IT firm and maintain competitive advantage.
