Bangalore: The Paris based IT consulting and services firm Capgemini
will set up a centre of excellence for its Business Information
Management unit (BIM). The centre will employ 1,000 specialists.
BIM is a set of services that enable enterprises to manage information.
The group plans to hire or redeploy an additional 3,000 BIM
consultants, which will take the total number of BIM consultants to
over 7,000 across centres globally.
This is the first in a series of global strategic portfolio
announcements planned over the next two quarters, to mobilize all the
group's disciplines, supported by a strong sales push.
"We are seeing huge demand for these services and are mobilising our
global infrastructure to meet them. To cater to the specific needs of
key markets, we also offer sector-specific solutions for clients in
banking and insurance, life sciences, energy & utilities, retail
and consumer product, and telecoms sector," said Paul Nannetti, General
Manager, BIM Service Line, Capgemini.
BIM is an important factor for businesses in the current economic
climate. A report by AMR Research said companies would spend $59.3
billion on core business intelligence and performance management
activities in 2010.
