Strategic alignment with UiPath to drive tangible business outcomes

The strength of the Capgemini and UiPath partnership is powerfully demonstrated through the former’s world-leading ‘Business Operations’ services portfolio. Together they help deliver business value that goes beyond automating repetitive tasks. Through standardizing and optimizing processes, their integrated RPA solutions help businesses boost productivity, customer experience and employee satisfaction while improving efficiencies and reducing operational costs.

The integrated solutions have helped deliver on these tangible business outcomes across multiple industries and services. This includes operations involving large transaction volumes with multiple data sources, without compromising the clients’ data or applications.

The result is a compelling value proposition. For operations and functions where there are tremendous opportunities to raise operating margins and improve customer service level agreements, this value is further maximized.

Capgemini leverages the UiPath Academy training program to bring best in class and up-to-date skills and expertise to its clients while also raising the industry benchmark for quality. 

Driving Intelligent Automation at scale

To leverage the full potential of intelligent automation, Capgemini’s approach encompasses an end-to-end perspective – from ideation to production – with the customer at the center. The company has been a pioneer in building Center of Excellence (CoE) that brings together best practices with an enterprise grade infrastructure. This helps support delivery of an end-to-end solution in an industrialized way.

To support the growth from limited deployments and proofs of concept to intelligent automation at scale, Capgemini leverages Capgemini Intelligent Automation Platform (CIAP). A purpose-built, plug and play platform, CIAP supports Capgemini’s holistic AI service portfolio, Perform AI and enables effective IT, applications services and business operations delivery.

Instead of looking at isolated automation deployments that deliver limited value, CIAP adopts an enterprise wide, automation-first approach, for integrated end-to-end service management. This helps accelerate the automation journey for the clients and leverage intelligent automation across the entire business operations at scale, in the process maximizing business value.

UiPath is a key component of our platform offering. It is a robust, flexible, and proven technology that strengthens our ability to deliver our services from a client or multi-tenant environment and even within a virtual network, meaning we can offer highly adaptable platform environments to our clients.

Building on a robust foundation of technical collaboration that started in 2015, Capgemini and UiPath have worked hard to define and deliver an automation platform that meets the needs of today’s enterprises. However, there is much more for us to achieve together as we head into the cognitive era – an era that is not only redefining business, but what businesses need from a joint Capgemini and UiPath intelligent automation platform.
