The complexities involved with solving today’s business problems have changed over the past 10 years – and more so in the recent months. What hasn’t changed is the impact that the right people and technologies can have on solving those problems.
In 2009, SAS and Capgemini formed an Alliance to meet a market need. Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing services, and SAS, the leader in advanced analytics came together to help organizations make better, faster decisions.
The Results - industries around the globe have benefitted from our partnership:
- French Retailer - needed help to drive a leaner, more data-driven, customer-centric organization. Resulted in a single analytics platform that increases forecast accuracy, accelerated digital transformation and imbedding machine learning to all key processes.
- UK Government Department – reduced fraud through automation, increased efficiency and centralization.
- European Bank – implemented a credit risk management process across three regional savings banks. Resulted in improved risk scores for customers and increased accuracy in risk analytics.
- Insurer – deployed technology to better position the company to meet the requirements and challenges of GDPR. Resulted in improved collaboration and cross-department decision making built on an analytics platform that scales.

SAS and Capgemini look at the market and identify where we, together, can make an impact. Our view spans the globe and crosses industries. We are diligent in training and investing and communicating with one another to remain focused on helping our customers. This infographic highlights our alliance.
We openly discuss market trends and address the difficult issues of the day. Here’s an example – SAS produced a webinar hosted by ACFE (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners) with experts from SAS and Capgemini and Intel. We discussed the challenges of staying ahead of fraudsters and shared best practices for integrating technology into your organization’s fraud management strategies (the on-demand version is available here).
The Future
We are continuing to evolve and deepen our alliance results as part of a better understanding of the market and our ability to solve customer’s problems. This requires coordination and focus.
There are multiple touch points where Capgemini engages with clients and guides premier brands across multiple sectors in helping them achieve their digital transformation ambitions. Capgemini takes an industry-led approach to deliver high-impact business outcomes spanning Consulting, Application Services, Business Process Services, Data Insights and Cloud. These touch points provide a powerful vehicle to transform clients. The key for our partnership’s growth and execution over the next decade will be to align and encapsulate SAS IP and product solutions with Capgemini’s industry domain expertise via the client touch points mentioned above. We are no longer in a market that buys discrete products, but rather industry transformation business solutions that include discrete capabilities that deliver outcomes. This market change raises the strategic relevance of our partnership and expands the addressable revenue opportunity while at the same time presents an even greater opportunity to deliver value at scale for our customers.
Looking forward, other changes will include our expanded geographical focus beyond our historical success EMEA to include US and India. Our industry focus will expand beyond financial services and public sector as our revenue baseline will include retail and consumer products along with manufacturing.
Business challenges will continue to grow in complexity and importance. SAS and Capgemini are ready to assist our clients and help them thrive.
