Capgemini completes acquisition of Empired

Capgemini’s acquisition of Empired Limited has been completed, following the initial announcement in July this year. This positions the company as a digital, data and cloud market leader in the region, with extensive capability across the entire Microsoft technology product suite.

Empired brings an additional 1100 consultants to the organisation across ANZ and reinforces Capgemini’s global Microsoft partnership. In addition, the acquisition enables provision of end-to-end services to clients across Western Australia and New Zealand, where Empired has a significant presence.

“It was clear that by bringing together our two organisations we could have more impact as a strategic partner helping our clients innovate and compete in an increasingly digital world. Even more exciting is what this means for all our people — with growth comes scale and more opportunities for our people to learn and get the future they want with us. Given our similar cultures and unwavering commitment to helping our people and clients excel, this is a significant milestone in the evolution of both organisations,” said Kaylene O’Brien, Managing Director for Capgemini in Australia and New Zealand.

This acquisition is Capgemini’s fourth in the region over the past 18 months and supports its vision to achieve a leadership position in the Australian market across digital, data and cloud — while partnering with clients to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions.
