Capgemini and SAP Partner Up for Digital Transformation
Global technology consulting/outsourcing firm Capgemini, and digital solution provider SAP broadened their strategic partnership with the launch of "Fast Digital 4 Discrete Industries by SAP and Capgemini," a joint initiative to help clients in the discrete manufacturing industries to manage their digital transformation as they seek to maximize the potential of Industry 4.0, the Internet-of-Things and innovative manufacturing techniques.
The initiative intends to address the difficulty makers in the discrete manufacturing world face in growing a competitive advantage by deploying the latest digital technologies such as real-time tracking, 3D modeling and visualization, the Internet-of-Things or connected objects on a large scale. The combination of SAP's suite of digital solutions with Capgemini's global experience in consulting, insights and data, cloud and digital manufacturing aims to address the challenges.
Capgemini will also utilize an agile model for business transformation based on its Digital Transformation Framework specifically tailored for the manufacturing industry and spanning the exploration, design and development of specific solutions to enable new business models and scenarios.
As part of the initiative, the solution suite to support this model includes SAP S/4HANA as the digital core, with SAP Hybris solutions and SAP HANA Cloud Platform, providing data in real-time across both the front-end and back-end applications. Capgemini and SAP plan to co-innovate and invest jointly in order to develop new applications and extensions on SAP HANA Cloud Platform, as well as engage with an ecosystem of start-ups and vendors in the manufacturing space to provide clients with end-to-end solutions.
The joint strategy also intends to help manufacturers create smart, connected products, assets and operations that offer the potential for time-to-market reduction, productivity gains, cost savings, new revenue streams and new business models.
