Capgemini has signed an agreement to acquire Cloud4C, a
leading provider of automation-driven managed services for hybrid and sovereign
cloud environments. Cloud4C helps enterprises migrate, manage and optimize
their technology and data leveraging its low-code, AI-ready platform and
vertical specific frameworks, designed for the specific needs of businesses and

This acquisition will expand Capgemini's footprint in the

expertise to Cloud4C's clients.
Furthermore, this transaction will accelerate Capgemini's SAP
leadership notably in end-to-end SAP services, through the combination of
