“ Working in close collaboration with our clients , Capgemini Invent applies a spirit of innovation to bring to life ‘ what ’ s next ’; orchestrating meaningful change across every facet of their business in an agile way to drive continuous growth ”
— Cyril Garcia , CEO , Capgemini Invent
We aim to bring value with our mobility platform . For example , we have designed the principle and the architecture to implement a virtual key for the car rental business . We deliver a recommendation , an architecture , a prototype or an MVP , and are able to provide a convincing base for the client to scale it and then switch to phase two as a partner .”
However , as highlighted by a recent Capgemini Research Institute report (‘ Augmented and Virtual Reality in Operations : A Guide For Investment ’), the skills gap is an issue . It found that 82 % of companies currently implementing AR / VR say the benefits are either meeting or exceeding their expectations . But a shortage of in-house expertise and insufficient back-end infrastructures were proving significant barriers to growth .
Garcia admits where the industry is at today can be hit and miss , but argues Capgemini can prove feasibility . “ For example , a client might ask us to help them build a bank in a year — this is end – to – end transformation . We achieved this with Orange Bank by offering a strong connection between all of the key elements : consulting , technology , architecture and design .”
