Capgemini SE is a French multinational information technology (IT) services and consulting company, headquartered in Paris, France.

[6] Cap Gemini Sogeti launched US operations in 1981, following the acquisition of Milwaukee-based DASD Corporation, specializing in data conversion and employing 500 people in 20 branches throughout the US.

[7] In 1990 Cap Gemini Sogeti acquired the Hoskyns Group, a major IT outsourcing and managed services company in the UK.

In June 2021, Capgemini partnered with Sanofi, Orange & Generali to launch Future4care, a European start-up accelerator focused on digital healthcare.

Subsequently, a French Senate Committee of Inquiry investigated the growing influence of private consulting firms on public policy.

The service subsequently contracted Capgemini to reorganize its digital tools, with the aim of setting up a system to automate mail reading to produce reports.

"It is not up to us to have an opinion on who, within the client organization, triggers this type of service", replied Mathieu Dougados, executive director, and he suggested the commission ask the Élysée.

He was a former classmate of Emmanuel Macron (French president at the time of the scandal), and former chief of cabinet of a government minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.

[35] Etienne Grass commented: "In principle, our employees are not intended to be recruited", and for good reason: "when it happens, it puts us in a complex situation", he admitted.

However, the firm makes an exception vis-à-vis the State, by not applying certain contractual clauses which prevent an employee from joining a client, "provided that an ethical framework has been fixed", the director underlined.

The name of Etienne Grass, head of the "public sector" market unit of Capgemini Invent since 2017, was mentioned.
