On October 22, Capgemini announced its first set of Intelligent Industry offerings proposes to leverage the Group’s capabilities in data, digital and industrial technologies. These new services are aimed to allow Communications Service Providers, Network Equipment Providers and Enterprises across industries to implement 5G and Edge technologies at scale. This means that companies’ products, assets, and processes are able to unlock innovation and efficiencies within their business.

“We believe the future of industry is ‘intelligent’” Franck Greverie, Chief Portfolio Officer at Capgemini
Franck Greverie, Chief Portfolio Officer at Capgemini and Group Executive Board member stated: “We believe the future of industry is ‘intelligent’. 5G is more than just a faster technology, or an iteration of 4G. It’s a new global cellular communications standard, that is bringing a step change in connectivity for the Internet of Things and all industries. As digital technologies converge, every type of organization can start to do business in new and better ways - with intelligent products, intelligent operations, and intelligent support and services. Our 5G and Edge offerings enable our clients to make the right investments in the foundation of their data-driven transformation to prepare to take advantage of this next industrial revolution.”
