Capgemini’s Business and Information Strategy (BIS) practice is focused on helping today’s business and IT leaders define the strategy, innovation, operations and governance that will deliver competitive advantage.

Our collaborative approach – a mainstay of Capgemini delivery – enables us to work alongside our clients to define and develop IT-enabled transformation strategies that drive top-line growth, profitability, efficiency and agility.

We collaborate with clients to:

• Define IT strategy, aligned to business imperatives
• Drive competitive advantage through technology
• Transform the IT operating model and delivery capability
• Establish value-driven governance between IT and the business
• Build business-focused regulatory compliance
• Develop world-class business technology leadership
• Realise sustainable benefits through robust business cases
• Shape innovative sourcing strategies that deliver cost effective use of resources.

In response to business pressures from globalisation, competition and regulation, the CIO agenda is increasingly focused on optimised delivery, value-based services and leveraging existing assets. At the same time, business also expects IT to deliver top-line value creation through innovation and flexibility, despite 60% of CIOs believing that their function is actually able to deliver innovation and IT services according to our 2008 CIO Survey.

Leading organisations are learning how to respond successfully to these seemingly contradictory challenges. Capgemini Consulting is playing a part in this by designing cost optimisation plans for the IT function to help deliver value for money and defining new and efficient IT operating models for the 21st century. We’re helping our clients take a more transformational approach, encompassing IT strategy, governance, the IT delivery operating model, and core IT processes across the whole IT value chain.

This approach enables CXOs to deliver lower-cost options such as offshoring, optimised delivery and operating models, and outsourcing. Within this context, organisational effectiveness has to be achieved while demonstrating explicit alignment to business strategy through sophisticated portfolio management. Effectiveness also necessitates world-class programme management and a winning approach to benefits realisation and benefits tracking.

The knowledge and experience of Capgemini Consulting teams ensures that the business and IT transformation programmes we support meet these objectives.
