Featured Success Story

NATO

Capgemini leverages its Integrated Architecture Framework to streamline a best practice approach.

As the size and impact of an intiative gets larger, so does project risk. This is a very real concern for companies who embark on major initiatives, and Capgemini recognizes this concern.  We understand that project risk can take on many different forms, such as:

  • Technical risks
  • Financial risks
  • Personal or professional risk exposure
  • Performance risk on the part of a service provider or sub-contractor
  • Schedule or timing-related risks

Capgemini’s collaborative approach includes anticipating these risk factors and fostering a high level of predictability, both of which lower the chances of project delays or failure.  Our On-Time and Above Client Expectations (OTACE) program ensures the high quality of service and attention that our clients have come to expect when they work with us. We don’t expect our clients to absorb all the risk—Capgemini realizes that our client’s projects are OUR projects too, and we accept joint accountability for success.

Together we can make today’s risk tomorrow’s success.

“A recent European telecommunications joint project highlighted the importance of risk mitigation. The customer expected Cisco to design and deploy a nationwide network within a two month period; a network that utilized Cisco’s Wireless LAN technology and the voucher management system from Capgemini’s TME division. The project not only had a very short lead-time for a very broad range of installations and design, but also had a very complex demographic market with consumer and enterprise users in the residential, hospitality and public access spaces. Our teams collaborated in developing a risk mitigation plan in effect that not only addressed the tightness of the time schedule, but also the disparate environments that the solution was going to be deployed in.”
