Global systems integrator Capgemini has announced it plans to acquire Perth-headquartered Empired for $233 million.
The deal is Capgemini’s third in the past 12 months, after SAP partner Acclimation in June and RXP Services in November 2020.
Capgemini said the acquisition would strengthen its capabilities in cloud and data across the region, and create what it claims to be the largest accredited Microsoft Dynamics team in ANZ. Empired would also bolster its client portfolio across key industries, notably in mining, utilities and government.
“The acquisition of Empired is further evidence of Capgemini’s confidence in the local market and ambition to be a leader in digital, data and cloud in Australia and in New Zealand,” Capgemini ANZ managing director Kaylene O’Brien said.
