Perth-based systems integrator Empired has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Capgemini for A$1.35 per share, coming to a total of A$233 million.
While headquartered in Western Australia, Empired has a substantial presence up and down the country s east coast and in New Zealand, where it claims offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, thanks to local player Intergen, which it acquired in 2014.
