Capgemini Wins Google Cloud Partner Of The Year For Gen AI

Capgemini and Google Cloud have been collaborating for nearly a decade to leverage technologies and innovative solutions for global reach. On April 9th, 2024, Capgemini secured the triple win in three main categories — the Global Industry Solution Partner of the Year award for Generative AI, as well as two other Google Cloud Partner of the Year awards held in Paris.

In 18 months, Capgemini has accelerated its efforts in the field of Generative AI to solve industry-specific challenges.

What major advancements has Capgemini made in the field of generative AI?

Capgemini invested heavily to leverage the full potential of generative AI and to expand the workforce’s expertise in this field. In 2023, the company created the first-of-its-kind global generative AI Google Cloud Center of Excellence (CoE). This includes working alongside 18 subject matter experts across strategy, data science, and software engineering to cover various aspects of generative AI applications. The company also hosted global hackathons to generate over 500 use cases on Google Cloud generative AI solutions. Deploying generative AI at scale will maximize value for stakeholders and clients across industries.

Capgemini has also delivered tangible results to its clients across sectors using generative AI solutions. The company enabled Auto Club Group (ACG) to improve its efficiency and productivity using Google Clouds. Previously, ACG used its core insurance processing application. However, with the help of generative AI, ACG was able to not only maintain its long-term cost savings but also improve its carbon footprint.
