Capgemini Launches Center of Excellence In Support of SAP HANA

Capgemini, the providers of consulting, technology, and outsourcing services, has announced the launch of a competency center - in support of the SAP HANA platform - at its global customer Business Information Management (BIM) Experience, the CUBE, in Mumbai, India. The CUBE is now equipped with state-of-the-art, in-memory computing technology, in cooperation with SAP, to drive high-performing, ‘big data’ analysis, handling huge volumes of data in real time for instant business insight. One of 12 Centers of Excellence in India for information and technological innovation, this new addition expands on Capgemini’s Global BIM Service Line capability, with India as one of the key hubs for innovation.

Capgemini is one of the first systems integrators to launch a dedicated Competency Center for SAP HANA, along with a complete learning and proof-of-concept environment. It is also one of the leading technology service providers to offer BIM solutions that integrate solution data from SAP and other vendors within a predominant SAP solution-based landscape using in-memory computing technology. The center will act as an interactive showcase where customers can experience innovative SAP HANA-based information management solutions. Customers are also able to interact with subject matter experts on-site or through video connections from around the globe, examine solutions created to address specific customer issues, and review proofs of concept and technology innovations, as well as productivity tools.
