Capgemini’s performance in the study and HFS’ views of its strengths and development opportunities for customer experience services capabilities

A composite graphic combining a Horizon placement graphic on the left with a text panel on the right. Left: a simplified version of the three tier beach themed Horizons diagram, reused from Exhibit 1 with the company name lists removed. The image keeps the same sky, ocean, and sand bands, sky at top for Horizon 3, ocean in the middle for Horizon 2, and sand at the bottom for Horizon 1. The Horizon 3 label, "Horizon 3, ecosystem synergy and new value creation," is set inside a bordered, colored box at the top of the sky band, with the Capgemini logo placed directly beneath it in that same sky area. The Horizon 2 label, "Horizon 2, end to end experience transformation," and the Horizon 1 label, "Horizon 1, functional transformation," appear in plain gray text with no border, over the ocean and sand bands respectively, showing that Horizon 3 is Capgemini's assessed position while the other two horizons are deemphasized. Right: a Strengths section lists five points. Capgemini's Intelligent Business Operations (IBO) business unit, combining WNS with Capgemini Business Services: Capgemini combines WNS's deep verticalized CX operations and transformation delivery expertise with its own strengths in CCaaS, Salesforce, Genesys, Snowflake, hyperscaler relationships, and agentic engineering capabilities. Combination of operational domain depth and native stack ownership: WNS knows CX and Capgemini knows tech, giving the combined entity a stronger right to play in complex transformation programs, and Capgemini's ability to combine WNS's industry specific process knowledge with its own system integrator muscle across Salesforce, Genesys, Snowflake, cloud, and hyperscaler ecosystems is another differentiator. Technology innovation: EXPiRiUS organizes transformation across customer journey intelligence, engagement, agent experience, and analytics and automation, while RAISE adds the trust layer needed to build, govern, monitor, and scale AI agents responsibly. Outcomes: for a global consumer goods company, Capgemini consolidated delivery into a single strategic partner and stood up a touchless model on Salesforce, cutting total operations cost by 50% and voice demand by roughly 30% against a committed 63% productivity gain; for a Big 6 UK energy provider, a multi LOB transformation spanning service, collections, and back office delivered a 3x reduction in cost of operations and a 2 to 2.5x improvement in NPS. Client and partner reference kudos: clients commend its strong delivery, breadth of service, and the quality of relationships and people. A Development opportunities section lists three points. What we'd like to see more of: Capgemini should sharpen the market facing narrative on how its combined WNS and Capgemini proposition delivers native stack modernization, agentic operations, unified journey orchestration, and revenue growth from service. Next steps: productizing its IP into Services-as-Software™ offerings with consumption or outcome based pricing would decouple revenue from headcount and make risk sharing more visible to enterprise buyers. Client and partner reference critiques: clients want broader service coverage, clearer demonstration of value for investment, deeper integration of strategy into the core business, and proactive communication.
