Key Findings & Highlights

Capgemini's vision is to ""catalyze trust in your business ecosystem"" using its blockchain services. It approaches blockchain from a commercial business consulting angle to offer an ""ecosystem-as-a service"" instead of marketing and selling distributed ledger technology (DLT) as a standalone technology solution.

Capgemini’s current capabilities focuses on five cross-industry topics: (1) identity & compliance, (2) track & trace, (3) payment & financing, (4) IP exchange & monetization, and (5) tokens & digital assets. Exhibit 1 summarizes use cases across the five topics.

In 2021, Capgemini sees increased potential for blockchain uptake in financial services triggered primarily by three areas: (1) digital currency and assets, (2) trade finance, and (3) cross-border payments.

It has developed two accelerators that cover the first three topics, where it is currently seeing the most engagement, Trusted Data Exchange and Trusted Logistics.

Capgemini uses a distributed delivery model to drive its blockchain services, where experts are situated across its business units, service lines, and centers of excellence (CoEs). The company has multiple CoEs where blockchain capabilities reside, and these CoEs are driven by geography and business units with an industry-focus. For example, its 2019 acquisition of Altran has added blockchain capability for engineering services to the group.

Capgemini primarily targets enterprises based on client needs. The company sells its blockchain solutions through its commercial business consulting rather than from a standalone technology solution angle. Therefore, it has primarily targeted existing clients where it already understands their needs.
