Capgemini's two TacticalVC cases document parallel investment tracks toward the same competitive position. The talent case shows the organic path: 300,000 cloud certifications driving 21% revenue growth to €22B — Capgemini's fastest organic growth on record, achieved through workforce reskilling rather than acquisition. The Altran acquisition case shows the inorganic complement: €3.6B for engineering services clients in automotive and aerospace, achieving €80M in cost synergies a year ahead of schedule. Together they document a firm positioning at the convergence of industrial engineering and cloud — a market position neither pure-play IT firms nor pure-play engineering firms can occupy.
Capgemini grew revenue 21% to €22B in FY2022 by investing in cloud and AI, recording its fastest organic growth ever.
