Capgemini Puts U.S. Immigration Tracking Unit Up for Sale
Technology and consulting giant Capgemini announced it is putting up for sale a unit responsible for tracking immigration procedures in the USA. This move indicates the company is reviewing its portfolio and aligning with its artificial intelligence-focused transformation strategy.
Capgemini, one of the leading companies in the technology and consulting sector, is making a significant change to its business portfolio. The company announced it is putting up for sale a unit that manages the tracking of immigration applications and processes for the US federal government.
Strategic Portfolio Review
The unit subject to sale had specialized particularly in the digitization and management of immigration processes in the US. This decision by Capgemini is interpreted as a sign that the company is reviewing its portfolio to focus more on its core competencies and future strategy. Recently, the company has shown a tendency to increase its investments in areas like artificial intelligence and cloud computing, areas also being accelerated by global tech giants.
Buyer and Sales Process
It is stated that the sales process is already underway and discussions with potential buyers are ongoing. An official announcement regarding the sale price of the relevant unit and the definitive buyer has not yet been made. Analysts indicate that such public service-focused technology units could attract interest from private equity funds or other specialized firms in the sector.
Sectoral Implications and Future Strategy
Capgemini's move is considered part of a broader industry trend where technology consulting firms are evolving from traditional IT services towards higher value-added digital transformation and artificial intelligence solutions. The company aims to shift its resources to areas with high growth potential like AI, data analytics, and cybersecurity. This strategic focus appears aligned with the general industry movement towards supporting the developer ecosystem and innovative technologies, as also emphasized by the Nvidia CEO.
The impact of the sale on the status of personnel working in the relevant unit and on ongoing contracts is not clear at this time. Capgemini has committed that the process will be carried out smoothly without causing any disruption to customer services.
