Capgemini was awarded the IT Outsourcing Project of the Year award during the inaugural European Outsourcing Association (EOA) Awards.

The recognition was based on Capgemini’s work with the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) which is part of the Welsh Assembly Government.

The award highlighted how the Capgemini focus at WEFO is primarily on collaborative working to maximise WEFO business performance for the Welsh economy.

The WEFO Programme and Project Information Management System (PPIMS ) / WEFO Online system, an IT application designed, built and managed by Capgemini UK allows for the £3.9bn to be processed and paid out as structural funding in Wales.

The efficiency of PPIMS/ WEFO Online is critical to the stabilisation and growth of the Welsh economy and the overall reputation of the Welsh Assembly Government.

The WEFO project was notable for achieving success in improved customer services, efficiency savings and compatible for EU audit requirements.
