Car manufacturer General Motors (GM) has renewed two contracts with global consulting, technology and outsourcing services provider Capgemini, to provide application outsourcing services for GM’s global sales & marketing and dealer.

The combined value of the five-year agreements is approximately $250m (€190m).

Under the new contracts, Capgemini will provide global application sustain and development services as well as help desk support for GM’s global sales & marketing and dealer systems located in 38 countries, as well as hosting services for test and development servers.

Capgemini started delivering services to GM under the new agreements from July 2010, one year ahead of the end of the previous contract term. The original contracts between GM and Capgemini were effective June 2006.
