Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, through its Financial Services global business unit, and MUREX, leader in the global market for software development in front, middle, back-office and capital markets risk management, have signed a global partnership. This responds to a sharply increasing demand from financial institutions for the industrialisation and package development of their IT systems.

This global agreement positions Capgemini as a reference integrator in financial package services. It provides a significant enhancement of the technical and functional skills for Capgemini consultants, in the Murex package suite. An intensive academic and practical training program lasting several weeks, and focusing particularly on back-office, reporting and data migration, has already been launched.

“Capgemini employs over 3,000 professionals specifically dedicated to financial markets. This new partnership with Murex, a player internationally recognised for the quality of its platform and its expertise, demonstrates our willingness to accelerate our growth in this segment. It will enable us to better respond to the increasing demand from our clients for package integration projects, which are an integral part of their pursuit of greater efficiency, cost reduction, and a greater ability to develop their business,” says Aiman Ezzat, Head of Capgemini’s Financial Services global business unit.
