Over the years, Capgemini and Unity have delivered together
numerous value-creating projects for major global companies such as
building an interactive application for a major consumer goods
company that allows sales teams to visualize shelf space layouts in
3D, or developing an immersive simulator for a fire fighting
vehicle manufacturer to train its operators.
Building on these assignments, the two companies will now
jointly define and execute sector-specific solutions and
professional services to deliver tailored platforms for each
client. As part of this new multi-year global partnership alliance,
they will:
- define approaches and methodologies, and conduct joint R&D
projects as part of the Capgemini Metaverse Lab, jointly
contributing to the building of the future metaverse/Web3;
- support each other in terms of business development, solution
development and sales initiatives, leveraging expertise and market
insights from both organizations;
- scale up a global bench of talent certified on Unity’s RT3D
technology, through joint recruitment and training initiatives, in
order to grow the global talent pool in these fields.
This new global alliance partnership will focus on sectors and
use cases where the digital customer or employee experiences will
benefit most: consumer goods & retail, manufacturing, life
sciences, telecommunications, media & technology, energy &
utilities, financial services, and public services.
“Metaverse and immersive experiences open a whole universe of
possibilities for our clients across industries, from enabling more
emotional connections with consumers, and reinventing employee
experience and collaboration, to optimizing engineering,
manufacturing and operations using digital twins,” said Pascal
Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini and member of the
Group Executive Committee. “Shaping sector-specific use cases and
developing them at scale will require expert technical and
operational capabilities. We are thrilled to partner with Unity,
one of the major engines of the metaverse, to enable our clients to
realize its real business value.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Capgemini to accelerate the
adoption of real time 3d technologies across a number of
industries” said Marc Whitten, SVP and General Manager, Unity
Create Solutions. “Unity’s real time 3D solutions will bring many
new companies into the next generation of the internet, or
Metaverse, helping them achieve greater engagement with their
customers.”
Unity, a global leader in real-time 3D and immersive
experiences, will enhance Capgemini’s capabilities from customer
and employee experience (CX/EX) strategy and design to front-end
development and integration. With its global footprint, its deep
industry expertise and understanding of client needs, as well as
its ability to deliver on large-scale digital transformation
projects, Capgemini will help to accelerate the growth of Unity’s
technology platform. Capgemini will also share market trends and
client insights which will enable Unity to further enhance its
product roadmap. Joint client projects will benefit from
Capgemini’s holistic capabilities in shaping business models and
strategies, as well as its technology expertise in components that
will be instrumental to roll-out and scale the future
metaverse/decentralized Web3. These include AR, VR and MR1,
blockchain and NFTs, 5G/6G, AI, internet of things and
cybersecurity.
