In 2001, two major financial institutions in Germany - a bank and an insurance company - merged. As a consequence, IT service provision for each was consolidated to form one of the largest IT service providers for financial services in Europe. In order to gain significant cost reductions and strengthen competitiveness, the complexities of integrating and unifying these two large organizations was enormous. Since 2002, Capgemini is assigned to actively accompany the process of post-merger integration on a strategic and operational level. The companywide process has affected 13 locations in Germany and one branch in Singapore. With specific post-merger synergy goals to achieve, the client and Capgemini launched a comprehensive integration program.
