Capgemini announced a multi-year agreement with BAE Systems, a leading global defence, aerospace and security company, to deliver operational integration across its technology ecosystem.
The engagement marks a significant evolution of the long-standing relationship between the two organisations and will see Capgemini take on a central role in orchestrating technology operations across BAE Systems’ global operations.
The new technology operating model will bring together multiple service providers into a single, integrated operating model. Capgemini will be central to the success of this model partnering with BAE Systems to lead in accelerating the deployment of new technology solutions, enhancing employee productivity and user experience, and driving greater operational efficiency.
This represents a fundamental shift from traditional, siloed service delivery towards a coordinated, industry leading approach designed to improve performance at scale – while also providing a stronger foundation for BAE Systems’ continued international growth and collaboration across major global programmes.
Key benefits of the transformation include:
- Operational integration across BAE Systems’ IT landscape, moving from siloed delivery to a unified model spanning the organisation.
- Enhanced delivery and change management, enabling faster and more consistent deployment of innovative technology solutions.
- Improved user experience and employee productivity, supporting more efficient day-to-day operations at scale.
- Greater confidence to support international growth, enabling BAE Systems to expand and collaborate across global programmes.
As the defence sector continues to evolve in response to a more dynamic and complex global landscape, organisations are placing greater emphasis on speed, agility and innovation. This transformation will enable BAE Systems to better align its technology capabilities with these demands, ensuring it can continue to deliver groundbreaking solutions for its customers.
Mary Haigh, Deputy Chief Information Officer, BAE Systems, said: “We’re taking a significant step in our transformation of the Digital ecosystem to deliver a secure, insight-led digitally enabled working environment to power operational excellence across BAE Systems. Our partners will play a critical role by unlocking greater agility, pace and innovation across our business.”
Rob Walker, Managing Director of Capgemini in the UK, said: “BAE Systems plays a critical role at the heart of the UK’s defence and security landscape, and we are proud to build on our long-standing partnership through this important transformation.
This engagement reflects a shared commitment to modernising how technology is delivered and operated at scale. By bringing together a market leading ecosystem under a single operational framework, we can help BAE Systems accelerate innovation, improve user experience and drive greater efficiency across its business.
Our role alongside BAE is becoming more connected, more outcome-focused, and more ready to support its long-term ambitions and evolving global requirements.”
