Capgemini has taken another major step in enhancing its digital transformation services by acquiring Syniti, a global leader in enterprise data management, particularly in SAP data migrations. This move aims to bolster Capgemini’s capabilities in supporting complex data transformation projects for clients transitioning to SAP S/4HANA and other SAP solutions.
Syniti has been a key player in data-driven digital transformation for over 15 years. With more than 1,200 experts worldwide, the company specializes in managing intricate data migration, quality, and governance tasks for large corporations. Its solutions have proven vital for sectors such as life sciences, aerospace, manufacturing, retail, and automotive. These industries often face significant data challenges when undergoing critical transitions like mergers, ERP migrations, cloud migrations, or regulatory compliance shifts. Syniti’s expertise in these areas has made it a trusted partner for large-scale SAP data migrations, particularly for companies moving to SAP S/4HANA.
At the heart of Syniti’s offerings is the Syniti Knowledge Platform, a cloud-based solution designed to simplify enterprise data management. This platform enables organizations to eliminate traditional data silos, allowing various stakeholders to collaborate effectively. Notably, the platform has been an SAP Endorsed App for nearly a decade, marketed under the name SAP Advanced Data Migration & Management by Syniti. The acquisition of Syniti by Capgemini means that organizations looking to implement or enhance their SAP solutions will now have access to even more robust, integrated data transformation tools to ensure a solid foundation for their business processes.
Capgemini’s acquisition of Syniti highlights its continued focus on providing clients with comprehensive data-driven digital transformation services. With Syniti’s deep expertise in SAP data migrations, Capgemini is well-positioned to meet the growing demand from organizations seeking seamless transitions to SAP’s next-generation solutions, such as SAP S/4HANA.
SAP Data Migrations as a Core Focus of the Acquisition
The importance of data in digital transformation cannot be overstated, especially as businesses increasingly rely on advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to extract value from their operations. Both Capgemini and Syniti recognize that successful digital transformations begin with robust data migrations. For clients migrating to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring that their data is accurate, reliable, and easily accessible is crucial for maintaining efficient and effective business processes.
According to Capgemini’s CEO, Aiman Ezzat, establishing a solid data foundation is essential for organizations seeking to unlock insights from their enterprise data. Ezzat emphasizes that companies aiming to leverage AI or other advanced technologies must first undergo comprehensive data transformation. He believes that Syniti’s strong track record in SAP data migrations and its collaborative approach to data management will enhance Capgemini’s ability to deliver data-driven solutions that meet client needs.
Syniti’s CEO, Kevin Campbell, shares a similar sentiment, noting that complex data transformations require a combination of technical, business, and industry-specific knowledge. Syniti’s integration into Capgemini will enhance the group’s ability to bring data to the forefront of digital transformation projects. Both companies are committed to delivering innovative solutions that allow businesses to maximize the potential of their data, ensuring successful SAP migrations and long-term operational efficiency.
Capgemini’s Strategic Investment in the SAP Ecosystem
Capgemini’s decision to acquire Syniti is in line with its broader strategy of expanding its digital core transformation services. By adding Syniti’s capabilities to its portfolio, Capgemini strengthens its ability to support clients undergoing SAP data migrations and ERP transitions. The acquisition will provide Capgemini with the tools needed to ensure that its clients’ data is properly migrated, governed, and utilized as they transition to SAP S/4HANA and other SAP solutions.
Capgemini has long been recognized for its expertise in data and AI services, making it a strong fit for Syniti’s data-first approach. The combination of Capgemini’s industry knowledge and Syniti’s data management platform will empower more organizations to succeed in their digital transformation efforts, placing data at the center of their operations.
As businesses continue to embrace digital transformation and move toward more data-centric operations, the demand for seamless, secure, and effective SAP data migrations will only increase. Capgemini’s acquisition of Syniti positions the group to meet this demand, providing clients with the expertise, tools, and support they need to achieve their digital goals.
