Consultancy firm Capgemini has announced plans to recruit up to 1,000 additional consultants as it switches to a strategy focused on "digital transformation".
The firm has signed a three-year agreement with the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Center for Digital Business to conduct a joint research study into the area.
The research will examine how companies around the world are managing and benefiting from digitisation within business and the processes and best practices involved. It will involve interviews with C-level executives in sectors such as financial services, life sciences, retail and government.
Pierre-Yves Cros, chief executive of Capgemini, said: "The research will be about making better and smarter decisions based on an ever-increasing flow of data, creating open enterprises with strong links to customers and suppliers, encouraging stronger collaboration across often geographically disparate units, as well as managing these new technologies within the existing infrastructure of the corporation."
