Outsourcing agreement between Unilever and Capgemini extended for additional services
Unilever, the multinational consumer goods company, has extended its partnership with Capgemini for another five years. The deal, worth over €100 million, signifies a continued collaboration between the two entities in the global finance and accounting sector.
Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology, and outsourcing services, will provide finance and accounting services to Unilever's global organization from multiple strategic locations around the world, including Chile, Brazil, Guatemala, Singapore, China, and India. The competitive tendering process indicates a commitment to ensuring the best service provider for Unilever's financial needs.
The new delivery center in Bangalore, India, is a significant part of this partnership. Opened earlier this year, the center employs 1,400 heads, with 500 internal staff and 1,100 employees from outsourced partners. Capgemini is helping Unilever with the setup of this global entry point.
The extension of the contract with Capgemini is a strategic move for Unilever's future growth and environmental goals. Unilever aims to double the size of its business while halving its environmental impact. The deal further cements Capgemini's role in helping Unilever achieve these ambitious targets.
Christian Kaufmann, the vice president of financial services at Unilever, spoke about the partnership, saying, "We are delighted to continue our relationship with Capgemini. Their leading-edge financial services will help our business remain competitive."
In 2005, Capgemini first began working with Unilever, and this latest deal marks another step in their long-standing partnership. Unilever recently approved a plan to cut around 500 jobs in the UK, including IT and finance roles. However, the partnership with Capgemini indicates a shift in Unilever's focus towards outsourcing these services to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Capgemini has selected strategic locations but the specific sites chosen to deliver Finance and Accounting services for Unilever's global organization are not provided in the available search results. The deal signifies a commitment to providing Unilever with the highest quality services from multiple strategic locations around the world.
In conclusion, the extension of Unilever's partnership with Capgemini is a significant move for both entities. Capgemini's expertise in finance and accounting services will be instrumental in helping Unilever achieve its ambitious growth and environmental goals. The new delivery center in Bangalore, India, will play a crucial role in this partnership, providing a hub for Capgemini's services to Unilever's global organization.
