Capgemini to acquire Unity’s Digital Twin
Professional Services arm to accelerate enterprises’ digital
transformation through real-time 3D technology
Paris / San Francisco, February 22, 2024
– Capgemini
and Unity
(NYSE: U), the world’s leading platform for creating and
growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced an expansion
of their strategic alliance that will see Capgemini take on Unity’s
Digital Twin Professional Services arm. Per the agreement, Unity’s
Digital Twin Professional Services team will join and embed within
Capgemini, forming one of the largest pools of Unity enterprise
developers in the world. The transaction will accelerate the
iteration and implementation of the market leading real-time 3D
(RT3D) visualization software for the industrial application of
digital twins. It will allow end users to envision, understand, and
interact with physical systems - a key enabler for intelligent
industry. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of
2024.
Unity’s Digital Twin Professional Services team
has worked with many companies over the past five years to develop
real-time 3D solutions to drive business results. As more and more
enterprises seek to combine the physical and digital worlds,
clients are looking for the RT3D software capabilities coupled with
business transformation, design, and engineering expertise to
realize value from the industrial application of digital twins at
scale. Today’s agreement will extend the reach and scale of Unity’s
software through Capgemini, allowing more organizations to further
push the boundaries of this technology through the acceleration,
adoption, and application of RT3D to build and scale immersive
experiences.
“Unity’s real-time 3D technology is the
unequivocal industry standard for visualization across platforms
and devices. As such, it is a key component that will impact the
value-chain of intelligent products - from R&D to
manufacturing, operations, and services,” comments William Rozé,
CEO of Capgemini Engineering and Group Executive Board member.
“This new agreement with Unity will allow Capgemini to embed 3D
visualization software capabilities into our end-to-end business
transformation services, to help clients realize the immediate and
longer-term benefits of intelligent industry.”
“Unity has reached a point in its growth where
the opportunity for us in the enterprise market has outpaced our
ability to scale fast enough to meet client demand,” explains Jim
Whitehurst, CEO, Unity. “With its scale and breadth of services –
from design and engineering to business transformation and data
expertise, Capgemini is well placed to unleash the full potential
of Unity technology for enterprise clients across industries with
specific use cases.”
As part of this agreement Capgemini plans to
scale a range of sector-specific solutions that are currently in
high demand. Particularly relevant for automotive, consumer
products & retail, energy & utilities, aerospace &
defense, healthcare & life sciences, and industrial
products/manufacturing, tailored offerings are expected to
include:
- Simulation: A
digital representation of an asset, facility or product that
