/ Next is now
- The next frontier of engineering belongs to companies that can bring the physical and digital worlds together, transforming the potential for innovation. With expertise in both engineering and digital, Capgemini is the partner of choice to usher clients into this new world.
As new technology continues to redefine what’s possible in engineering, there are four core areas where the confluence of physical and digital is creating the greatest opportunities.
The first is the acceleration of value- where the integration of digital tools into physical engineering creates a chance to reshape the entire product development process, accelerating development cycles, enhancing quality assurance, and developing intelligent solutions that are smarter and more responsive to evolving client needs.
The second is the opportunity to maintain quality but reduce costs through core upgrades. That is not about wholesale transformation-it’s about increasing the efficiency of existing processes, with the confluence of physical and digital opening new areas for productivity and cost reduction.
The third area is agile engineering, with responsive, adaptive, and cost-efficient engineering organizations and talent pools that enable companies to thrive in a rapidly changing world, staying on track while adapting, but never slowing down or stopping.
Finally, the reconciliation of business and planet, with companies bracing for major shifts towards new sustainable products, while at the same time transforming their operations in preparation. This has shaken up the status quo, as new leaders are emerging, and fringe players are playing a larger part.
There are exciting new opportunities for innovation and growth in all these areas, so Capgemini partners with clients to find their most effective and relevant applications to enhance engineering efficiency and productivity.
