A Nokia sale of mobile, especially to the US, would be nuts
Nokia's hiring of Intel's Justin Hotard to be its new CEO has set tongues wagging again about a mobile exit, but it would look counterintuitive and inadvisable.
Capgemini Group launches unique end-to-end solution for mobile strategy and services
March 7, 2012
PARIS -- Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, and subsidiary Sogeti, today announced the joint launch of a comprehensive new suite of services to support clients in creating and implementing an effective mobile strategy. Capgemini and Sogeti, as an Enterprise Mobility Orchestrator will bring together their capabilities in consulting, technology and global delivery with a framework of methodologies and industrialized services to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for mobility solutions to meet the growing demand within businesses globally. As part of this launch, Capgemini and Sogeti are developing a dedicated ‘Mobile Applications Service Centre of Excellence’ in India, where 250 additional experts will support the delivery of state-of-the-art mobile applications for customers globally. The focus markets for these services will include France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, UK and North America. In line with its strategy, the Mobile Solutions global service line is one of the fast growing and profitable market segments the Capgemini Group is focusing on, with the aim to generate over €400 million of additional revenues by 2015.
Mobile technologies were highlighted as the second highest CIO technology priority in Gartner's recent 2012 CIO Agenda survey[2]. Organizations are increasingly recognizing that with mobile users in the hundreds of millions, and mobile apps downloads in the tens of billions, today’s reality is that customers and employees expect to interact with them immediately, wherever they may be. As a result, the market for mobility services is one of the fastest growing segments in the IT services market. According to Forrester Research Inc., the total mobile apps services market could be worth in excess of $17 billion USD by 2015[3].
According to Gartner Inc. “Mobility adoption is expected to grow rapidly in the next few years as companies embrace this new channel to untether its workforce as well as better connect with customers. Companies will rely on services providers to help them with their enterprise mobility initiatives because of internal capability limitation and resource constraint in the face of a new and fast-changing mobility environment.”
