Capgemini
strengthens its global leadership in Digital Commerce with latest
acquisition: U.S. eCommerce provider Lyons Consulting Group
Paris, Chicago,
September 20, 2017 - Capgemini, a global
leader in consulting and technology services, announced today the
acquisition of Lyons Consulting Group (LYONSCG), an award-winning
digital and global commerce service provider with deep expertise in
Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois,
LYONSCG accelerates the Group's growth strategy focused on digital,
notably in North America. Along with Capgemini's recent acquisition
of Itelios, a prominent European Salesforce Commerce Cloud
solutions provider, this addition enables Capgemini to meet the
digital customer experience needs of its clients around the world,
and positions the Group as a global leader for Salesforce Commerce
Cloud solutions.
"LYONSCG creates
world-class digital commerce experiences. With their focus on
design and innovation, and their passion for nurturing talent and a
customer-centric approach, they are a perfect fit with
Capgemini," comments John Mullen, Head of Application Services
in North America and member of the Group Executive Committee at
Capgemini. "We are committed to enabling global
brands to deliver seamless, modern and brand-differentiating
customer experiences that turn systems of record into systems of
engagement. The addition of LYONSCG strengthens our digital
capabilities and further equips us to offer clients comprehensive
solutions for unified commerce. LYONSCG brings extensive Salesforce
Commerce Cloud expertise. This, combined with our existing strength
in Salesforce Service Cloud and other Salesforce Clouds, affirms
our position as a leading Salesforce partner for delivering
tangible business results."
Founded in 2003, LYONSCG works
with a number of leading retail and B2B brands such as GoPro,
Titleist/FootJoy, Timex, Charlotte Russe, Vince, and Bayou Steel.
Its capabilities include digital strategy, experience design, and
eCommerce implementation. With more than 300 people across North
America and the UK, LYONSCG is one of the largest independent
digital commerce firms. The company has deep expertise with
Salesforce Commerce Cloud and other commerce platforms. Leading
practice areas also include SAP Hybris and Magento. LYONSCG is the
recipient of numerous awards for outstanding client work, as well
as partner awards for excellence. Most recently, LYONSCG was named
the '2017 Salesforce Commerce Cloud Global Delivery Partner of the
Year' for best-in-class client implementations and levels of
support[1].
"At LYONSCG we
live, eat and breathe commerce. This focus has earned us industry
recognition for creating exceptional digital experiences. Joining
the Capgemini family will enable us to strengthen and expand our
services for clients around the world. In addition, there is a
tremendous opportunity to integrate our capabilities with
Capgemini's holistic approach to digital transformation, and
support the many clients who are on this extensive journey right
now. We are very excited about this next stage in our company and
the many opportunities it presents for both our employees and
clients," comments Rich Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder, LYONSCG.
"Capgemini is a
leading partner of Salesforce and we are thrilled to see them
expand their Salesforce Commerce Cloud expertise with the addition
of LYONSCG," said Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO,
Salesforce.
Adds Paul Hermelin, Chairman and
CEO, Capgemini Group: "After the recent
acquisition of Itelios in Europe, Capgemini continues to invest to
become a prime partner of Salesforce in e-commerce and to keep our
clients at the forefront of their marketplace."
The Capgemini Group is an
established global leader in Digital and Cloud services which
currently represent 35% of revenues[2]. The
addition of LYONSCG will create synergy with Capgemini's emphasis
on delivering business results through comprehensive digital
strategy and solutions. With LYONSCG, Capgemini's leadership
position will be further enhanced, notably in the fields of digital
customer experience and digital commerce for clients' customer
journeys. Building on extensive technology heritage combined with
business consulting and deep industry-specific expertise, Capgemini
is partnering with the world's leading brands to define and deliver
digital ambition, new business models, and agile operations.
