Capgemini acquired 100 percent stake in Minneapolis-based BI Consulting Group (BICG), a leading full-service technology consultancy for customers who purchase Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) technologies.

BICG’s offerings include implementation, support, education and software enhancement services. This move, which follows the acquisition of another Business Information Management (BIM) company – Avantias in France-, will reinforce Capgemini’s BIM positioning in North America. The acquisition will be financed by the Capgemini Group’s net cash. The contract was signed last week and the acquisition is expected to be completed shortly.
