Capgemini to Acquire Unity Software Arm with Focus on Accelerating 3D Technology
By Denny Jacob
Capgemini will acquire Unity Software's digital twin professional services arm in an expansion of the companies' strategic alliance.
Terms of the deal, expected to close in the second quarter, weren't disclosed.
The French consulting and technology group said Unity's arm will join and embed within Capgemini, which it adds will accelerate the iteration and implementation of real-time 3D visualization software for the industrial application of digital twins. Unity operates a platform for developing videogames and other software applications.
Capgemini said it plans to scale a range of sector-specific solutions as part of the agreement. Tailored offerings for sectors ranging from automotive to consumer products and retails include training experiences in interactive 3D or augmented or virtual reality, among others.
