Capgemini has announced that it has been selected by Office Depot to drive a critical technology migration in finance and accounting services following its recent merger with OfficeMax.
The role of Capgemini - one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services - will be varied and have several branches. It will help Office Depot to standardise and optimise global finance and accounting operations, extending its business process outsourcing (BPO) services until 2020.
Capgemini will also provide new services for application development and maintenance to 2017, as well as testing until the end of this year, which will include the implementation of a Testing Center of Excellence to enhance Office Depot's application testing function.
The leading global provider of office products, services and solutions has been working with Capgemini since 2011 to streamline end-to-end finance processes and is now expanding its offerings due to the recent merger.
Kim Moehler, senior vice-president of Office Depot, said that firm has been a longstanding and trusted business partner, providing a strategic approach to restructuring financial management services.
She added: "The sheer velocity of change and reorganisation at our company required a partner that would work as a core component of our team.
"Capgemini has successfully implanted its consultative business process outsourcing expertise across the finance organisation, which has brought us heightened benefits."
Christopher Stancombe, chief executive of BPO and member of the group executive committee at Capgemini, said that his firm is delighted to extend its partnership and programme with Office Depot, becoming an integral business partner in its global restructuring project.
He added that his company will continue to focus on enhancing Office Depot's productivity and accelerating value realisation by providing next-generation business and IT solutions that will reduce costs and improve performance across its operations.
