The role of the three Board Committees is to review or prepare certain deliberations based on their expertise, to make proposals and to provide the Board with opinions or recommendations concerning the Board's decisions. They have no decision-making power in their own right – as the Board is responsible for all decisions taken – and they must not deal with any matters that do not relate to their specific expertise.

The Four Disciplines

For its clients, both local and international, Capgemini offers a complete range of services organised around the four disciplines:

• Consulting Services
  The mission is to contribute to the business transformation and economic performance improvement of organizations based on in-depth knowledge of their industries and processes.

• Technology Services
  These services call upon the ability and expertise to design and integrate technological solutions, exploit innovation, and transform the technical environment. They are closely allied to consulting services in such cases where upgrading and transforming IT systems are directly tied to the clients’ organizational and strategic priorities.

• Outsourcing Services
  This activity involves taking charge of all or part of the management of a client’s IT resources. Capgemini has developed a range of services that call for expertise in IT systems management, business process management and pricing flexibility in order to maximize the cost/performance ratio. Business Process Outsourcing allows clients to outsource major support functions such as accounting or procurement.

• Local Professional Services
  These services - made available in the closest possible proximity to the local technology officers of large organizations - are aimed at supporting the internal capabilities of IT departments by proposing the best experts to exercise their skills in the shortest possible time frames.
