Microsoft Custom Development

Faced with new regulation, competing products, organizational changes and new sales channels, businesses must adapt their business processes. Packaged applications cannot always satisfy these needs. Capgemini’s Microsoft-centric custom development applications deliver low-cost ways to create reliable, secure, agile and quick interoperable business applications.

Leveraging In-Depth Knowledge in Application Development

Capgemini has more than 40 years of expertise building, managing and retiring redundant applications. We draw on our business insights, tools and solutions to help companies create effective and efficient applications that give them a sustained, competitive advantage.

Our 5-year partnership with Microsoft guarantees the use of established methodologies to ensure quality. Configuration management and integrity is maintained according to mission-critical policies, leading to less errors and unplanned downtime.

Cutting Costs to Realize Your Potential

Customs applications are critical to your ability to maintain competitive advantage. Capgemini offers the full spectrum of user-centric Microsoft development tools to help you:

  • Deploy solutions through familiar environments such as Microsoft Office and SharePoint to promote faster application adoption and less user training
  • Empower your users to create their own light applications using tools they already know, thus saving time on requests for IT department sources (e.g., SharePoint 2010 self-service apps)
  • Take advantage of next generation web experiences by targeting the Silverlight environment, all based on the .NET Framework

Our Custom Development Solutions also target applications that:

  • Optimize your application landscape and lifecycle such as the Microsoft-centric approach to the Wide-Angle Application Rationalization Program (WARP 1)
  • Enable mission critical performance that reduces errors and unplanned downtime using Microsoft’s tools and ALM solution
