Microsoft Ignite 2024 Reflections & What’s Next

Industry, meet impact.
November 18-21, 2024 | Chicago and Online

Welcome to where different wins

As one of Microsoft’s longest and largest partners, Capgemini was a proud sponsor of the Executive Connections at Microsoft Ignite 2024.

The conference gathered leaders to chart the course of their organization in the era of AI. This webpage summarizes just some of the insights and solutions shared for you to explore or rediscover.

Together, Microsoft and Capgemini are accelerating the pace and impact of migration and transformation projects. At Ignite, we demonstrated how we bring a different path to enterprise generative AI, a different mindset, and a different skill set to your business needs.

If you want to make an impact within your industry and business, you need partners who help you to deliver rapidly but also think differently. It might sound like an impossible task, but it doesn’t need to be.

Our mission is to empower you to stop imitating and start differentiating. Because ultimately different wins.
