Our new strategic collaboration brings together Capgemini’s deep expertise in cloud, data, engineering, and digital transformation with UDC’s specialism in enterprise geographic information system (GIS), data quality, and utility and infrastructure networks.

Together, we will empower UK and global organisations to harness spatial data through modern Network Information Management Systems for smarter decision-making, operational efficiency, and sustainability.

GIS is critical to navigating today’s complex network challenges

A Network Information Management System is a system of record for modelling, visualising and managing a utility’s entire network. Powered by geospatial data, a modern system unlocks real-time spatial analytics and advanced modelling that empower utilities and network providers to:

  • Break down data silos by connecting GIS with enterprise systems using location data.
  • Improve operational efficiency through real-time insights and accurate, real-world modelling of network components – supporting advanced tracing and both 2D and 3D views of infrastructure.
  • Enhance customer service with intuitive network views and faster response to outages.
  • Support sustainability and resilience through better planning, preventative maintenance, and risk analysis.

The Capgemini and UDC partnership

This new collaboration with UDC, an Esri Platinum Partner, marks a significant step forward in delivering cutting-edge, advanced enterprise GIS and geospatial solutions to public and private sector clients across the UK and beyond.

Alongside delivery, together we’re committed to preparing client organisations for the transformation required to successfully implement and adopt these technologies. By combining Capgemini’s expertise in digital transformation with UDC’s deep knowledge of GIS and infrastructure networks, we will guide clients through the organisational change, skills development, and process optimisation necessary to unlock the full value of spatial data and modern network information management systems. This approach ensures that technology adoption is not just a technical upgrade, but a holistic transformation that empowers teams, streamlines operations, and supports long-term sustainability.

The collaboration will kick off with joint pursuits in both the energy transition & utilities and travel & transport sectors, with plans to expand into other sectors later in 2026.

“This agreement with UDC strengthens our ability to deliver spatially intelligent solutions that drive innovation and sustainability across the UK,” said Martin Crawford, Global Client Partner, UK Water Sector, at Capgemini. “Together, we’ll unlock new opportunities for our clients to thrive in a data/location-driven world.”

Hamid Akhavan, CEO at UDC, added: “Collaborating with Capgemini is a mutually beneficial approach that allows UDC to scale our GIS solution and our collective team to deliver transformative outcomes for clients in the UK, navigating complex spatial challenges.“
