Jumar announces new partnership with Capgemini

SOLIHULL software firm Jumar Solutions has forged closer ties with outsourced services giant Capgemini.

Jumar has announced a UK-wide deal with French owned Capgemini to provide customers with a combination of expertise and tooling to support projects involving transforming, modernising or migrating a customer’s CA Gen system. 

Jumar Solutions is a specialist in the software development tool CA Gen, which has been used since the 1980s to develop and maintain mission critical, head of duty applications in some of the world’s largest public and private organisations.

The partnership provides a ‘joint conversion factory’ allowing organisations to accelerate (by up to six times) their CA Gen transformation, migration or modernisation projects by deploying Jumar’s proprietary automated software tooling. 

This is enhanced by Capgemini’s experience in supporting large-scale transformation projects.

The approach allows for a much more rapid return on investment from a CA Gen transformation project, from more than ten years to less than two years, Jumar says.

Wendy Merricks, Jumar’s managing director, said: “CA Gen-using organisations have a massive appetite to modernise their portfolio and this partnership provides them with unparalleled access to the best knowledge, software and resources.

“We find that many CA Gen modernisation projects benefit from the wider expertise of systems integrators of Capgemini’s calibre and scale.”

Capgemini – whose UK base is in Woking – employs 130,000 people in more than 40 countries
