Capgemini has announced that it is expanding its strategic partnership with Google Cloud to provide end-to-end secure and sovereign cloud solutions to its clients. This would allow the organization to modernize its critical operations, ensuring the compliance of the data security and protection requirements of the clients. With the aims and objectives of the partnership, Capgemini would allow its clients to embrace the latest AI products and services offered by Google Cloud, like Vertex AI and Enterprise, through the collaboration.
The enhanced collaboration enables organizations to leverage Gemini-powered hyper-automated cloud management to improve cybersecurity, resiliency, disaster recovery, and sovereign-aligned compliance initiatives. Joint customers can choose the sovereignty mode best suited to their needs across Google Cloud, Google Cloud Dedicated, and Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped environments.
It’s critical that organizations are empowered to roll out AI and modernize applications in ways that adhere to sovereign requirements,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud. “Capgemini is a vital partner in this initiative, helping customers use Google Sovereign Cloud to accelerate digital transformation while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and sovereignty.”

“While the potential of AI in modernizing critical operations is clear, there are constraints due to stringent regulatory mandates on data and compliance,” said Fernando Alvarez, Chief Strategy and Development Officer and Group Executive Board member at Capgemini. “With our deep industry expertise combined with our proven track record in implementing AI-first solutions that deliver real business transformation, Capgemini is well positioned to address these challenges. Becoming a Google Cloud air-gapped operator enables us to further provide trusted and secure end-to-end sovereign solutions that enable resilience, help maintain autonomy and security, and foster innovation at scale.”
To assist clients that have diverse national and sector sovereignty needs, Capgemini has planned to develop a Google Sovereign Cloud Delivery Practice and Center of Excellence. This will assist in delivering advisory and implementation services that are particularly relevant to regulated and sensitive environments, such that core applications and infrastructure, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms, can be modernized securely while complying with very demanding data residency, access, and operating needs. The company’s existing capabilities in delivering services related to sovereign clouds and data transformation services have also been enhanced by its acquisitions of Syniti, a market expert in delivering data transformation services for SAP environments at large scales, and Cloud4C, a specialist in delivering automation-based managed services for hybrid and sovereign clouds.
With its newly attained GDC partner status and designation as an authorized GDC air-gapped operator, Capgemini can deliver a fully managed sovereign service model designed for organizations that require complete isolation from the public internet. This managed offering supports highly regulated and mission-critical environments across European markets, enabling use cases such as secure logistics planning, threat analysis, and operational decision support—while ensuring that all data remains fully contained within a protected, sovereign enclave.
As a trusted AI-led business and technology transformation partner, Capgemini brings decades of experience supporting organizations worldwide in large-scale digital and cloud modernization. Combined with Google Cloud’s industry-leading AI and cloud technologies, the expanded partnership is positioned to help enterprises and public sector organizations deliver secure, compliant innovation for high-value business processes and accelerate the transformation of business-critical systems with unified legal, data, and operational control.
