Indian IT services giant Wipro is said to be in “hectic negotiations” with bankers over financing a deal to acquire uber-consulting firm CapGemini for $7 Billion.
CapGemini became the largest distributor of Google Apps with a deal signed in September. Under the deal CapGemini collects a £25 licence fee for each install, plus additional fees for service and maintenance, and Google gets exposure to over one million corporate desktops.
According to a report at El Reg, CapGemini shares closed up 11% on news of the potential acquisition, closing at €45.
