Bookings for the January-March period totalled EUR 5.47 billion, increasing 26 per cent compared to the same period last year at constant exchange rates. Benefiting from a shift to cloud-based computing, Capgemini reported higher-than-expected earnings. Still, it warned that higher wage pressures and the cost of employees returning to the office would hit profits in 2022. The Paris-based group had 340,700 employees at the end of March, up 24 per cent from a year earlier.
