Telework opportunities with better prospects
After the “offshore” engineers employed in India or in Eastern Europe for low added value missions, it is now the most specialized functions that are concerned. Capgemini believes that the development of remote working will enable it to generate additional cost savings and to mobilize its employees more effectively on an international level. The group, whose organization should be based on 40 to 50% of teleworking, assesses the potential medium-term gain of 1 to 1.5 points on the margin rate (11.9%). Sopra-Steria and Atos are also looking into this method of organization

The actors are nevertheless aware of the limits because teleworking will not suit all employees.
