Our take
Capita delivers consulting, digital and software solutions to improve connections between businesses & customers, and governments & citizens. Founded in 1984, it now offers its expertise across wide ranging industries, and it’s this depth and breadth of expertise that has made Capita a primary port of call for a number of varying businesses.
Capita’s offering is only becoming more important in today’s economy. Fierce competition has meant that established companies can fail faster than ever before, and the public sector must keep up with rapidly changing technology. As a result, both need to constantly innovate, and this is where Capita comes in.
The company is working to become both a stronger and simpler business in the long term. As part of this, it is selling off non-core businesses to strengthen the balance sheet and switch focus to its two key divisions: Capita Public Service and Capita Experience.
