Business process outsourcer serving UK public and private sectors
Capita operates a large-scale business process outsourcing (BPO) operation across eight countries, primarily serving UK government, local authorities, and enterprise clients. The tech stack reveals a hybrid enterprise posture—heavy on legacy (SAP, Oracle, SQL Server, .NET)—while actively replacing MPLS and SAP and adopting cloud infrastructure (Azure OpenAI, Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Machine Learning). This modernization pattern, paired with active hiring across support, ops, and engineering roles and concurrent projects around AI-led transformation and ServiceNow deployment, signals a strategic shift from traditional outsourcing toward data-driven, AI-augmented service delivery.
Notable leadership hires: Network Operations Lead, Customer Service Team Lead, Head of HR, Operations Director, Sales & Bid Director
