  Capgemini SE and Audi AG said Thursday that they have established a joint venture, known as XL2, to provide digital technology and consulting services. 


  The Paris-based IT consultancy and the German Volkswagen AG subsidiary said the joint venture, founded at the end of April, would provide services primarily for Audi and Volkswagen. 


  The two companies said Heilbronn, Germany-headquartered XL2 would have a dual leadership, led by Geraldine Aubert, former vice president of packaged-based services at Capgemini, and Felix Spitznagel, former director of the SAP acceleration center at Audi.
