Microsoft and services company Capgemini SA have bolstered their seven-year alliance with a $50 million investment designed to sell more software and services to customers in several industries, the companies plan to announce Monday.

The money is being used to create product and services bundles based on Microsoft's Windows Server System products, the .Net platform and Capgemini's services. The bundles, some of which are already available, are aimed at organizations in health care, energy, chemicals, utilities, automotive, manufacturing, retail and the public sector, Microsoft and Capgemini said.
