What Qosguard does

QosGuard SAS is a France-based private consulting and expertise firm founded in 2006, headquartered in Jouy-en-Josas, and operating across the lifecycle of enterprise Information Systems (Think, Build, Run phases). The company delivers continuous performance improvement services for IT organizations and information systems, grounded in a socio-technical model that combines organizational, functional, and technical analysis. Its core offering is structured around four interconnected service lines—Accompagnement (change management and transition support), Conseil (Build-to-Run transition and continuous improvement), Audit (project, process, architecture, and performance audits), and Expertise (performance testing, IS supervision and metrology)—all unified by a proprietary inquiry-based methodology called PERFOPS®.

The firm operates on a mission-based consulting model, embedding expert consultants within client organizations to deliver measurable outcomes such as IS supervision, governance indicators, user satisfaction improvements, and proactive incident management. QosGuard has reported annual revenue of 4.5 million EUR with an ecosystem of approximately 25 multidisciplinary consultants, and maintains a horizontal segmentation approach addressing enterprise and government clients across use cases including IT performance, organizational maturity, and digital transformation support. Its flagship disclosed client is SIMMT, the French defense agency for land systems operational maintenance, with the engagement dating back to 2015.

QosGuard generates revenue exclusively through professional consulting fees, with no disclosed software products, subscription pricing, or platform-based monetization. Distribution is entirely sales-led and direct, relying on a bilingual French/English website, content marketing via blog testimonials, and reputation-driven client acquisition. The company is independently owned with no evidence of institutional equity backing beyond BPI France's FrenchTech program support and a single 2016 capital event with Starquest Capital. GDPR compliance is maintained via a designated Data Protection Officer.
