What Zenika does

Zenika is a France-headquartered IT consulting, training, and delivery firm founded in 2006 by Carl Azoury, operating across 14 offices in France, Morocco, Canada, and Singapore with a workforce in the 251–500 range. The company serves enterprise clients seeking digital transformation support through three primary service lines — Expertise (team augmentation), Delivery (end-to-end software delivery from PoC/MVP to production), and Consulting (advisory) — supplemented by a Training business that has reached more than 30,000 people since inception. Its technical domains span Agility, Architecture, Cloud, Data, Design, DevOps, Back End/Front End, Green IT, Innovation/AI, Mobile, and Security, with demonstrated delivery on hyperscaler stacks (Google Cloud Premier Partner, AWS Select Partner), event streaming (Confluent), and open source ecosystems (47,000+ contributions across 7,000+ projects).

Zenika monetizes exclusively through professional services engagements, with pricing that is project-specific and quote-based, varying by consultant seniority, scope, and duration. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales, supplemented by a strong content and community marketing engine (blog, Zenika TV, Medium, Dev.to, NightClazz meetups, TechnoZaure internal conference). The customer base is horizontally diversified across banking (RCI Banque, Arkéa, LC LITE), retail (Decathlon), energy (EDF), education (ICES), technology (Akeneo, Solocal), and robotics (Crown Digital). In February 2022 Bpifrance and Socadif took a minority equity stake alongside founder and management; approximately 47% of employees are shareholders, embedding broad-based ownership into the operating model.

The firm distinguishes itself through a community-of-experts model in which consultants tap the wider "Z" network beyond individual assignments, and through commitments to responsible technology — notably GreenIT.fr partnership, eco-design training, and a measured 35 kg CO2/€1,000 carbon intensity. Zenika reported €50M revenue in 2021, the most recent disclosed milestone, and has since invested in international expansion (Casablanca office in 2023) and hyperscaler partnership upgrades (2024).
