What Adentis does

Adentis is a French operational consulting firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, operating as a subsidiary of the diversified group Groupe moOngy. The firm specializes in three integrated service lines: embedded systems (its core competency for over twenty years, covering software development in C/Python/C#, electronic and microelectronic design including FPGA and ASIC, and full V-cycle systems engineering), IT infrastructure and software development, and cybersecurity, the last of which was formalized as a practice in 2016 in response to client demand. Services are delivered through consultant placement at client sites, spanning roles such as embedded software engineers, web/mobile developers, project managers, infrastructure engineers, electronic and microelectronic engineers, cybersecurity engineers, and systems engineers. Adentis serves large enterprises and mid-market clients in defense and space (Thales, Airbus Defense, Thales Alenia), semiconductors (STMicroelectronics, NXP), transport (Continental), energy (Schneider Electric, Equans, Suez), industrial (General Electric), and consumer goods (Chanel), among others. The firm operates from five regional offices in France (Boulogne-Billancourt, Rennes, Grenoble, Toulouse, Valbonne) plus subsidiaries in Portugal and Italy, holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, is a signatory to the UN Global Compact, and maintains an internal training platform called AdAcademy with 2,000+ learning modules. Revenue is generated through billable consultant hours under multi-year project contracts negotiated on a per-engagement basis, and the firm employs 470+ collaborators of whom 96% hold permanent contracts.
