What MGDIS does

MGDIS is a privately held French software publisher founded in 1983 and headquartered in Vannes, with additional offices in Futuroscope Chasseneuil (Poitiers) and Avelin, and 220 employees across these sites. The company is approximately 90% employee-owned, with capital social of €642,007 and Frank Mosser serving as Président. MGDIS operates two vertically focused segments: Public (municipalities, departments, regions, and métropoles) and Santé (healthcare and medico-social establishments). Its product portfolio is anchored on the NEXYS unified platform — an open-source, sovereign solution built on Drupal and hosted on OVHcloud in France, comprising three natively connected modules (NEXYS Sites, NEXYS Relation Usagers, NEXYS Intranet) with over 200 activatable features, supplemented by standalone products including AIDEN for grant and subsidy management, Operio for operations and receivables tracking, Evalys for program evaluation, Ma Collectivité en Poche for mobile citizen engagement, iDcity for participatory democracy, NUMENS for healthcare budget monitoring, and SOFI / SOFI EHPAD for multi-year investment planning. The company also offers outsourced services such as Centre Relation Usagers and délégation d'instruction.

Underlying technology rests on open-source Drupal, OVHcloud sovereign hosting, ISO 27001 certification, RGAA accessibility compliance, GDPR/RGPD alignment, and NIS2 readiness. The company maintains registered trademarks on all major product names at INPI, has served over 850 public sector clients since 1983, and co-founded the France GovTech association in September 2025 with other French public software publishers to advance interoperability standards and a sovereign collaboration forge. In January 2024 MGDIS completed a merger with TELMEDIA, a digital development firm for local authorities based in Avelin.

Commercially, MGDIS sells directly to French public sector organizations via enterprise field sales, with quote-based pricing and annual or multi-year subscription contracts covering software licenses plus recurring services. Revenue streams include subscription and license fees, professional services (consulting, integration, training, hosting), and outsourced citizen-relationship services. The company generates inbound demand through proprietary research studies on public-sector digitalization, client testimonials across 40+ named accounts including major regions such as Occitanie, Bretagne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, and cities such as Strasbourg, Nantes, Grenoble, Toulouse, and Bordeaux, alongside a partner ecosystem including Accessiway for accessibility compliance and OVHcloud for sovereign infrastructure.
