Sedona

What Sedona does

Sedona is a privately held French digital services and technology consulting firm headquartered in Paris, founded in 1998 by Jean-Michel Delzoppo and Juliette Leygues. The group delivers end-to-end digital transformation services spanning Cloud & DevOps (AWS, Azure, GCP), Data & AI (including on-premise LLM, RAG, and predictive analytics), Web & Mobile development, Digital Platforms (Liferay, Drupal, WordPress, eZ Platform), and strategic consulting. Specialized practices include a 15-person Svelte/SvelteKit team, a 4-person Keycloak IAM team, an Elastic Search service, and the Sedolab innovation lab exploring IoT, AR, and RPA. The firm holds an 18-year Liferay Gold partnership, Microsoft Cloud partner status since 2017, and active alliances with AWS, GCP, Confluent, and Elastic.

The company operates a multi-brand structure (Sedona, Sedona Solutions, West, Zest Innovation, InAdeo, Sedona Asia) consolidated under Sedona Group in 2020, with offices in Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Geneva, Lyon, and Toulon serving 220+ employees. Revenue reached 21M EUR in 2023 (from 300k EUR in 1998), with 200+ projects delivered to enterprise clients across luxury, insurance, healthcare, media, government, and retail — including Nespresso, NRJ Group, Thermor, IPSOS, Château de Versailles, BPI, Saint-Gobain, and Lagardère. Pricing is project-based (forfait and time-and-materials) with multi-year engagements typically above 100k EUR, and a new managed services layer (Keycloak RUN/RUN+) is introducing recurring revenue.

Sedona's go-to-market is enterprise-led through direct sales, event-driven demand generation (Devoxx, MiXiT, Liferay Customer Summit, Elastic{On}), and partner referrals. The firm is doubling down on AI services (2024-2026) and on-premise, data-sovereignty-driven implementations using French LLMs (Mistral, CroissantLLM) to differentiate for regulated European clients. Ownership is founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investors.
