Degetel

What Degetel does

Degetel is a privately held French digital transformation consulting firm founded in 1999 in Paris by Denis Klenkle-Lallemand, Patrick Sayagh, and Georges Klenkle, later joined by Yannick Quignon. The company employs approximately 600 professionals across five offices in France (Paris headquarters, Lille, Lyon, Strasbourg) and Belgium (Brussels Benelux regional headquarters). Degetel became a subsidiary of the Technology & Strategy Group in early 2020 after fully achieving its standalone strategic objectives.

The company delivers end-to-end digital transformation through five integrated service pillars: Digital Transformation (strategy and project management), Digital Studio (design thinking and prototyping), Digital Factory (software development and Agile delivery), Digital Performance (Big Data, Cloud, IoT, and AI integration), and Digital Marketing (added in 2021 via the L'agence sub-brand). Technology capabilities span mobile (iOS, Android), web (ReactJS, PHP), Big Data infrastructure (Hadoop, Spark, MongoDB, Elasticsearch), Cloud, IoT (Smart City, Smart Home), and computer-vision AI applications. Internal R&D is conducted through Degetel Lab, established in 2008, and the firm maintains research partnerships with AP-HP for telemedicine projects (Dermadom, MelanOpTIC, RetinOpTIC) and the German Research Center DFKI for the Skin Care AI melanoma screening solution launched in 2019.

Degetel operates a pure B2B project-based consulting model, generating revenue through fixed-price and time-and-materials engagements delivered on-site at client locations. It serves approximately 90 active enterprise clients spanning banking (BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Crédit Agricole), telecom and media (Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, TF1, France Télévisions, Le Monde, Le Figaro, Arte), retail (Carrefour, Fnac Darty, Casino, E.Leclerc, Les Mousquetaires), transport (SNCF, RATP), energy and utilities (EDF, ENGIE, Enedis, Suez), luxury (Lagardère), hospitality (Accor, Club Med), industrial (Alstom), and construction (Bouygues Construction). Disclosed annual turnover is €60M, with 120 projects planned for 2025.
