What Smartview does

SmartView (legal entity CHRYSALIS SAS) is a French consulting and software firm founded in 2010 by Christophe Monnier and headquartered in Montpellier, with a secondary office in Paris. The company delivers advisory, certified training, and software solutions around three practice areas: AI and Microsoft 365 collaboration (Copilot deployment, AI maturity audits, prompt engineering training, agentic AI workflows); Atlassian tooling (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Jira Service Management) including cloud migration and license optimization under a Platinum partner status; and Agile/Scaled Agile transformation (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, Product Management) with named certified coaches. SmartSupport, its year-round on-demand advisory subscription, addresses PME and ETI that lack full-time internal expertise.

The company's technology backbone is the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, Power Platform, Power BI) and the Atlassian stack, with three proprietary assets on top: 365Metrics, an Azure-hosted FinOps SaaS that audits Microsoft 365 license utilization and typically identifies ~20% in license-budget savings; Aquarius, a Jira plugin that automates data extraction, archiving, and GDPR-compliant migration; and Pixel4Scrum, an open-source (CC BY 4.0) digital adaptation of Lego4Scrum used as a community and lead-generation tool. Vendor accreditations — Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work, Atlassian Platinum Partner, and Qualiopi (the French training-quality certification required for OPCO funding) — gate the firm's access to enterprise license revenue and public-sector training tenders.

SmartView monetizes through five streams: time-and-materials consulting and strategic advisory engagements billed on day rates or fixed fees; Qualiopi-certified training sold both as open enrollment (e.g., Product Owner at EUR 800 per participant) and intra-company delivery (e.g., EUR 3,600 flat per session); a higher-credential RNCP Product Manager certification (65 hours over 4 months, EUR 3,800 TTC) co-delivered with Montpellier Business School; Tier 2 license resale of Microsoft 365, Azure, Copilot, and Atlassian subscriptions (margin on the wholesale-retail spread, augmented by 365Metrics); and SmartSupport recurring subscriptions. Customers span PME, ETI, large enterprises, and French public-sector organizations across research, social housing, healthcare/medical devices, media, and industrial sectors.

• Devoteam: Major European IT consulting firm with strong Microsoft partnership and AI/Cloud transformation practices. Comparable to SmartView at the Microsoft 365, Copilot, and agile transformation level, but operating at materially larger scale across multiple countries.
• onepoint: French digital transformation consultancy with a comparable blend of technology advisory, agile/SAFe coaching, and Microsoft/Atlassian ecosystem expertise, serving similar PME-to-enterprise and public-sector clients in France.

Emerging players

• Wemanity: European consultancy specialized in agile transformation, Product Management, and modern collaboration tooling. Overlaps with SmartView's agile coaching, SAFe, and product management certification offerings, though less focused on M365 license resale.

• Capgemini: Global IT services leader with extensive Microsoft, AI, and agile transformation offerings. Overlaps with SmartView in the French enterprise market, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a focused Microsoft/Atlassian specialist.

Regional players
