Idruide

What Idruide does

Idruide is a Monaco-incorporated French software vendor (Société Anonyme Monégasque) that builds sovereign, multi-OS Unified Endpoint Management and digital-education tooling for the French public sector. Its product suite combines Stonehenge (UEM/MDM for Android, Windows, ChromeOS and Apple), Web Secure (cloud-based DNS internet filtering that works on and off premises without dedicated hardware), Roome Dialog (a conversational classroom-management web app that can run independently of the MDM, supporting BYOD/AVEC) and Manuel (a digital textbook library / 'digital school bag'). The 2023 idruide Sparkle platform unifies Account (MIM), Stonehenge, Comet (MAM), Web Secure and Roome Dialog under a single console with a new Observability module, and a SCIM connector was added for automated directory synchronization with identity providers.

The technical stack is anchored on OVH-hosted French infrastructure certified to ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and 27701, with GDPR compliance declared to the CNIL and a proprietary ChromeOS anonymization/obfuscation layer co-developed with Google that sits between Google Admin Console and nominative user data ('zero personal data by design'). Idruide integrates with French national digital workspaces (ENT) including iTop Éducation, ENT Colibri (Open Digital Education) and One1D, and supports SSO federation plus QR-code authentication for non-reading students and ephemeral/floating multi-user accounts on shared devices.

Commercially, Idruide sells primarily on multi-year subscription contracts (per-device or per-user) bundled into EIM (Équipements Informatiques Mobiles) public-procurement contracts awarded by académies, DSDEN, départements and communes, with a separate mobile-class subscription track and recurring professional-services revenue for deployment, training and pedagogical accompaniment. Go-to-market mixes direct enterprise field sales, demo booking on the website, the CFI device-staging distributor, and ecosystem referrals through AFTRN, AFINEF, Andev and EducAzur, supported by content marketing (the We Move blog, case studies, webinars) and event presence at Educatech Expo and Ludovia. The customer base is concentrated in French education (Grand Belfort, Drancy, Académie de Martinique, DSDEN 81 Tarn) with a recent expansion into defense via the TENACE project with the French Army.

Revenue model

1. Software Licensing (EIM Contracts): Idruide generates revenue primarily through software licensing agreements with public sector entities, particularly EIM (Équipements Informatiques Mobiles) contracts where the company provides MDM, web filtering, and classroom management licenses bundled with device procurement by collectivités. Contracts are structured per-device or per-user on a subscription basis.
2. Mobile Class Contracts: Separate subscription contracts for classroom mobile deployments, where smaller quantities of tablets are managed outside of large EIM contracts. These are typically annual or multi-year subscriptions.
3. Professional Services (Deployment & Training): Idruide provides deployment, configuration, and training services as part of its customer onboarding. These include proof-of-concept phases, remote device enrollment, user training, and ongoing pedagogical accompaniment throughout the project lifecycle.

Direct peers

• Hexnode: Hexnode is a unified endpoint management solution supporting iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS, and ChromeOS with education-tier licensing. Competes with Idruide on multi-OS UEM for schools and SMB/mid-market customers.
• Miradore: Miradore is a multi-OS MDM/UEM vendor with strong presence in European education markets (Finland-origin), offering similar GDPR-aware endpoint management. Comparable to Idruide on European public-sector education focus and multi-OS support.
• Jamf: Jamf is the leading Apple-focused MDM for education with strong K-12 penetration (Jamf School, Jamf Pro). Highly comparable to Idruide's Stonehenge multi-OS UEM and education vertical focus, though Jamf's roots are in macOS/iOS while Idruide is multi-OS from inception and France-sovereign.
• ManageEngine (Zoho): ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus offers multi-OS UEM (iOS, Android, Windows, ChromeOS) with education and enterprise customers. Direct competitor to Stonehenge on multi-platform device administration, though ManageEngine is a broader IT management suite rather than education-specialized.
• FileWave: FileWave is a multi-platform device management vendor with deep roots in K-12 and education markets, supporting macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. Comparable in vertical focus and cross-OS strategy to Idruide's Stonehenge and Sparkle suite.
• Google Workspace for Education Admin / Chrome Education Upgrade: Google's native ChromeOS and Workspace admin console is the default Chromebook management stack for schools worldwide and is the platform Idruide's ChromeOS-by-idruide solution wraps with a French GDPR-compliance layer. Closest direct competitor in the French Chromebook management segment.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Intune for Education: Microsoft Intune is bundled into Microsoft 365 Education and offers UEM for Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS devices in schools. A broad incumbent competing with Idruide's Stonehenge for large académie tenders, particularly where Microsoft 365 is already standardized.
• Ivanti (MobileIron): Ivanti's UEM portfolio (including legacy MobileIron) is a multi-OS enterprise mobility management platform used across government and education sectors. Competes with Stonehenge on enterprise UEM but lacks Idruide's education-specific classroom and filtering modules.
• Omnissa (formerly VMware AirWatch / Workspace ONE): Omnissa Workspace ONE is an enterprise-grade UEM with broad multi-OS support including education deployments. A broad incumbent competitor to Idruide's Stonehenge, particularly in larger enterprise and government education accounts.

Regional players

• Konica Minolta / ITES (Argus) — European education MDM distributors: European-headquartered education technology and managed service providers (including Konica Minolta IT Solutions and similar channel partners) compete with Idruide's Sparkle platform at the regional level by bundling MDM with device procurement and managed services across European school systems.
