Cegape

What Cegape does

Cegape, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Levallois-Perret (Greater Paris), is a French software and services vendor exclusively dedicated to the human resources, payroll, and unemployment-insurance management of the French public sector. It serves all three branches of the Fonction Publique — État (state), Territoriale (local government), and Hospitalière (hospital) — through a client base of approximately 1,680 public-sector establishments, of which 725 are equipped with Cegape's proprietary software and approximately 350,000 payslips are processed monthly.

The company operates a Windows/web-based proprietary software suite comprising Winpaie+RH (integrated HRIS for the state civil service covering administrative management, career, payroll, and leave), Winpaie+RH PréliQ (payroll pre-liquidation / PSOP integrated with DRFIP/DGFIP), Virtualia (cross-branch HRIS with GPEC, training, interviews, and evaluations, acquired from HR Path in November 2025), Congés+RH (leave and absence management with agent self-service portals and dematerialized CET campaigns), and Indeline (unemployment dossier and ARE payment management for self-insured public establishments). The platform is purpose-built around French public HR codification, regulatory compliance, and state payroll transmission flows rather than generic HR functionality.

Cegape monetizes through three streams: (i) software licensing and subscriptions (on-premise or hosted) with annual maintenance; (ii) a Qualiopi-certified training organization delivering 110+ courses to roughly 8,000 public-sector agents per year at unit prices ranging from €400 to €1,990 per trainee; and (iii) managed services for outsourced payroll pre-liquidation and unemployment dossier administration. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales targeted at French public-sector HR and DGS leadership, supported by an Atlassian-based client portal, a live training calendar, the Actu RH newsletter, and a webinar/event program. The company is privately held, with Extens identified as its financial sponsor and parent entity following the November 2025 Geef/Virtualia acquisition.
