Abeille Informatique

What Abeille Informatique does

Abeille Informatique is a privately-held French IT services company (SARL) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Cournon d'Auvergne, serving primarily small and medium-sized businesses in the Auvergne region within a 30km radius of Clermont-Ferrand. The company provides an integrated portfolio spanning dedicated server hosting (VPS 2020 product line built on CEPH and FAST_CEPH distributed storage, priced €15–€200/month with high-availability variants), premium dedicated fiber internet access under the BEEzness brand (€500/month, 1 Gbps symmetric with 100 Mbps guaranteed and a 4-hour GTR SLA), managed infrastructure services (Infogérance from €62/month), and complementary products including BEEIP broadband, VoIP telephony, BeeSpot WiFi hotspots, BeeScreen digital signage, and BeeCam video surveillance. The company also performs on-site software development, database management, and IoT engineering branded as "Internet of Tools" (Internet Of Tools).

The underlying technology stack is anchored by an owned datacenter in Auvergne running CEPH distributed storage for hosting and a proprietary dark fiber ("fibre noire") network that delivers uncontended bandwidth to enterprise customers. The BEEzness fiber bundle integrates a firewall router, 8 fixed IPv4 addresses, IPv6, and 4 simultaneous VoIP channels, positioning the offering against shared-fiber business ISPs that face upstream capacity constraints. GTM is sales-led and field-driven: technicians install and maintain equipment on client premises, supplemented by a self-service client portal (BeeABO at contrat.abeille.com) for billing and service administration.

Revenue is generated through monthly recurring subscriptions across VPS hosting, enterprise fiber, and managed services, with revenue mechanics depending on tier mix and add-on consumption (storage, RAM, vCores, IPv4). Distribution is direct via field sales within the Auvergne catchment area, with no disclosed partners, resellers, or external funding. The company operates with a 1–10 employee footprint, €18,330 share capital, RCS registration in Clermont-Ferrand, and no public listings, acquisitions, or institutional investors referenced in available material.
