What Group Proxiteam does

Group Proxiteam is a privately held French IT services group (ESN — Entreprise de Services du Numérique) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Levallois-Perret, operating two complementary subsidiaries: Apogea (management software integration for payroll/HR, ERP, CRM, finance, and BI) and Axido (IT infrastructure management, Microsoft Azure cloud administration, cybersecurity, helpdesk, and collaborative tools such as Microsoft 365). A third brand, Gemlia, was launched in 2024 for custom software and "secure AI solutions". The group serves approximately 4,000 customers — primarily French SMEs (PME), mid-sized enterprises (ETI), and local governments (Collectivités) — through a network of 14 agencies across Île-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Bretagne, Centre-Val de Loire, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, with revenues disclosed between 60M€ and 80M€ across sources and headcount of 400-500.

The group's technology stack is built around certified integration partnerships with leading enterprise software publishers — Sage (X3, 100, 1000, Intacct, L100), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Pennylane, Cegid XRP Flex, Silae, Lucca, Agicap, Yooz, and Power BI/MyReport for ERP/finance/BI, plus Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 on the infrastructure side. Service delivery is performed by multi-certified consultant teams with 8.5 years of average seniority, supplemented by an internal SOC providing SIEM/SOAR/EDR, penetration testing, and incident response capabilities. Distribution is entirely direct — field-based commercial engineers (Ingénieur Commercial terrain) supported by an inside sales function (ADV) target DAF/DIR/IT decision-makers at SME and ETI accounts.

The business model combines project-based professional services (ERP and management software integration, cloud migration, cybersecurity deployment) with recurring managed services contracts (infogérance and SOC) and software license resale from publisher partners. Pricing is quote-driven with no public list, project-based on scope and consultant seniority. GTM is sales-led and proximity-driven, leveraging an employee referral (cooptation) program as a secondary talent attraction channel. Ownership is family-held (société familiale), with no disclosed external institutional investors, and a stated corporate development plan targets doubling activity by 2028-2030 through a blend of organic growth and selective acquisitions.

Revenue model

1. Professional Services (Consulting & Integration): Revenue is primarily generated through consulting and integration project fees for ERP, management software, cloud migration, and cybersecurity deployments. Projects are typically scoped and delivered by consultant teams, with pricing based on scope, duration, and consultant seniority.
2. Managed IT Services (Infogérance): Recurring managed services contracts for IT infrastructure management, cloud hosting, cybersecurity monitoring, and helpdesk support. Revenue is recurring in nature, billed through long-term contractual relationships with SME and ETI clients.
3. Software & License Resale: Proxiteam resells software licenses (Sage, Microsoft, Pennylane, etc.) as part of its integration projects and ongoing client relationships, generating one-time license fees and potentially recurring maintenance/subscription revenues from publishers.
