What Synaltic Group does

Synaltic Group is a French data consulting and services boutique founded in 2004 and headquartered in Vincennes, with a regional office in Toulouse. The firm co-constructs, modernizes, and operates enterprise data platforms for clients — most of them large French enterprises across financial services, retail, media, energy, public sector, and industrial verticals — and actively promotes open source alternatives to proprietary data stacks. Its flagship service offering is the Open Data Lakehouse, an architecture combining Data Lake flexibility with Data Warehouse governance, built on Apache open source projects (Airflow, Hadoop, Iceberg, Superset) and integrated with commercial open data engines, principally Dremio, Qlik Open Lakehouse, Talend, and Tableau.

The portfolio spans four service lines: consulting and governance (Data Gouvernance, Architecture Data, agile project accompaniment, technical assistance), custom application development (analytical, cartographic, and open data applications), a published training catalog covering analytics, DataOps, and specific tools, and ongoing platform support. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services and consulting engagements on a project basis; training provides a recurring instructor-led stream; and custom application development contributes bespoke billable work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — prospective clients request quotes. Engagement is overwhelmingly sales-led, supplemented by an unusually active content and community engine: the recurring 'Festival Online de la Data' webinar series, a regular blog, white papers, conference presence (Tableau Conference, Big Data Paris, Talend Connect, Iceberg Summit), and the '#Synalteam' community brand.

Customer concentration sits with large enterprise logos (Euronext, Carrefour Banque, OFI Asset Management, Carrefour, JCDecaux, La Poste Solutions Business, Le Point, Chronopost, RTE, Vinci, Bouygues Immobilier, LISI Aerospace, Siemens, Intersport, La Croix Rouge Française, and the open data initiative Data-Asso). Ownership remains private and founder-led, with Charly Clairmont serving as Directeur Général / CTO since founding the firm (originally as Altic, rebranded in 2015); no external investors, M&A, or restructuring events are disclosed.
