BeWe

What BeWe does

BeWe is a French IT services and consulting firm specializing in the deployment, integration, customization, and managed operation of cloud collaboration platforms, with deep specialization in the Microsoft ecosystem. Founded in March 2013 by Xavier Gendron at the Euratechnologies incubator in Lille, the company helps organizations adopt and operationalize Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Viva Engage), Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and complementary platforms including Powell 365 (Intranet and Governance), Learn365 (LMS), DocuSign (e-signature), and AvePoint Cloud Backup. Its proprietary methodologies — notably the "BeMore Microsoft" adoption framework and the "BuildExpress" agile deployment methodology targeting <8-week portal rollouts — frame the offering around user adoption, change management, and measurable business ROI rather than pure technical implementation.

BeWe serves three customer tiers — PME (small-medium enterprises), ETI (mid-size enterprises), and Grands Groupes (large enterprises) — under three engagement models: Services Managés (managed services with defined SLAs), Projets au Forfait / Régie Bornée (fixed-price projects), and Régie / Assistance Technique (time-and-materials consulting). Additional revenue comes from cloud license resale and advisory (Microsoft 365 and partner platforms) and standalone change-management/training engagements. The company holds four Microsoft Solutions Partner designations (Digital & App Innovation Azure, Data & AI Azure, Infrastructure Azure, Security), is a certified reference partner for Powell Software and DocuSign, and operates from Lille (headquarters) and Paris (Île-de-France regional office).

BeWe reports more than 350 active clients across diverse sectors — manufacturing (HEINEKEN France, POCLAIN), food and dairy (INGREDIA), logistics (Getlink/Eurotunnel), industrial distribution (Rubix), real estate (JUNOT), security (Finalease Group Security), and education (DAEC de Lille, Collège du Sacré-Cœur d'Halluin, KOLTRAIN). Notable inorganic moves include the 2016 acquisition of integration partner Beespoint and the October 2021 fusion-absorption of ESN Camoai. The firm remains founder-led under CEO Xavier Gendron, with no disclosed institutional private equity or venture capital backing.
