What Planet Bourgogne does

Planet Bourgogne (legal name PLANET Bourgogne, DBA PLANET B) is a French IT services company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Saint Apollinaire, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, operating as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with share capital of €98,020. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff and serves approximately 361 clients across France and selectively in Europe and internationally, organized around three service lines: managed hosting and infrastructure (Infogérance & Hébergement), custom software development (Solutions Web & Logicielles), and online services (SMS platform, data exchange, domain registration, SSL certificates, Microsoft 365, backup).

The company's hosting infrastructure is built on VMware cluster virtualization, independent SAN storage arrays, dual datacenter network connections, HA firewall publication, and Kubernetes orchestration with Google Cloud Platform integration, supporting a contractual >99.98% monthly availability SLA with 24/7 on-call incident response. Custom-developed assets include the HORIZON rental management system (Carrefour Location, 900 stores, 3,000+ users), a Webhooks Proxy middleware for Brevo (processing 55 million emails/day at 2,000 webhooks/second), and bespoke intranets, ERPs, extranets, and field-data applications for enterprise clients in retail, banking, tourism, logistics, wine, geotechnical engineering, and publishing. Hosting is delivered through a strategic co-traitance partnership with DTiX Datacenters in Dijon.

Planet Bourgogne operates an exclusively direct-sales model led by dedicated project managers serving as primary client interfaces, with no intermediaries, resellers, or self-service channels. Revenue is generated through managed-services subscriptions, quote-based bespoke development engagements, and recurring online-services subscriptions (e.g., backup services from €16/month). Notable multi-decade enterprise clients include Pierre & Vacances Center Parcs, Caisse d'Épargne Bourgogne Franche-Comté, Carrefour Location, Boisset, Géotec, and Page Up, alongside public-sector work secured through the 2026 CANUT framework agreement for Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
