e-connect

What e-connect does

e-connect is a Luxembourg-based digital agency, founded in 2000, that provides customized digital solutions to small and medium businesses, public organizations, and municipalities. Its service portfolio is organized around three pillars: web design and development (including e-commerce), digital marketing (SEO, Google Ads, social media advertising, CRM, and data services), and a modular municipal management platform called e-GMS (Gemenge Management System). e-connect's core technology is its proprietary Quilium CMS, which powers client websites and custom applications, and which supports multilingual sites, GDPR compliance, and secure hosting on AWS infrastructure in the EU.

The e-GMS platform is a significant differentiator, offering Luxembourg communes a suite of nine-plus modules including room and equipment booking, citizen appointments, course and event registration, local partner directories, local recruitment, automated building permits, paperless document validation with Luxtrust digital signatures, a municipal newsletter editor (Buet en Ligne), and an event promotion service (Push My Event / Push My Service). In 2025, e-connect extended this platform with AI-powered modules — Assistant Citoyen AI, a knowledge-retrieval chatbot trained on municipal content, and a Gouvernance de l'IA framework for responsible AI deployment — and launched an "AI as a Service" offering for SMEs, supported by Luxembourg government subsidies of up to 70% via the House of Entrepreneurship. The firm uses a Growth Driven Design methodology for iterative, data-driven website optimization rather than traditional waterfall redesigns.

e-connect employs a sales-led go-to-market model with direct engagement through discovery calls, website inquiries, and a published case-study portfolio. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue streams include project-based professional services, recurring module subscriptions for e-GMS, and SME-subsidized AI implementation contracts. The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed. Leadership includes founder and CEO Tom Turping, Partner & Head of Sales Marc Roller, Partner & Head of Development Maxime Andrade, and Customer Success Manager / Board Member Lili Esteves. The firm is registered as E-Connect Web Communication S.A. in Luxembourg (RCS B145092) and operates from a single headquarters in Luxembourg City.
