Micromedia International

What Micromedia International does

Micromedia International is a France-based independent software vendor founded in 1994 that develops ALERT, a Windows-based alarm management and remote monitoring platform for industrial automation environments. ALERT centralizes critical alarms from heterogeneous sources — PLCs, SCADA/DCS systems, building management systems — using industry-standard protocols (OPC, Modbus, BACnet, OPC UA, MQTT) and dedicated connectors for major automation platforms (Wonderware/AVEVA, Siemens WinCC OA and Desigo CC, Schneider EcoStruxure, Sauter Vision Center, PcVue). The platform routes notifications to on-call personnel via voice, SMS, pagers, and the ALERTMobile smartphone app (iOS/Android) using configurable on-call schedules and supports redundant failover architectures for high-availability deployments. The product portfolio also includes DPR (a SQL-based production message archiver) and the Voice & SMS Gateway hardware add-on.

The company operates a dual direct-and-channel go-to-market: own offices in France (Meylan HQ, Paris, Narbonne), Belgium (Brussels), Germany (Hirrlingen), and Italy (Genoa), complemented by a network of 150+ system integrators and distributors worldwide — including anchor partners BN Automation AG (Germany, 70+ customers over 10+ years) and CimPro (Netherlands/Belgium, 300+ implementations over 20+ years). Revenue is generated through tiered perpetual software licenses (7 variable-count tiers from 25 to unlimited alarms), annual maintenance agreements (required for priority phone support and free updates), paid training (four levels, 1-4 days), on-site consulting and commissioning services, and hardware sales of the Voice & SMS Gateway. End customers span water/wastewater utilities, healthcare, building automation, pharmaceutical, energy, transport infrastructure, and lone-worker safety — with a disclosed installed base of more than 12,000 industrial sites globally. The company is privately held, has never raised external funding, and operates as a bootstrapped SME across multiple European markets.

Revenue model

1. ALERT Software Licenses: ALERT is sold as a perpetual software license. Licenses are tiered by the number of variables/alarms the customer wishes to supervise (25, 50, 250, 500, 2,500, 10,000, or unlimited alarms). A USB hardware dongle (physical USB key) is used by default for software protection; software-based license keys are available as an alternative.
2. Maintenance Agreements: Annual or multi-year maintenance contracts provide free software updates, priority technical support via phone and remote access (TeamViewer/Teams), free hardware/software license key exchanges when the customer's IT environment changes, and free temporary software license keys for testing new installations or system migrations.
3. Training Services: Paid training sessions offered in four levels (Introduction, Basic, Advanced, Expert) either at Micromedia's offices or on-site at customer premises. Duration ranges from 1 to 4 days depending on the level.
4. On-site Setup and Consulting: On-site technical support for installation, configuration, and commissioning, plus consulting and revamping services for existing installations. Billed per engagement.
5. Voice & SMS Gateway Hardware: The Voice & SMS Gateway (4G modem) is sold as a hardware product to be used with ALERT software for voice and SMS communication management.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• BN Automation AGcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 30 June 2025BN Automation AG is a leading specialist in process automation and has been using ALERT as a system integrator in Germany for over 10 years. More than 70 customers in the energy, industry, and water/wastewater sectors have been equipped with ALERT by BNA, optimizing their operations with a sophisticated and reliable alarm solution. This is one of Micromedia's most significant German integration partners.
• SPS Exhibition (Mesago)minorGTM or Marketing Partner · 14 November 2023Micromedia participates as an exhibitor at the annual SPS (Smart Production Solutions) trade fair in Nuremberg — Europe's leading exhibition for smart and digital automation. The company uses this platform to demonstrate ALERT, generate leads, and meet with customers and partners.
• CimProcoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 2 March 2023CimPro is a Dutch supplier of solutions for water management, buildings, and smart industry. It has been a prime partner of Micromedia for over 20 years and is the distributor of ALERT in the Netherlands and Belgium, having delivered more than 300 successful implementations.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AVEVA: Global industrial software vendor (formerly Wonderware) whose HMI/SCADA suites include integrated alarm management and notification functions. Micromedia explicitly integrates with AVEVA/Wonderware while also competing with its embedded alarm features, making AVEVA an incumbent that is simultaneously a partner and a competitor.
• iconics (Mitsubishi Electric): Develops GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA software with native alarm management, notification, and mobility features, now embedded inside Mitsubishi Electric's larger industrial software portfolio. Competes with Micromedia's ALERT as part of a broader automation stack rather than a standalone notification layer.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Provides the EcoStruxure platform (including Geo SCADA Expert) with native alarm and event notification capabilities across industrial, water, and building applications. Directly comparable to ALERT's portfolio while bundled into a much broader digital automation offering.
• OnSolve: Mass notification and critical event management vendor whose CodeRED, MIR3, and Send Word Now platforms overlap with ALERT's mass-notification function but serve a broader enterprise/government audience rather than industrial automation specialists.
• Everbridge: Leader in critical event management and mass notification, with capabilities that overlap ALERT's voice, SMS, and mobile alerting. Its scope extends well beyond industrial automation into IT, public safety, and enterprise risk, making it a broader incumbent in the alerting layer.
• Siemens Industrial (Digital Industries): Sells SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC OA, and Desigo CC platforms with built-in alarm management and notification, serving the same industrial and building automation customers Micromedia targets. As one of Micromedia's integration partners, Siemens is both a complement and an entrenched competitor for native alarm routing.
• Honeywell (Process Solutions / Forge): Provides Experion, AlarmFocus/Alarm Suite, and Forge with industrial alarm management and operator notification as part of a much larger DCS, safety, and digital transformation portfolio. Targets the same plant and process automation buyers as Micromedia.

Direct peers

• COPA-DATA: Austrian vendor of the zenon industrial automation platform with integrated alarm management, on-call scheduling, and notification capabilities, serving industrial and energy customers across Europe. Comparable in size, geography, and product scope to Micromedia and one of the most direct competitors for industrial alarm routing.
• Win-911 Software: US-based developer of SCADA/HMI alarm notification software that forwards industrial alarms to phones, SMS, email, and mobile apps. It is the closest functional analogue to Micromedia's ALERT, targeting the same SCADA integrators and end customers with a parallel enterprise alarm-notification value proposition.
• B-Scada: Provider of HMI/SCADA and alarm management software (Status, Enterprise Alert) for industrial and critical infrastructure operators. Overlaps directly with Micromedia in alarm management and multi-channel notification, though with a smaller installed base and different geographic emphasis.
