Programisto

What Programisto does

Programisto is a French IT consulting and digital expertise firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Bordeaux, operating as a SAS (simplified joint-stock company). The company delivers services to medium and large enterprises through two complementary models: Consulting, which places individual expert resources into client projects, and Factory, which supplies complete on-demand teams. Its service portfolio is structured around four core competencies: Development (back-end, front-end, mobile, architecture), Quality Assurance, Product Management, and Project Management/PMO, supported by a broad technology stack spanning PHP, Java, C++, C#, JavaScript, Angular, React, Flutter, Android, relational and noSQL databases, DevOps, and Cloud infrastructure.

Programisto's commercial activity is anchored by named enterprise clients including Air France, Thermo Fisher Scientific, RATP, KPMG, Credit Mutuel Arkea, Betclic, Dekra, and Fedopa, spanning aviation, banking, life sciences, transportation, professional services, and gaming. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to engagement scope, with multi-year contracts typical for professional services delivery. The company supplements consulting revenue with content marketing (technical blog and podcast series) and has expanded scope through acquisitions of Brumisphère (a webmarketing agency, 2021) and Strateos (an IT recruitment firm, December 2023), alongside affiliated educational entities La Horde, École de Turing, and Vortex.

The business is privately held with no disclosed external funding, founder-led by CEO Florian Duport, and operates as a regionally focused firm within Bordeaux/France with no global footprint claim. The integrated ecosystem of consulting, recruitment, digital marketing, and education positions Programisto as a small but structurally diversified French tech services player targeting enterprise IT transformation mandates.
