What Arketeam does

Arketeam is a France-based IT services company (ESN) and software publisher founded in 2008 by Laurent Pasquier, operating from its headquarters in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy with regional offices in Coueron, Villeneuve d'Ascq, and Suresnes. The company employs approximately 90 experts — consultants, developers, and engineers — with an average tenure of 8 years, and has served more than 440 clients across French public sector, healthcare, banking, and industry. Its core business is dual: on the services side, Arketeam provides IT strategy consulting, AMOA, custom application development (TMA), and database expertise across Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL; on the product side, it develops and licenses four proprietary management software platforms — UP'RH (collaborative HR portal), Protectel (KYC/KYB compliance orchestration with a multi-provider API), UP'CDG (HR management suite for French Centres de Gestion, with six modular sub-products), and Adden+ (RFID-enabled asset lifecycle management).

The technology stack centers on multi-database administration expertise and custom application development, complemented by the four in-house software products. Protectel is the most technically differentiated asset: a multi-provider API aggregating nine or more French and European data sources (Banque de France, Infogreffe, INPI, BODACC, Insee, Altares, Credit Safe, Elisphere, and others) into a single integration layer for AML screening, KYC/KYB checks, and continuous third-party monitoring. UP'CDG is hosted in ISO 27001-certified French infrastructure with GDPR-compliant data handling and NIS2 alignment for essential establishments. The firm holds no patents and reports no proprietary AI/ML models; competitive differentiation rests on domain specialization, regulatory localization, and long-term client relationships rather than novel technology.

Arketeam's revenue model combines professional services (project-based consulting and custom development, typically T&M) with subscription-based software licensing across the four proprietary products. All sales are quote-based with no public pricing; the go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales — senior consultants engage directly with PME, ETI, public organizations, and healthcare establishments through website contact forms and direct consultation, emphasizing continuity of relationship over transactional sales. Distribution is exclusively direct and domestic (France-only), with no marketplace or reseller channels. The firm is privately held as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with €210,000 share capital, no disclosed institutional investors, and no external funding rounds to date.
