Founded in 2011 as part of Groupe Havana, the company deploys approximately 200 experts across Application Development, Cloud and Infrastructure, and Data / AI practices. Service delivery is organized around multiple engagement models — assistance technique (on-site or remote staffing), régie co-pilotée, centres de services mutualisés, forfaits agile, Tierce Maintenance Applicative, co-développement applicatif, and Data Lab co-innovation — and is positioned as a sales-led, proximity-managed B2B offering targeting enterprise and mid-market clients undergoing digital transformation.

The company combines these services with a proprietary product portfolio developed in its Data Lab. IntactPrediction is a predictive analytics platform for anomaly detection deployed in industry, logistics, smart cities, mobility, and critical infrastructure; BizOps is a GenAI-enabled back-office automation platform for HR and commercial functions using LLM, RAG, and fine-tuning; GreenOps (launched 2022) is a sustainability assessment service for digital carbon footprint; and Eco-Move tracks employee travel carbon impact. Subsidiary Data2i contributes multi-cloud FinOps tooling (Azure, AWS, GCP) and adjacent operating capability. The firm operates as a SAS with €100,200 in capital, has no disclosed external equity backing, and reported no M&A activity in the available sources.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements plus productized offerings; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contract-specific, with a TJM (daily rate) negotiable per consultant profile (e.g., Expert Data). The company markets itself as a sales-led, proximity-driven firm using direct client engagement and a co-investment model for innovation projects, with MASE-UIC certification since 2019 supporting an environmental responsibility narrative. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed; named sectors span enterprise IT transformation, data-driven organizations, and operational technology / industrial operators.
