What OBIONE does

OBIONE is a French digital transformation agency incorporated on 30 January 2020 as a Société par actions simplifiée à associé unique (SAS), headquartered at 81 Boulevard Pierre 1er, 33110 Le Bouscat, with €5,000 share capital and operating as a subsidiary of the ONEINVEST group alongside parent OneBase Solutions. The firm provides end-to-end digital services — strategy, UX/UI design, custom web development, maintenance, and quality assurance — targeted at French government institutions and large enterprises, with documented compliance capability around RGAA accessibility, RGPD, OWASP security, and W3C web standards. Named reference clients span banking (BNP Paribas, Caisse des Dépôts), transportation (Transdev), entertainment (Disneyland Paris), and government (Ministère de la Culture, Mobilier National).

The agency's technical foundation is an open-source web development stack centered on PHP and the Symfony framework, with React, Vue.js, and AngularJS frontends and infrastructure tooling including Docker, Varnish, Redis, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. Layered on top of the agency services is a portfolio of four proprietary in-house products: BackBee (an open-source WYSIWYG CMS used to power the OBIONE website itself), PublishPaper (PDF-to-HTML5 interactive publication), OneBase PIM (Product Information Management positioned as the #1 PIM for wholesale/retail), and SimpleOne (PIM/DAM for manufacturers/suppliers). The two public executive contacts — Arnaud Lebert (Commercial Direction & Associate) and Anne Cachot (Directrice générale & Associate) — also hold roles at OneBase Solutions, signaling tight integration with the parent.

Commercially, OBIONE operates an enterprise field-sales motion with no public pricing, no self-serve channels, and intake routed through phone lines and a website contact form. Revenue derives from a mix of project-based professional services (likely with retainer or TMA maintenance components) and distribution of proprietary software products within the ONEINVEST group. Geographic reach is described as Europe but is, in practice, concentrated in France; no funding rounds, revenue figures, or headcount disclosures beyond two named executives are available, framing OBIONE as a boutique operating unit within a broader group structure.
