CCO

What CCO does

CCO is a French regional IT services company (SARL) founded in 2016 by Cédric Couderc and headquartered in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron. The company operates from a single site in central Villefranche-de-Rouergue — relocated there in 2021 from a business incubator — and serves professionals, small and medium businesses, and local authorities (collectivités) across the Aveyron / Occitanie region with a compact team of approximately six collaborators.

Its offering is structured around three service pillars: Infrastructure (IT park management or infogérance, cybersecurity, hardware resale of Dell/Apple/HPE, and backup/disaster recovery with Veeam), Cloud (Microsoft 365 deployment, externalized backup, open-source ERP hosting, and website hosting with domain provisioning), and Custom Development (bespoke web and mobile applications using MySQL, PHP, Symfony, React, Flutter, and Power Automate, delivered via agile methodology). An Assistance module provides remote support through a downloadable client application. All technology is built on mainstream enterprise vendors and open-source frameworks; there is no proprietary platform or AI component.

CCO generates revenue through a mix of recurring managed-service contracts (infogérance, cloud backup, hosting), hardware pass-through sales, and project-based professional services for custom development. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: clients are reached via the company website, phone, email, and word-of-mouth referrals within the local business community. The company is founder-controlled with €1,000 of registered capital, no external investors, no disclosed debt, and no public revenue figures.
