Hi Group

What Hi Group does

Hi Group SARL is a privately held French technology and consulting firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Pantin (Paris), with an operational office in Casablanca, Morocco serving francophone African markets. The company delivers Data, AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity solutions through two service models — on-demand expert staffing and end-to-end turnkey project delivery — alongside IT consulting. Its stated delivery force is 50+ certified experts credentialed across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Databricks, and Snowflake, with engagement durations ranging from one week to twelve months and a 48-hour expert integration commitment.

The firm has productized two proprietary SaaS offerings. BigBi is a no-code, drag-and-drop ETL platform built on Apache Spark that lets enterprises design, deploy, and scale data pipelines without writing code, with native connectors to MySQL, PostgreSQL, S3, Azure Blob, and Salesforce. GraphAsk is an AI-powered data visualization tool that accepts natural-language queries in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish and returns auto-generated charts, anomaly detection, and predictive insights. Both products support on-premise and private-cloud deployment to meet data-sovereignty requirements, and the firm markets GDPR-native compliance, end-to-end encryption, and automatic anonymization as structural differentiators versus US hyperscaler-native analytics tools.

Hi Group's commercial model blends time-and-materials expert staffing, fixed-scope turnkey projects, and monthly subscription SaaS, with custom quote-based pricing and a 24-hour response guarantee on consultation requests. Customers are enterprise and government — Banque de France, Société Générale, Huawei, OCP Group, IQVIA, MAP, and the Ministère de l'Agriculture de Mauritanie are publicly named — and the firm claims 100+ delivered projects across finance, public sector, healthcare, industry, and telecom. Leadership is anchored by Issam Hamaoui as Directeur Technique; the ownership structure is not publicly disclosed and no institutional funding rounds appear in the available record.

Direct peers

• Alteryx: Alteryx provides no-code/low-code data preparation and ETL with drag-and-drop workflows. Closest direct competitor to BigBi on ease-of-use and visual pipeline building for enterprise users.
• ThoughtSpot: ThoughtSpot delivers AI-powered analytics with natural-language querying and automated insights. Closely comparable to GraphAsk's NL-to-visualization approach for business users.
• Databricks: Databricks offers a unified data lakehouse with Apache Spark–based ETL and AI/ML workflows. Directly comparable to BigBi's Spark-based no-code ETL positioning and competes for the same enterprise data engineering budget.
• Palantir: Palantir provides enterprise data integration and analytics platforms with strong data sovereignty and on-premise deployment options. Comparable to Hi Group's sovereign analytics positioning for regulated European clients.

Emerging players

• KNIME: KNIME offers open-source visual data science and ETL workflows. Comparable to BigBi's drag-and-drop approach, particularly for European customers with data sovereignty preferences.
• Keboola: Keboola is a cloud-native data ops platform with no-code ETL and AI capabilities. Comparable emerging challenger to BigBi in the mid-market no-code ETL category.

Broad incumbents

• Tableau: Tableau is the established leader in data visualization and BI. GraphAsk competes in the same buyer conversation; BigBi integrates with Tableau as an export target.
• Snowflake: Snowflake is a cloud data platform with broad enterprise reach. Hi Group holds Snowflake certifications and competes indirectly where data platform + analytics bundle against Hi Group's services-plus-BigBi stack.
• Microsoft Power BI: Power BI is the default enterprise BI tool, integrated with the Azure stack. Hi Group's Azure partnership and Power BI integration make it both a partner and competitor for GraphAsk-style AI viz.

Regional players

• Devoteam: Devoteam is a France-headquartered IT consultancy with strong cloud and data practices across Europe and Morocco. Comparable regional competitor in the French/Moroccan enterprise services market where Hi Group operates.
