mairie arles

What mairie arles does

Mairie d'Arles is a French municipal government entity (collectivité territoriale) administering the city of Arles in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, operating under French public law. As a publicly governed administrative body rather than a commercial enterprise, it has approximately 95 listed employees and serves the residents of Arles through standard municipal functions including land use administration, electoral management, cemetery administration, mail/correspondence management, and public-establishment safety inspection.

Mairie d'Arles is also a contributing member of the openMairie open-source software consortium, alongside other French municipalities and atReal (the firm that leads openMairie framework development). The Arles IT and administrative teams contribute code, beta-testing, and module specifications for a portfolio that has grown to include openTaxePub (advertising tax), openEcole (school accompaniment), openRéussiteÉducative (educational success), openARIA (fire/accessibility risk analysis with geolocation), openElec (electoral lists), openRésultat (electoral results), and other applications. Contributions are publicly dated from 2012 through at least 2020.

The underlying technology is the openMairie PHP framework, with products designed for multi-collectivity deployment, WMS/WFS-standard GIS interoperability, and PHP 7.1+ compatibility. The business model is non-commercial: software is distributed free of charge via open-source forges (ADULLACT domestically and OSOR at the European level), with no publicly disclosed pricing. Commercial activity around the ecosystem is carried out by third-party service providers such as atReal (development) and RTO Conseil (implementation and support), while Mairie d'Arles itself acts as user, contributor, and pilot municipality rather than vendor. Revenue and funding metrics are not applicable to the public-sector entity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Civica: Large UK-based software and outsourcing provider for the public sector, including local government ERP, regulatory, and administrative solutions. Comparable in target customer (local authorities) and broad functional coverage, though operates as a commercial vendor at much larger scale.
• Tyler Technologies: Major US-listed provider of software and services for municipalities, counties, and state governments. Covers ERP, permitting (comparable to openADS), and citizen services (comparable to openCourrier). Public sector ERP incumbent at significantly larger scale than openMairie.
• Granicus: Established US-based government technology provider offering communication, agenda management, and digital services for municipalities. Overlapping functionality with openCourrier and openElec/openScrutin for managing citizen-facing and legislative workflows.
• Aareon: Leading European provider of ERP and digital solutions for the social housing and property management sectors, including municipal clients. Comparable European footprint and target customer profile, particularly relevant given openMairie's housing-related modules.
• Wolters Kluwer Governance, Risk & Compliance: Global provider of governance, risk, compliance, and regulatory software with significant local-government and public-sector exposure. Comparable in serving regulatory and compliance workflows for municipal administrations, though at much broader enterprise scale.

Direct peers

• atReal: Lead developer of the openMairie framework since 2003 and the closest operating peer to Mairie d'Arles' software activities. Specializes in free/libre software for enterprises and local governments, and is the de facto commercial steward of the ecosystem Mairie d'Arles contributes to.
• Sages Informatique: French vendor of management software specifically for local governments (collectivités locales). Direct peer in the French municipal software market, offering comparable ERP-style applications for finance, electoral, and administrative workflows.
• OpenGov: US-based provider of cloud ERP and financial management software specifically designed for state and local governments. Directly comparable to openMairie's public-sector ERP positioning, though OpenGov is a commercial/SaaS model rather than open source.

Others

• ADULLACT: French association (Association des Développeurs du Logiciel Libre pour les Administrations et les Collectivités Territoriales) hosting the openMairie forge infrastructure. Ecosystem enabler and infrastructure peer rather than direct competitor, but central to the openMairie distribution model.

Emerging players

• Questica: Specialized budgeting and financial planning software provider for the public sector, including municipalities and educational institutions. Comparable in targeting municipal back-office modernization with focus on financial workflows analogous to openPortailFinances.
