What Soluris does

Soluris is a public-sector IT syndicate (Syndicat Mixte) headquartered in Saintes, France, founded in 1985 and serving approximately 545 member municipalities across the Charente-Maritime and Deux-Sèvres departments in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The organization provides mutualized digital services to French territorial local governments, functioning as a shared infrastructure and procurement vehicle for its members rather than as a commercial vendor. Its core offering combines three subscription layers: an annual membership contribution (covering governance representation and shared procurement exemption), a Forfait Métiers for back-office management software, and a Forfait Technologies for IT security and infrastructure.

The technology stack centers on the Cosoluce management software suite (finance, payroll, invoicing, civil status, census, elections), the GED&ON collaborative document management and electronic signature platform, electronic transmission tiers (Actes, Hélios), RGS electronic certificates, and a mutualized cybersecurity layer including antivirus subscriptions, server supervision, automatic backup, and equipment loans. Recent additions include the Leexi AI meeting assistant and the SecuriPhone emergency call terminal (developed with partner Skipple). The organization also operates a 16-year-old IT equipment recycling program with ACT Service and Ecosystem, and holds the Expert Cyber label from Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr.

Soluris operates on a subscription-recurring revenue model with annual billing cycles, supplemented by paid training for non-members. As a public syndicate governed by an elected Comité Syndical (most recently renewed July 1, 2026 with President Francis Ludwig), it is institutionally embedded in the French local government ecosystem and affiliated with national networks including AMF, FNCCR, and Déclic/OPSN. There is no equity funding, no parent company, and no commercial resale channel; growth is driven by member acquisition and expansion of the service catalog within the existing membership base.
