What Ip-studio does

ip-studio SARL is a privately-held French software company, headquartered in Le Bourget (93 rue du Commandant Rolland), that develops and sells broadcast automation and content management software for radio and television stations. Founded in 1995 and structured as a SARL (RCS Bobigny B 411 021 637), the company has operated continuously for over thirty years in a narrow vertical, accumulating domain specialization in French and European broadcasting.

The company's core offering is ip-suite, a platform-plus-modules architecture covering the full radio/TV workflow: ip-vdesk for visual desk automation, ip-ikey for sound library management, ip-pressplay for algorithmic music programming, ip-plan for content planning and scheduling, ip-chat for collaborative team exchanges, ip-mediamanager for media editing and montage, ip-miniseek for data reconciliation, ip-screener for call and listener management, and ip-desktop for rights and version management. The company also offers Studio Zero, a cloud-virtualized studio solution that extends the on-premise stack into a SaaS/cloud deployment model.

ip-studio generates revenue through software licensing (described in source data as subscription-recurring), bundled professional services, and Qualiopi-certified training courses that are eligible for French public training-fund reimbursement (e.g., AFDAS). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with a bilingual (French/English) website and dedicated contact channels for commercial demand and technical support; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds Qualiopi certification since June 2022 (renewed June 2025) issued by AFNOR Certification. No headcount, revenue, funding, M&A, or partnership data is publicly disclosed.
