Arche Informatique

What Arche Informatique does

Arche Informatique is a France-headquartered, founder-owned IT consulting and software firm established in 1995, operating from Villennes-sur-Seine with 11–50 employees. The company delivers two productized offerings — B2Suite, a proprietary test-automation platform that injects data flows and validates outputs without requiring programming skills, and Be2Smart, a generative-AI add-on launched in August 2025 that analyzes functional documentation to propose new test cases — alongside professional services in IT project direction, architecture audits, and systems integration. Its commercial model blends one-time B2Suite licensing, recurring Be2Smart subscriptions, and time-and-materials consulting engagements, with sovereign hosting (on-premise, private cloud, SecNumCloud) available for regulated buyers.

The company's commercial focus is squarely on the banking and financial-infrastructure vertical: named references include Euronext, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Malaysian Exchange (via a joint venture with Atos), LCH (formerly Clearnet), the Bank of France, the European Central Bank, and the T2S (Target 2 Securities) platform, where B2Suite has been in production for 8+ years. Claims include an 80% reduction in IT project testing costs and a 5x compression of testing time (1 day automated vs. 5 days manual). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with free proof-of-concept engagements targeting DSIs and CIOs at large banks, clearing houses, stock exchanges, and insurance firms. Geographies served include France, the UK, Japan, and Malaysia, leveraging fully remote engineering staff for client delivery.

Arche Informatique positions itself as a senior, boutique firm with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and a 70% employee tenure rate above five years. Its differentiators are domain specialization in exchange and clearing systems, a no-code testing methodology, and multi-year customer retention in regulated environments. Material gaps in transparency — undisclosed revenue, ARR, headcount trend, customer concentration mix, and pricing — limit external valuation precision.

Core offering

Arche Informatique provides IT project consulting and develops B2Suite, a proprietary test automation platform that enables non-developer users (MOA, MOE) to execute automated test scenarios via data flow (flux) injection and output validation. The platform is enhanced by Be2Smart, a generative AI module that analyzes existing test scenarios and functional documentation to detect under-tested zones and propose new test cases, reducing IT project testing costs by an estimated 80%.

Product overview

Arche Informatique offers a two-product portfolio centered on B2Suite, its core software testing automation platform, supplemented by Be2Smart, an AI enhancement module that uses generative AI to optimize test campaign design. B2Suite provides automated test execution via injection and output validation for applications, enabling MOA and MOE teams to run non-regression and functional tests without developer skills. Be2Smart connects to B2Suite as an AI companion, analyzing existing scenarios to detect gaps and generate new test cases for improved functional coverage. Both products are offered alongside IT consulting services for strategy, project management, and outsourcing in banking/finance sectors.
