RTO Conseil

What RTO Conseil does

RTO Conseil is a French IT consulting and software integration firm headquartered in Parignargues, founded in 1997 by Guy Rodier and operating as a SARL with €7,800 of capital. The firm serves a narrow client base of approximately 40-50 EHPADs (elderly care homes) along with adjacent public-sector accounts, delivering outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services aligned with French RGPD regulation and CNIL guidance. Its core offering combines regulatory advisory with a proprietary compliance register, OpenRegistreDPO, and packaged solutions for intranet, mail/records management, cemetery administration, facility maintenance, and firefighter-SDIS workflows.

The firm's technology stack is built around reselling and integrating third-party software — GSite (intranet, via ID-Alizés), OpenCourrier (mail management, via OPEN SMART SOFTWARE), OpenCimetiere, RégieCol, and SOIP-MS — wrapped with the firm's own DPO tooling and consulting. Revenue mechanics mix recurring DPO mandates (which embed switchover cost through data inventories, processing registers, and ongoing CNIL reporting) with project-based deployment of partner software and DataDock-certified professional training. The firm does not disclose headcount, indicating a lean, likely network-based operating model anchored on the founder.

Commercially, RTO Conseil goes to market primarily through integration partnerships with its two principal software vendors rather than direct sales. The business has operated continuously for over 27 years without disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or leadership transitions, suggesting a stable but small-scale consulting practice rather than a venture-backed growth profile. Visibility into revenue, headcount, and recent strategic activity is limited; investors should treat the firm as a sub-scale specialist operator with deep but narrow domain positioning.
