What dsiactive does

The company provides outsourced information systems leadership and digital transformation advisory services to small and medium-sized enterprises (PME) and micro-businesses (TPE) across France. It is accredited as the digital transformation node of the GROUPEACTIVE national network of five specialized expert sub-networks and is referenced as an "activateur" on the France Num public initiative for SME digital transformation. The founder and sole operator, Jean-Marc DETREZ, brings 30 years of experience in information systems, telecommunications, enterprise digital transformation, and public subsidy research.

The service portfolio comprises eight core offerings: DSI à temps partagé (part-time IT director), digital transformation consulting, cybersecurity and GDPR advisory, information systems strategy, digital strategy, dematerialization and flow optimization, crisis management, and post-cyberattack forensic analysis and remediation. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company delivers human advisory and consulting services only.

Distribution is entirely direct-to-client, with visibility generated through LinkedIn, Twitter, and the France Num public platform.

The business operates on a project-based and ongoing advisory consulting model, with quote-based pricing determined per engagement scope and multi-year contract cadences. Revenue is derived from professional service fees for advisory, implementation support, and interim management of IT functions. The company is entirely founder-owned, with no external investors, no institutional backing, and a stated headcount of one (the founder).
