Patrick Bertrand
Chief Executive Officers
In 2005, the Cegid group imposed itself at the top of
the line as a publisher of enterprise business solutions
in France. Backed with this success and the excellent
results recorded in 2005, Cegid now wants to accelerate
its growth in France and internationally, by taking the
concrete expectations of its customers into account...
customers who want to rely on a solid IT partner in
order to reinforce their competitiveness in a context
where the competition is stiff.
A flexible and secure hosting and service policy, indepth knowledge of their profession with a large range
of software that meets the users’ expectations, local
presence that is indispensable for constructive and
constant dialog, and support in their development
internationally: as many exact needs expressed by the
customers as Cegid wants to respond to.
Cegid’s development for the years to come is articulated
around four strategic axes.
Develop a Publisher/Hoster aspect for
management solutions
Cegid’s offering makes use of modern technology,
incorporating into a single software approach, all of
the latest innovations in business intelligence, and
pertaining to collaborative efforts and the Internet.
This technology makes it possible for Cegid to
provide its customers with an ERP, Cegid Business,
as well as referenced solutions on the market in terms
of Corporate Performance Management, Human
Resources Management and Finance/Taxation. This
technological advance and Ccmx’s expertise in terms of
hosting allows the entire offering, traditionally offered in
Insourcing mode (installed at the customer’s), to now be
offered with the most appropriate method of access for
the operations of the customer: Insourcing, outsourcing
(hosted solution) or ASP (leasing mode) with reversibility
among the various access methods. This development
provides the company with an undeniable competitive
advantage by simplifying installation and deployment
of enterprise solutions for the Group’s customers.
Satisfy the professional stakes of our customers
Since it was created, the Cegid group has taken into
account the core business dimension of its customers
by verticalizing its offering of business software aimed
in particular at the following business sectors: audit and
chartered public accountants, fashion professionals,
manufacturing companies, services, retail, construction,
hotel-restaurant or specialized businesses. Cegid
intends to continue and develop this approach by
profession. The recent acquisition of GTI Industrie and
PMI Soft, specialized publishers in the area of industry
manufacturing, bear witness to this strong ambition.
Reinforce our local presence with our customers
Geographical nearness is the key to a close-working
relationship between Cegid and its customers. In
order to further develop this local presence, Cegid has
supplemented its network of 39 sales agencies by an
indirect network which enjoyed a lot of development
in 2005, and today the number of resellers/integrators
has reached 160. Beyond that, over 7,000 members of
the Chartered Accountant Profession, customers of the
Group, can advise their customers on setting up Cegid
solutions. Cegid would like, through the development
of these distribution networks, that each customer in
the Group be in contact with a local contact.
Develop our presence internationally
Our customers are going international. We need to be
at their side and support them in their growth. Cegid
solutions have already been deployed in over 1,400 sites
in over 30 countries via our subsidiaries in Spain and in
the United States or via our distributors in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Italy and soon in China. The
offering, which is already available in English, Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese and German, is now available in
Mandarin Chinese. In 2006, Cegid is going to reinforce
this presence abroad. The Group wants to be close to
its customers which are deploying abroad and in 2006
we will continue our initiatives to support them.
In 2006, the Group benefits from increased financial
soundness, from 2,000 motivated and skilled employees,
from referenced financial and technological partners
and from excellent expertise on the needs of « MiddleMarket » companies and groups of companies.
Beyond this, Cegid can rely on an installed base of more
than 80,000 customer sites, representing a recurring
revenue portfolio of over €100 million a year, and on true
know-how in terms of external growth and integration
of companies to accelerate the growth of the Group in
France and internationally and play a front-stage role
among the European publishers.
