This growth of the omnichannel need brought our market into a whole new era. Many of our competitors merge with traditional actors born at the time of client-server, offline communication…. We chose to rebuild the landscape by federating the strongest “native” assets of our ecosystem, such as CleverToday.
We now share our GAO (Great Ambitious Objective): bring about from our « Web oldies » generation a global scale leader covering the digital chain, from consultancy to implementation (e-commerce, PIM/DAM, CIAM/CRM, Marketing Automation, Mobile, …).
Having a strong presence in Europe, Asia and North America, we are mainly focusing on accelerating our organic expansion while remaining uncompromising regarding our values :
- Independence, vital to consultancy
- Conviction, essential to our deliverables
