18 July 2011 SQLI Atlantique: the partnership between the Nantes and Bordeaux branches is bearing fruit!

SQLI Atlantique relies on the synergy between its activities

Created in 2010 as the result of a partnership between SQLI Nantes & SQLI Bordeaux, the Atlantique Division employs more than 210 staff focussing on innovative technologies, led by Jean-Paul Meilhanne. SQLI Atlantique, which extends from Brest to Hendaye, via Niort – the home of French mutual insurance companies – has become one of the main players in the western France region.

A “win-win” merger

The Atlantique Division of SQLI has experienced a great deal of success ever since it was established. Indeed, the results of this combination of large-scale markets – both regional and national - include: high added-value service centres, e-commerce websites, high-tech packages combining business expertise with innovative technologies, and consultancy (project management assistance for project owners).

The beneficiaries of this merger are:

• SQLI Atlantique, which becomes a major player on the regional market and benefits from the synergy of these activities,
• teams, which benefit from increased interaction and synergies. Staff numbers have risen (from 170 to 215).
• clients, who can rely on a cross-functional range of expertise: the Atlantique Division relies on the synergy between its two branches and the support of the Group to provide its clients with integrated, cross-functional solutions that precisely meet their needs. What’s more, the Atlantique Division intends to continue developing its two sites (Nantes and Bordeaux) in order to be closer to its clients.

Five complementary business sectors

The Atlantique Division’s support is divided into five areas, which complement each other perfectly: Web agency & e-Commerce, Methodological Consultancy, Technological Consultancy, Developed Services Centre and a Training Centre.

• Web agency & e-Commerce: the web agency specialises in the field of ubimedia and the user experience. Beyond this, and in order to respond to increasing market demand, SQLI Atlantique has created a unit focussing 100% on e-Commerce solutions; this department currently represents one of the flagship activities on the Nantes site. It employs experts in the technological principles of e-commerce, including the Open-Source Magento or hybris solution, as well as in CMS (Content Management Systems).
• Methodological Consultancy: SQLI has enjoyed an excellent reputation in this field for many years: CMMI & Agile, Six Sigma, etc.
• Technological Consultancy: SQLI is one of the leaders in this market. As the authors of numerous publications, its experts decipher technologies and apply a pragmatic approach to their implementation.
• Developed Services Centre: Three years ago, Bordeaux created its first “CDSi” – a new ITC multi-technology production division. This division has grown ever since and has been an outstanding success, employing 4 times its original number of staff (which has risen from 15 to 60).
• “High Level” Training Centre: the Atlantique Division provides “bespoke” services involving project methodology, requirements management, risk management, support for publishers’ certifications, adaptive frameworks, etc.

The focus of development

SQLI Atlantique’s development strategy has been confirmed by the numerous contracts it has won, and is demonstrated by the expansion of the Bordeaux branch’s Service Centre and the forthcoming relocation of the Nantes branch.

Today, SQLI Atlantique is continuing to invest in high added-value services whilst demonstrating its desire to move fast, specifically by significantly increasing its workforce.
