The operational departments are: ● the Marketing Department, which carries out upstream strategic analysis (markets, competition) and processes involved in bringing products and services to the market;

● the Group Product Management and R&D Departments, which are in charge of the development and maintenance of products and their subsequent upgrades; ● the Global Customer Services Department which provides clients with telephone assistance and support, and the Professional Services teams, who provide support for users in installing and implementing the solutions sold and provide assistance in using them; ● the Sales Department, which consists of the Group’s software package sales teams. These global departments have regional or national structures below them: ● Regional Marketing operations (EMEA, North America, APAC); ● Development and Support Centers (France, North America, Romania, Bulgaria and India); ● Sales Subsidiaries (sales and services in eight countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia).
