Our solutions for the services and finance sector

The huge service sector, including banking and insurance, is part of the tertiary sector as defined by INSEE, i.e., neither industrial nor agricultural. The rise of online commerce and customer reviews has transformed the lives of companies that market products, processes, and intellectual or manual services.

This disruption has redrawn the contours of quality initiatives and established the concept of reputation at the intersection of quality, CSR, responsible purchasing, and digital transformation. The advent of artificial intelligence is once again calling into question the concept of trust.

Some key figures for the sector

  • 33,526 bank branches in France
  • 16,850 hotels
  • 714,600 commercial enterprises
  • 581 insurance organizations
