Happy New Year !

May 2019 be a year full of projects, collaborations and enthusiasm!

2018, a record year for OJC Consulting

2018 marked a new stage in the development of OJC Consulting, whose turnover reached €4M, having thus multiplied by four in two years. This growth is mainly based on a large group of customers and on the recognized expertise that OJC Consulting has developed in purchasing management, especially on the IVALUA solution.

The European market remains crucial for OJC Consulting, which has opened offices this year in Stockholm and Lausanne (after London and Berlin previously). The North American market is also a strong driver of international growth for OJC, since the USA and Canada accounted for one third of our activity in 2018.

We inaugurated in 2019 new offices in Washington and created a subsidiary in Montreal. Five consultants from OJC France have decided to relocate and settle on the other side of the Atlantic.

OJC Consulting partners with Kyriba

 OJC Consulting has just signed a strategic partnership with Kyriba, world leader in cash management. With more than 1,800 customers and 65,000 users in 100 countries, Kyriba is a secure cloud solution that facilitates the consolidation of bank statements, automates financial transactions and helps manage currency risks. With built-in connectivity to most banks and enterprise management solutions (ERP), Kyriba is primarily aimed at large groups and currently handles 17 million banking transactions every day.

This new partnership will enable OJC Consulting to support Kyriba in the deployment of its solution in Northern Europe (UK, Germany, Nordics) and Switzerland. By proposing consulting and integration services around Ivalua and Kyriba solutions, OJC Consulting addresses a very wide functional spectrum, covering all supplier relations (from Sourcing to Payment) and the management of financial operations.

Vannes : OJC Consulting expands its HQ

The building permit is granted and the call for tender is launched: OJC Consulting will double the surface of its headquarters, with a second building of 600 m² facing the University of Vannes (Brittany, France). Connected to the first one on two levels, this building completes the project designed in 2016 and will add: a gym and its locker rooms, a large central "lounge" for employees, and 400 m² of luxurious work spaces, with balconies and large windows.

OJC Consulting thus confirms the choice of Vannes, on the shores of the Gulf of Morbihan, for the location of its global headquarters, and ensures that it can continue to grow locally and accommodate the workforce of its subsidiaries for training courses or group events.

OJC Consulting supports a startup accelerator

OJC Consulting supports innovation and becomes a partner of Village by CA Morbihan, a start-up accelerator based in Vannes, member of a network of 30 "Villages" founded by the French bank "Crédit Agricole". The partners of "Village by CA" are concretely committed to the selected start-ups by sharing their expertise, and thus create an entrepreneurial ecosystem described by the motto of the Village: "Innovation through Cooperation".

Proof of the dynamism of this ecosystem, Veando, one of the start-ups selected by the Village by CA, won last week the contest "Start-up and citizenship" at the National Conference of the Citizenship in Rennes.
