In the last six months, Pentalog has received a great deal of invitations to participate in numerous competitions and rankings in France, as well as outside our borders. This is the sign of a certain recognition of our business model, of our performances and our positioning. Through these requests, it is our brand awareness and our capacity for innovation that are emphasized. Here is a brief retrospective of the last few months during which we have prepared application files, answered strategic and technological questionnaires:
- Entrepreneur of the Year Award: in April 2010, Frédéric Lasnier was personally nominated for the Top 100 – Entrepreneur of the Year Award, organized by L’Entreprise magazine, Ernst & Young and the French newspaper les Echos. The regional jury will meet in July and Frédéric will be at the Garnier Opera next September or the awarding of the national prizes.
- Business Strategy Award: in May 2010, Pentalog was a finalist of the 4th edition of the Business Strategy Award under the sponsorship of the French Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment. Among the 137 candidate companies, Pentalog has qualified to the national final for the award of prizes. We thank the ESSEC students who are accompanying us. Pentalog will be at Bercy on June 9th for the awards ceremony.
- Deloitte Technology Fast 500: in November 2009, Pentalog was a laureate of the 2009 European Deloitte Technoloy Fast 500. This is the first time that Pentalog enters this prestigious ranking which is made up of the 500 technological companies of the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) with the highest increase in sales figures over the last five fiscal years, from 2004 to 2008. Pentalog had a 391% rate of growth during this period. In 2008, Pentalog had obtained the “Coup de Coeur” special prize of Deloitte Technology Fast 50 for the Western part of France. We are going to compete again this year for Fast 50 and Fast 500.
- Innovation Trophies: November 2009, 5th edition of Innovation Trophies organized by Syntec informatique and Orange Business Services. Pentalog distinguished itself among 40 projects and was one of the 16 candidates chosen for the trophy awards.
- Enterprises and the Information Society Trophies: in May 2010, the 10th edition of Enterprises and Information Society Trophies organized by Le Monde informatique and CIO, which reward the best IT projects of 2009. Pentalog was chosen on the list of winners and nominated for one category. Aymeric Libeau will be present at the awards ceremony on May 20th.
- European Business Awards: April 2010, Pentalog was invited to the first selection round to represent France at the European Business Awards 2010, whose objective is to promote excellence, best practices and innovation within the European business community. Seven thousand companies are assessed for this selection, from large multinational companies to growing small and medium-sized enterprises.
Of course, we will communicate the results as soon as they are announced. Finally, one should also keep in mind that Pentalog has been a member of the IE Club beginning with 2010. Frédéric Lasnier has also accompanied the French Prime Minister François Fillon to Vietnam last November together with a large delegation of French business owners.
In short, Pentalog has put technological, financial and social innovation at the heart of its practices and today, this profitable strategy receives the recognition of the high business spheres; we are delighted.

In this climate of considerable uncertainty which characterizes the beginning of 2010, the Pentalog Group is maintaining a provisional growth rate of at least 20% throughout this quarter. This figure is slightly insufficient to meet the objectives of the plan 30-2013, but will meet and even exceed the objective of the plan 14-2010, given the exceptional prevailing activities throughout the year 2009 (+50%).
In January and February, business has been particularly hectic with the conclusion of several new business affairs in France, Germany and Austria. In France, Pentalog has signed an initial deal in January (for a fixed price project, to be developed in Hanoi, Vietnam), which will start in February, with a company from Sofia Antipolis. Production operations also were launched with a leader of free ads in Paris (to be developed at the Competence Center in Iasi, Romania) and with a software company in the tourism sector in Lille (with development also at the Competence Center in Iasi, Romania). Furthermore from Lille, a subsidiary of a well known telecom operator has placed an order with Pentalog to put into operation a small new Competence Center in PHP along with another-one in Java. With clients in Ile de France, in the West, South West, South, Southeast and Northeast, our operations now cover almost all of the French territory.
In Austria, Apa IT (the IT department of the Austrian Press Agency) who is already a Pentalog client has ordered a new Competence Center, to be located in Sibiu, Romania.
In Germany, LHS-Ericsson (Frankfurt) has also increased the size of its Competence Center and this is being done in two stages, going from 12 to 25 employees. 6 new engineers have already joined the team in February.
The total number of business proposals established in the first quarter could exceed the previous record and it will help sustain a higher growth rate. All the new sale services and online references are definitely having their effect.
