Sales - 2024

Sale of Infineo to Sage Group

Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), strengthens its reporting and business intelligence capabilities by acquiring Infineo, a specialist in business intelligence reporting and data visualization solutions for companies.

With this acquisition, Infineo's reporting solutions will be integrated into Sage's portfolio, creating a seamless customer experience. These cutting-edge products offer an intuitive interface and dynamic dashboards that can be customized and accessed from any device. Infineo's solutions are distinguished by their integration with Microsoft Office 365, facilitating comprehensive analysis of data reports. Combined with Sage, these solutions will enable customers to work with their data more effectively, enabling faster decision-making, while powering more efficient results using accurate, real-time data.

Infineo is a long-standing Sage partner, and its solutions are already integrated with many Sage products in France, including Sage Active, Sage 100, FRP1000 and Sage Paie&RH. The integration of Infineo's solutions into the Sage suite gives customers immediate access to reporting tools that provide an overview of operations within the Sage environment.

“We are delighted to welcome Infineo to the Sage family. This acquisition marks a decisive step in the technological evolution of Sage’s reporting capabilities, helping to eliminate the complexities associated with financial reporting and providing our customers with a simplified, secure and scalable solution,” said Arnaud Petit, General manager of Sage Southern Europe.

“Our solutions are ready for significant growth, and Sage is the ideal home for Infineo’s products and people. I look forward to seeing this solution adopted by more companies, as it meets a growing need for complete, real-time access to data, enabling finance teams to make informed decisions”, commented Eric Affaticati, CEO of Infineo.

Nathanaël Blanc, Director at Largillière Finance, comments: “ Building cross-border operations (France-UK-USA) always proves complex. We are very proud to have successfully built this strategic operation. The quality of Infineo’s teams and their strategic vision contributed greatly to the success of this operation. We are delighted to have been able to leverage our expertise to support them in their development objectives”.

With more than 40 employees, a strong international presence and nearly 30 operations in 2023, Largillière Finance confirms its leader position in small and midcap in France.
