Four Decades Of Technological Excellence And Leadership

Sogeti 1967
Sogeti Present

Defining an Industry Leader:

While you may not realize it, our company name does have significant meaning. Sogeti was founded on October 1, 1967 by Serge Kampf, who recognized the need for technical support in the French market. Kampf wanted the company name to reflect the value of our services.

Sogeti, stands for “Société pour la Gestion de l’ Entreprise et le Traitement de l’ Information”, translates as “a company specializing in information management and processing.”

Our Past Defines Our Future:

Many clients also ask us about our logo. While it has transformed over the years, the red spade remains the symbol for our company. Why? The ace of spades is the highest card value in bridge, a game that Kampf often played, and red was selected to represent the dynamic enthusiasm that he wanted in the company.

In addition to defining our brand, Kampf also defined our management principles which still lead our passion, commitment to excellence and business decisions today.

  • Entrepreneurial Culture — Thinking outside the box for innovative ideas
  • Decentralization — Ensuring autonomy to our employees in decision making and actions to encourage self-determination
  • Independence — Empowering our consultants by entrusting them to best represent Sogeti in all business transactions
  • Profitability — Offering unbeatable solutions of the highest quality, in order to grow financially
  • Cost Effective Business Model — Providing the best solutions to our clients while continuing to be affordable
  • Honesty — Sharing the truth to maintain the integrity of our name

Our Evolution to Today:

Sogeti incurred quite a few changes through the years. Through the process of acquiring numerous different businesses, we experienced a transforming evolution that distinguished the Sogeti of 1967 to the Sogeti that is today.
