Key Milestones

The tabs below walk you in a few lines through the essence of d²X Expertise’s history...

 

In December, d²X Expertise is listed in the Commercial Register of Lyon.

 

 

The first assignment starts in Lyon in March.

d²X Expertise buckles its first annual financial year with... a profit!

 

In partnership with an international services company, d²X Expertise wins two multi-year contracts with two major accounts in the Rhône-Alpes region.

An additional agency (Swiss law) is created in GENEVA in the spring, followed at the end of the year by an agency in Ile de France.

 

The activity Ile de France is taking off; The Lyon and Geneva branches are continuing their development by signing contract with key accounts and international SMEs.

Initially built around delegating management services, the offer is enriched based on two axes: the IT departments’ operations portfolio management performance and the individual and collective efficiency of the employees & management.

The total of the group's paid employees exceeds 30 FTE.

 

Our geographic agencies continue to develop; The group exceeds € 4.5 million in consolidated sales, with an employed workforce of over 40 FTE at the end of the year.

In the spring, the structure is reinforced with a cross-recruitment profile followed in the autumn by the setup of a first agency dedicated to the health sector, with strong expertise in mutualisation and rationalization issues, is created.

d²X Expertise is now structured as a consulting company.

 

With 15% growth, d²X Expertise continues its development despite a lacklustre market in Europe; The number of employees now exceeds 60 FTEs.
The organization continues to evolve, notably by :

  • the opening of an agency dedicated to banking customers in Switzerland,
  • the arrival of a second Account Manager in the Ile de France agency,
  • the reinforcement of recruitment resources.

On two occasions during the year, major account customers officially testify their satisfaction during trade shows.

 

2014 has been a good “vintage” year for d²X Expertise. It will be remembered mostly for :

  • an ever-growing turnover (nearly 7€ million over the year),
  • the unanimous positive feedback from our customers on the quality of our services,
  • the development of our proposals (opening of new major account customers, increase in referrals, registration in the PMI register, etc.)
  • the successful establishment of our entity in SINGAPORE in the spring,
  • continued structuring of the group: business management, finance and controlling, recruitment.

 

The financial exercise showed again a very strong growth (around 30%, for a turnover of 8 950 k €). At the end of 2015, d²X has nearly 100 employees, 80 of which are consultants.

The group decided to create yet another agency in MONTREAL - effective in the fall - to address the local Quebec market and ultimately the North American market.

The renewed confidence of our customers allowed us to start the year with a solid backlog.

With a consolidated turnover of € 9.4 million, 2016 was a transition year. However the average annual growth over the last 3 years is still more than 12% which is satisfactory.

The year saw an improvement in our margins on contracts, allowing us to continue our investments. Our positioning is more attractive than ever for major contractors: 6 of them have joined the d²X customer club.

Finally, we will note on our agencies :

  • A good business in Switzerland despite tough market conditions,
  • The good start of our new entity on the West of France, created end of year.

The Group's turnover amounts to 11.6 M€, for an annual growth of more than 20% (note the good start of the "d²X Ouest" activity). The number of employees at the end of the year exceeded 100 salaried consultants.

Several principals have set up sourcing schemes aimed at separating "massified" services from "piloting" and business development services. 9 new accounts were added to the ranks of d²X's clients.

The group was able to continue its 2020 business plan :

  • the organization of the PARIS's based activity into sector-based agencies,
  • the creation, at the end of the year, of a "Grand Est" activity,
  • the arrival of an HR Director on the Management Committee,
  • the implementation of a management ERP.

The 2018 financial year is a year of transition to the 2020 business plan, characterized by significant self-financed investments, with a low operating result as a counterpart.

Efforts focused mainly on the Group's commercial development in Paris (arrival of 4 new managers, increased recruitment).

The acquisition of new listings in France accounts for the bulk of the group's growth (12% overall, 25% in France), and overall sales for the year came to €13 million.

The cash position is under control and the level of unpaid debts at the end of the financial year is low: the Banque de France rewards this good management by awarding d²X Expertise a G4+ rating.

Following are the three key facts of the year 2019 :

  • Global revenue grown by 25% including more than 30% for our Parisian activities,
  • Launched 3 new entities to complement our historical positioning,
  • Increased our profitability, in line with our 2025 Strategic Plan.

On the other hand, we continued to recruit seasoned consultants with track records aligned with our core business while strengthening our capabilities for cross-functional intervention at our clients with PMO and Change Management.

The financial situation is well handled thanks to the new organisation of our Admin and Financial department as well as the excellent administrative and management’s performance of our clients, mainly MNC.
