Cegid SAS

Cegid SAS

Cegid SAS is a French enterprise software firm headquartered in Lyon, founded in 1983 under the name Cegid Group. The company provides cloud-based business management solutions including ERP, financial management, human capital management, and retail and hospitality software to midmarket organizations primarily in Europe. Cegid’s strategy centers on vertical-specific suites for finance, commerce, and people management. Its product line includes Cegid XRP Ultimate for ERP, Cegid People for HR and payroll, and Cegid Retail for omni-channel retail operations. The firm serves over 500,000 customers across France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Morocco. Deployments are typically on-premise or through private cloud. No team size, AUM, or ownership structure is publicly disclosed. The company maintains its headquarters in Lyon. In 2020, Cegid acquired Silae, a French HR and payroll software provider, to expand its HCM capabilities (per public records, 2020). No other recent operational events are verifiable from available sources. Cegid operates as a privately held firm without a clearly disclosed ownership or governance model — distinguishing it from publicly traded competitors. Its narrow geographic and vertical focus within European mid-market business software suggests a strategy of deepening regional specialization rather than global expansion.
