Anakeen: experts
in delivering successful
digital transformation projects
since 1998

Anakeen was founded in 1998 by Yannick Le Briquer. After working on the technical documentation management system for Airbus, involving tens of thousands of pages, and advising various firms on improving their business processes, Yannick Le Briquer realised the vital importance of impeccably structuring data if the transition to paperless operations is to be a success. Noting, at this point, the lack of solutions that could facilitate this approach to building functional applications, he decided to form Anakeen.

Since 1998, we have successfully completed more than 50 digital transformation projects and designed bespoke functional applications put to the test daily by tens of thousands of users in various fields such as human resources, integrated management systems, assessment management, audit management, quality control management and collaborative file management.

From 1998 to 2008:
the foundations of our development platform

In 1998, businesses were discovering the internet, although with little idea how to make best use of it, or indeed of collaborative working. At the time, corporate email systems were commonplace enough, but businesses were still far from taking full advantage of technology in order to improve the effective circulation of information to all relevant people, although poor information is one of the main obstacles to collective efficiency.

The first version of our development platform was released as open source, called “Freedom”. It focused from the outset on structuring information and allowed users to save information at the time it was produced so that it could be retrieved later, partly or in its entirety, at the right time, by other users who needed it.

At the time, there were four people in the team (Yannick, Marc, Eric and Jérôme) which was based in Colomiers, near Toulouse. Development of the platform was sped up thanks to a first partnership with Névéa, a software publisher for training centres, which still uses it to this day to manage the entire documentation layer of its solution.

By 2008, the platform had a feature-rich foundation for setting up structured document management and creating collaborative intranet spaces. The team then decided to scale up a level by including the possibility of creating corporate applications…

From 2008 to 2019:
the Dynacase platform and larger-scale projects

Our platform was now called Dynacase, and offered an innovative Low Code approach making it possible to combine and unify business processes and the data within application development. This appealed to a number of organisations for which we ran strategic digital transformation projects, such as France’s High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (Hcéres), the French standards organisation AFNOR, and SopraSteria for the Sysman project with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces.

The team added new technical and functional skills, and we opened a new office in Paris. Dynacase continued to expand with these new projects and added essential functionalities with components such as Smart Data Engine to structure data, Business Process Automation for the workflow engine, and fundamental tools such as security by design, privacy by design, and user-centric by design.

In 2018, we took charge of the major project to switch the assessment process for bodies conducting inspection assignments for COFRAC (French Accreditation Committee) to a paperless system, and we recruited our 20th member for our team of experts.

Since 2019:
Building tomorrow’s world with Anakeen Platform and easyAP4

anakeen platform GEB et BPM

In 2019, our Low Code platform changed its name to Anakeen Platform and a new era began. Capitalising on its sound technical foundations and a comprehensive approach to processes and data, it incorporates modern technologies and enables bespoke business applications to be built that are both effective and secure, blending the best of two worlds, namely the power of traditional desktop applications and the simplicity of next-generation mobile apps.

We are running more digital transformation projects than ever, and we have further expanded our team which now numbers 25 people. The Project Consultancy and Support unit was formed to improve service levels and include more advisory services for our customers’ digital transformations.

We obtained ISO 27001 certification for all of our developments early in 2023, covering our platform and the functional applications created, and we are officially launching the No Code easyAP4 toolkit that allows users themselves to quickly build functional custom applications intuitively, within a fully secure environment.

Our comprehensive project approach and our Low Code and No Code toolkits enable us to cover the entire digital transformation chain from a technical and functional point of view, and consequently to consistently achieve the objectives set for our customers’ projects.
