Opase, editor of the OBMS solution

Having worked as a project manager, sales representative and then ESN executive, Jean-Christophe Legros, CEO of Opase, worked with a corporate buyer at France Telecom to identify the difficulties encountered by all players in the field. Receiving poorly defined invitations to tender makes it difficult to respond to demand, access to reliable KPIs is extremely complex, traceability of expenses and reporting are terribly time-consuming…

We’ll spare you the success story that began in a garage: instead, the idea for OBMS was born over a strong cup of coffee and grew up in a minimalist palace setting, on the top floor under the rafters of a Paris building, where a chair and a desk were enough to fill the space.

The ideas were flowing, the post-its were piling up, so how could we simplify the work of the 3 stakeholders and improve their collaboration? How can we measure and improve performance? How do you enable companies to remain sustainable and collaborate with the best specialized partners in the IT and engineering sectors?

… and voila! Did you say OPASE?

Opase is born. Joining forces with Eugène Suzyumov, an architect specializing in metrology, Jean-Christophe Legros creates the OBMS solution, which responds to the challenges and constraints faced by buyers of intellectual services and their suppliers in their collaborative projects.

A collaborative platform that makes it easier to find and manage external talent to support companies in their innovative projects.

1 month later, Opase signs its first customer, Alstom.

With rapid growth and good spirits, the team moved from its original premises to larger premises.

Opase wins Bombardier’s Preferred Supplier Award, which recognizes the company’s best suppliers.

The OSN (OBMS Supplier Network) is becoming a dynamic international marketplace with over 1,000 active suppliers. The OSN is a module made available to buyers who wish to broaden their consultation, for example when they cannot find specific resources.
