About Maxime

SME executives and CFOs manage IT budgets where financial waste often reaches 40% (unused licenses, redundant tools, time-consuming processes).

With 20 years of experience, I help SMEs (20 to 150 employees) streamline their costs and align IT with their strategy. I combine organizational consulting (Business Analysis), outsourced IT management, and technical expertise (Technical Lead) to exclusively defend your financial and operational interests.

Intervention of approximately 1.5 days on-site. Mapping of the infrastructure, identification of manual processes, and risk assessment.
Deliverable: factual surprise matrix and budgeted roadmap.
  • Package: from €2,400 excl. VAT.

2. Part-time CIO
Execution of the roadmap on a subscription basis (e.g., 1 day per week) to relieve management. Rigorous management of your service providers, schedule tracking, and IT budget management.
  • Indicative rate: €800 excl. VAT / day.

3. Business Analysis and Technical Lead (MOE)

MEASURED RESULTS


Recent example: the ERP change and IT system optimization for an advertising agency generated a direct productivity gain. The sales management recovered 0.5 days of work per week, and sales administration eliminated 2 days of data entry per month.

APPROACH AND MOBILITY


Factual and ROI-oriented approach.

    FILM AND AV
    January 2026 - March 2026 (2 months)
    Auray, France

    Business Challenges

    The company faced an administrative burden hindering its growth: daily manual entries from the ERP, complex transmission of large files, and double entries required for venue operators. The goal was to streamline and secure the entire operational production chain.

    Method and ROI Validation

    To secure management's investment, I favored an iterative approach through proof of value. An initial isolated technical component was delivered quickly: an Excel schedule converter to native XML files for cinema projectors. This first deliverable eliminated double entry at the venue, establishing trust for the deployment of the overall project.

    Technical Solution Deployed (PHP/Symfony)

    Design and development of a custom extranet, the central hub of the information system:
    • ERP Interconnection : synchronization with Odoo for automatic campaign creation from sales data (advertiser, budget, dates).
    • Rules Engine : automation of weekly schedules, including detection of business anomalies (sector exclusivity, competition conflicts).
    • Secure Partner Area : standalone portal for cinemas to view schedules and download media (S3 cloud hosting).
    • Financial Module : automated calculation of quarterly venue royalties and direct injection into the ERP as purchase orders.

    Factual Results

    • Productivity Gain : a half-day administrative process is now executed securely in seconds.
    • Data Reliability : complete elimination of entry and billing errors.
    • Organizational Impact : management is freed from operational control tasks to refocus on business development.

    MEDICAL
    September 2025 - December 2025 (3 months)

    Business Challenges

    A healthcare provider was evaluating the commercial potential of 1500 hospitals to target future partnerships using an extremely cumbersome Excel model that was difficult to use on mobile and complex to maintain. The goal: eliminate this vulnerable spreadsheet by designing a centralized web application capable of automatically processing vast amounts of public data (ATIH).

    Method and Approach (Business Analysis)

    The intervention began with an audit of the existing mathematical model, structured around care pathways. I defined an architecture that met three specific uses:
    • an instant consultation interface for sales representatives,
    • a fine-tuning configuration space for business experts,
    • and strict user privilege management for administration.

    Technical Solution Deployed (Python)

    Development of a robust system to automate financial and medical calculations:
    • Data Pipeline : automated download and integration of data volumes from the Technical Agency for Hospital Information.
    • Calculation Engine : transposition of the hospital nomenclature (GHM) and revenue calculation rules by therapeutic area into Python.
    • Configuration : secure module for adjusting conversion rates and unit prices without any technical intervention.
    • Data Visualization : analytical dashboards (Pareto charts, scatter plots) for graphically comparing facility performance.

    Factual Results

    • Decision Support : management instantly generates profitability analyses to surgically target prospects.
    • Reliability : elimination of calculation errors and corruption risks inherent in volatile files (Shadow IT).
    • Autonomy : experts update financial assumptions independently, ensuring indicators always align with the market.

    IT Management and SI Modernization – SME (Luxury Sector)
    RETAIL (SMALL BUSINESS)
    July 2017 - December 2023 (6 years and 5 months)
    Paris, France

    Business Challenges

    Dependency on multiple external service providers and a fragmented information system in a luxury sector SME led to workflow disruptions between online sales and operational management. Management wanted to re-internalize IT governance, unify the digital ecosystem, and secure processes to increase business volume.

    Strategy and Business Analysis

    I led this transformation project by aligning technical investments with the company's profitability objectives. I audited processes, mapped data flows, and defined a clear roadmap. The challenge was to translate expectations into viable solutions while ensuring the adoption of these new tools by internal teams through customized business support.

    Deployment and Technical Lead (MOE)

    I oversaw the design and implementation of a robust and interconnected software infrastructure:
    • ERP Deployment (Odoo) : centralization of inventory, purchasing, and billing management to end data silos.
    • E-commerce Redesign : migration and optimization of the e-commerce site architecture (WooCommerce / PHP).
    • Transaction Security : integration of complex and reliable payment processes (Stripe, PayPal).
    • Business Intelligence : design of financial and commercial dashboards (Looker Studio) by aggregating databases (SQL).

    Factual Results

    • Strategic Management : management now has real-time performance indicators, ensuring reliable decision-making.
    • Operational Security : automated interconnection between the e-commerce front-office and the ERP has eliminated double-entry errors and invisible stockouts.
    • Technological Mastery : infrastructure rationalization (Linux environment) ensuring the company's complete independence and autonomy.
