Cegedim e-business continues its international expansion with the acquisition of Ximantix
A German leader in electronic invoicing for mid-market companies
Boulogne-Billancourt, January 30, 2019
Cegedim e-business , a European expert in BtoB process digitalization, announces the acquisition of Ximantix, a Munich-based German specialist in document and incoming/outgoing invoice digitalization for mid-market companies. With this deal, Cegedim e-business continues to expand internationally in a bid to better meet the needs of its international clients.
Cegedim e-business , which is already active in digitalization in Belgium, France, the United Kingdom and Morocco, now has a solid base for this activity in Germany, Europe’s leading economy. The acquisition of a German leader in the mid-market segment will notably allow Cegedim e-business to increase its offering for SMEs. Ximantix’s clients will enjoy a wider range of services thanks to Cegedim’s international footprint.
Reinhard Wild, Chief Executive Officer of Ximantix Software GmbH , comments, “As Cegedim’s spearhead in Germany we want to do more than just represent one of Europe’s top-performing technology and services companies in the digitalization and optimization sector. We also want to remain the partner of choice for German mid-market companies seeking efficient, secure, automated electronic invoicing.”
Local expertise and an international network
Benoît Garibal, Chief Executive Officer of Cegedim e-business , adds, “By welcoming Ximantix into our family of fast-growing activities, we are making a carefully planned entry into one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic e-invoicing markets and rounding out our offering on the continent. It is vital for us to supply the German market with specific solutions, and that’s precisely what Ximantix will do as a new member of our network of excellence.”
Cegedim e-business ’s growing geographic footprint allows it to partner with companies on large-scale digital transformations and meet their need for consistency and efficiency, making it possible to roll out e-invoicing in several countries at once. The expansion is also well timed, as it follows Directive 2014/55/UE of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 on electronic invoicing in public procurement.
Cegedim e-business continues to search for new growth and collaborative innovation opportunities to better serve its clients.
