ABOUT PRECEPTEL
Preceptel is a young company based in Sophia
Antipolis (South of France), created in September 2003 by José
Martinez, a telecommunications engineer and former employee of France
Telecom.
Preceptel holds the L33 and L34
Telecommunication operator licenses delivered by the A.R.C.E.P. (the
French Telecommunications and Posts Regulator). In January 2004, they
obtained the “Expert Partner” certification from France Telecom SA
after ending the 2003 fiscal year with a turn-over of 2.4 million
Euros.
In 2006, Preceptel obtained the status of «
Innovative Start-up », an OSEO ANVAR label (French Innovation Public
Agency that provides assistance and financial support to French SMEs
and VSEs). They also obtained a financial support from the County
Council of the Alps Maritimes, an FCPI label (Mutual Fund for
Innovation), and developed industrial and technological partnerships
with both the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) and the
University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis.
At the juncture of Telecommunications and
Information Technology, Preceptel provides turnkey solutions adapted to
particular business needs and offers access via all types of
communication network (landline, GSM, internet, satellite…).
To ease set-up, implementation, use and maintenance of those solutions,
all applications are being proposed in ASP mode (software running on
Preceptel servers)
After a two year phase of self-financed
research and development and a beta test period of validation,
Preceptel is now able to offer innovative and high value-added telecom
solutions to the BtoB market, adopting a sector-based approach. These
solutions allow customers to improve their performance and margins,
whilst increasing their flexibility and providing a better control on
