Tessi is the French leader in Business Process Services (BPS), providing its customers with back-to-front outsourcing and business process digitalization solutions that combine human expertise and proprietary technologies. Today, the company operates mainly in the banking and insurance sectors, but it is also active in healthcare, telecoms, industry and public services. Founded in 1971, Tessi is present in 15 countries worldwide.

In January 2016, HLD was approached by Natixis Partners in connection with the sale of a 54% majority stake by its founder. We immediately expressed our interest and signed the agreement within three months, allowing the company to focus on its operational development and not on this capital transaction.

Tessi benefits from an end-to-end offer supported by high value-added proprietary technology solutions, coupled with strong business expertise. It is thus able to benefit from an excellent reputation with numerous and loyal clients. The company also operates in a fast-growing market, driven by fundamental trends in outsourcing and digitalization in all sectors of activity, both private and public. Finally, Tessi has a strong capacity to acquire and integrate complementary companies both in terms of activity and technological offer, in a fragmented market in France and internationally.

Since 2010, we have been committed to combining technological development and economic growth while taking into account the social, societal and environmental impact of our activities. We have chosen to partner with HLD because they share this long-term and responsible vision of our company.
Claire Fistarol [Chairman of the Board]
