Our Story

From entrepreneurship

to innovation

In 2008, 3 entrepreneurs, Didier Zeitoun, Claude Aulagnon, and

Michel Hatiez decided to found Magellan Partners. Their main observation?

Customer support needs a complete rethink:

By covering the entire digital transformation chain:
from strategic and IS consulting to the design and integration of digital
solutions, we need to approach our intervention as a
complete, coherent whole.

By mobilizing expertise that anticipates and changes the market:
via the continuous improvement of our skills to constantly
innovate on our services. Magellan has grown organically for 12 years
, looking outside to help influence how to grow internally.

This is how Magellan Partners was born, a firm specializing in Organizational Consulting and Information Systems, deeply rooted in Technologies and Data. With the goal of offering expert, tailor-made support for all key technologies on the market, the firm very quickly became a Group: from one acquisition to the next, its story was just beginning to unfold.

Our Strategic Plan 2030

In 2023, the Magellan Partners Group achieved its growth objectives 2 years ahead of schedule. In 2024, Magellan Partners launches its new strategic plan for 2030, and becomes a Consulting and Technology Group in Augmented Transformation.

The Magellan Partners Group adapts, evolves and transforms at different levels to support its customers in their Augmented Transformation, by:

Creating new service offerings specific to each industry
Developing the strategies and business lines of tomorrow
Connecting to technological and innovative ecosystems
Combining business knowledge, technological expertise and sustainable awareness for its employees.
