German software company SoftProject GmbH, a specialist in business process digitalization, announces the acquisition of French company Blueway Software, recognized for its expertise in data governance and application integration. This strategic transaction marks a major industrial milestone for both companies, with a shared ambition: to build a leading European player in data management and the digital transformation of organizations
An ambitious project serving european businesses
The merger between Blueway and SoftProject is based on a shared vision: to offer private and public sector players a sovereign technology platform, developed and operated in Europe, combining data governance, process automation, and application integration. The two software companies share a DNA focused on operational performance, technological expertise, and a strong culture of customer proximity.
SoftProject, with its X4 BPMS platform, has more than 300 clients, particularly in the insurance, manufacturing, and energy sectors. Blueway, a French software vendor founded in 2005, has established itself as a key player in France, helping mid-sized companies, local authorities, and large corporations manage their data transformation.
A strategic fit to accelerate growth on a European scale
This merger is a natural step in Blueway’s growth trajectory. The two vendors’ client portfolios and expertise are highly complementary, and the combination of their expertise will enable us to offer innovative solutions for business process management, interoperability, and data value generation for organizations.
« This is a new step in the life of Blueway. This merger embodies our ambition to become a strong and independent European player in data and digital process management. Combining our expertise and teams will enable us to provide even better support to our clients, both in France and internationally. »
Romain Winkelmuler, Directeur Général de Blueway
Continuity of governance and outlook
The current Blueway management teams, Romain Winkelmuller – CEO, and Edouard Cante – Deputy CEO of Product, remain shareholders, and middle management will obviously remain the preferred contact for customers and partners today and in the future. The two companies will retain their teams, structures, and customer commitments, while jointly building a shared product and market roadmap to achieve their common ambition
