“We have been working with EDACTO for almost 10 years. We particularly appreciate their work, which is always based on a very granular data approach and allows us to understand the markets in depth. In the past, we have stopped certain acquisition processes on the basis of their projections… and a few years later have been able to measure the relevance of their analysis!”

“I called on the services of Edacto for a market study of healthcare software, a market which I already knew well. I must admit that the report was of a high quality. The survey methodology deployed by Edacto allows them to obtain information of surprising relevance. Edacto enriches this information with a fine analysis of the market, its challenges and the strategies pursued by the various players. Since 2014, I have commissioned them 5 more times … What more can I say!”
