Partner content: December 3rd, 2024 marked a significant milestone for Intersec as they celebrate their 20th anniversary.
For two decades, Intersec, a French company founded in 2004, has embraced its identity as “geeks at heart.” Their passion for technology and innovation has been the key ingredient for their success. Today, Intersec operates in 40 countries, serving 90 tier-one mobile network operators and governments, connecting nearly one billion people and devices via their Agora platform, and achieves a dynamic growth rate of 35% per year.
2004: How it all started
In December 2004, Yann Chevalier, Jean-Marc Coïc, and Olivier Guillaumin founded Intersec to address a critical gap in the tech landscape: the rapid advancement of hardware versus the slower progress of software. The mission was to empower telecom operators with high-performance, optimized software. Their first breakthrough was a real-time database capable of managing profiles for 100 million subscribers on a single server, updating 100,000 profiles per second. This innovation set the stage for a revolutionary approach to data management.
