According to Gartner, as the engine of digital transformation, MDM is a key approach for companies that want to improve the quality and sharing of their critical data. However, while many organizations approach MDM solely through the lens of technology, defining a business strategy for data management is fundamental.
This partnership brings a value proposition that combines the Semarchy xDM platform with Apgar’s consulting and implementation services to help their joint customers achieve better data governance and accelerate ROI. The agreement is aimed at customers globally, as both companies maintain a presence in Europe and the United States.
Recognized as a leader in Gartner’s 2021 Magic Quadrant for MDM solutions, the Semarchy Intelligent Data Hub solution enables organizations of all sizes to bring together their master data, scattered across multiple applications, in a single data hub to immediately generate value.
Apgar Consulting joins the Semarchy partner program and brings its expertise in implementing Master Data Management solutions, recognized since 2020 by Gartner in its “Market Guide for MDM External Service providers.” With more than 110 consultants working on data issues on a daily basis, Apgar Consulting supports its customers from start to finish with a wide range of customized services including consulting, implementation, production support, change management and training.

“The signing of this partnership is in line with our mission to help our customers improve their organization’s performance through quality data. We share with Apgar Consulting a strong sense of customer satisfaction and are delighted that this partnership will extend through Europe and the United States. Our partnership with Apgar Consulting aims to accelerate and maximize the return on investment for our clients through the qualities of our offerings, which combine a simple and flexible solution with a full range of support services,” said Hervé Chapron, Semarchy VP & General Manager EMEA.
“As part of our selective partnership strategy, Semarchy appears to be a key player in the MDM market. It matches our offers in that it can offer a multi-domain platform to its customers, thus avoiding the multiplication of technical solutions. Finally, its ease of use and price positioning make it a solution that is particularly well suited to medium-sized companies, a sector in which we are keen to position ourselves. Beyond the technological aspect, a partnership is also a story between people. The historical presence of Semarchy in France favors the development of our relationships and I am committed to supporting data expertise ‘made in France’,” added Jean-Yves Falque, Founder and President of Apgar Consulting.
