Contact us

40 years of history shaped by techological evolution

For over 40 years, Docaposte has been supporting its customers through major technological transformations and today asserts its role as a key partner in digital trust.

A leader in its market, the company has undergone its own transformation by integrating new digital expertise, while pursuing an active external growth strategy to strengthen its offering and meet the evolving needs of businesses and public institutions.

A pioneering strategy built on support and innovation

By focusing its strategy early on trusted digital solutions, Docaposte has, over the years, established itself as a leading player in the adoption of responsible and secure digital practices.

This transformation, made essential by major societal challenges, is based on a “symmetry of attention”: a careful balance between supporting employees and supporting clients.

Olivier Vallet, CEO of Docaposte since 2017, explains :

"Digital transformation is driven by change management. That’s why we have made sure to support our clients as well as our employees, to explain the purpose of this digitalisation, how it would create value, foster innovation, and deliver new services."

A culture of trust at the heart of our story

Our culture of trust is rooted in a long history of serving society. As the digital subsidiary of the La Poste Group – a historic public service actor recognized for its close relationship with citizens and businesses for several centuries – Docaposte builds on this heritage to create a sovereign, useful, secure, responsible digital environment that serves everyone.

This unique positioning, at the crossroads of the public sector, technology, and responsible innovation, makes Docaposte a leader in the French market for digital trust and sovereignty :

- #1 in electronic vote, digital archiving, electronic signature, and electronic registered letter.

-The only eIDAS-qualified provider covering the full range of trusted services.

-Ranked 6th in revenue in the French 2025 Observatoire de la Filière de la Confiance Numérique (ACN).

Public DNA and La Poste's Digital Legacy

A wholly publicly owned subsidiary, Docaposte was born from La Poste Group’s drive for diversification and technological transformation. In the digital world, it extends the promise of trust that its parent company has upheld in the physical world for over 600 years.

Building on this heritage, and strengthened by its close ties with the Caisse des Dépôts, Docaposte places trust, responsibility, proximity, and a commitment to the public interest at the heart of its DNA.

This strategy of service diversification, underpinned by its historical expertise in industrial operations, has enabled Docaposte to develop one of the most comprehensive offerings on the market, combining the very best of both the physical and digital worlds.

Docaposte through the years

  • 1970-1990 – The genesis : when computing began bringing value to document processing, it marked the start of payment, document publishing, and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) activities : printing and sending the first letters, digitizing corporate information...

  • 1991-2006 – The digital shift : the first postal digital platforms were deployed, ushering in a digital transformation for the La Poste group.

  • 2007-2015 – The story begins : Docaposte was created, bringing together eight companies and focusing on digital solutions for document processes : the early days of electronic signatures, the launch of the Digiposte digital safe, the sending of electronic invoices, the hosting of the first pharmaceutical records...

  • 2016-2023 – Accélération : the business model evolved, growth accelerated and – after several major acquisitions – Docaposte became a leader in digital trust, thanks to solutions developed by its experts, hosted in its own data centers, and used daily by millions of French citizens.

  • From 2024 – Asserting leadership : As a publisher of software and digital trust solutions, a platform integrator and operator, and an expert in Data/AI consulting Docaposte positions itself as the French leader in digital trust and sovereignty, relying on its own technological building blocks and assets in cloud, cybersecurity and AI.
