Videomenthe joins SoftNext
December 4, 2024
Videomenthe, publisher and distributor of software solutions for the professional audiovisual market, has joined SoftNext.
Videomenthe is a Montpellier-based company specialising in the distribution and publishing of software dedicated to the professional audiovisual market. The company has chosen to join SoftNext to accelerate its growth in France and Europe, while retaining its core business.
SoftNext brings together the Tech and Software activities of Groupe Baelen, an independent family-owned group that takes over successful SMEs in order to develop them over the long term. SoftNext brings together more than thirty companies in 10 business areas (health, retail, tourism, telecoms, etc.).
Following the acquisition of ProConsultant Informatique (PCI) in 2022, the integration of Videomenthe will create a new Media division. Muriel Le Bellac will assume the management of both structures.
“SoftNext is keen to develop a strong media vertical, from production to broadcasting, to eventually offer a “one-stop shop” for professional audiovisual players. Muriel Le Bellac has been appointed Managing Director of both entities, in a clear commitment to capitalising on the complementary nature of the two structures,” commented Jérémie Vinant, CEO of SoftNext.
“I’m delighted to be taking over the management of PCI, a major player in our industry! Our complementary nature will clearly be an asset in the broadcast market, and the resources made available by the SoftNext teams will help us pursue the growth strategy of both entities,” added le Bellac.
