Knowmore now in the Top 250

In 2025, Knowmore appears in the general ranking for the first time. For us, this entry in the ranking means several things:

- External recognition of our status as a SoftwareEditor in our own right, focused ondigital adoption and digital well-being.

- Validation of a model based on :

• a software platform dedicated to theadoption of digital tools,
• strong end-user support (training, onboarding, support, pedagogy),
• a vision focused as much on employee satisfaction and experience as on performance.

- This is a positive signal to our customers, partners and prospects: Knowmore is firmly established in the French publisher landscape.

This visibility is also a direct result of the trust our customers place in us, enabling us to co-construct ambitious adoption initiatives - particularly in areas such as HRIS, collaborative tools and business platforms.

Generative AI, SaaS, CSR: a context that speaks to Knowmore

The 2025 edition of the Top 250 highlights several fundamental trends that resonate particularly with our DNA.

1. AI as a strategic priority

• 61% of publishers have already integratedgenerative AI functionality into their offerings, with a further 31% planning to do so in the next two years.
• 83% of publishers consider AI to be one of their top three technology priorities, ahead even of cloud/SaaS and cybersecurity.

For Knowmore, it's a clear signal:

• AI (and in particular generative AI) is no longer confined to innovation,
• it is becoming a standard expected by end-users, which further reinforces the importance of our mission: to help organizations make these new tools truly adopted, understood and experienced in the daily lives of their employees.
  

2. SaaS as the dominant model

The Top 250 confirms that the SaaS model is now the norm, with 64% of sales generated by SaaS in 2024, compared with 57% in 2022.

Knowmore is fully in line with this dynamic:

• a user-oriented SaaS platform,
• a subscription model that encourages recurrence,
• continuous improvement of the solution, in co-construction with our customers.
  

3. CSR and digital well-being

• 79% of publishers consider CSR a priority concern,
• 77% have implemented a structured approach,
• 58% have carried out a carbon assessment.
  

At Knowmore, the issue of CSR is addressed through the prism of digital well-being:

• avoid tool overload,
• make digital journeys simpler,
• restore meaning and fluidity to the employee experience.

Being listed in a panorama that incorporates these dimensions reinforces our conviction that digital transformation can no longer be thought of solely in terms of functionalities, but in terms ofhuman impact.

What this means for our customers and partners

Being in the Top 250 doesn't change our daily lives... but it does change the way we can tell our story:

For our customers :

• it's a guarantee of durability and reliability,

• proof that ourEditor model is structured, profitable and part of a solid ecosystem.

For our technology partners and integrators :

• it's a signal of credibility in the French software ecosystem,
• an asset in building joint offerings around the adoption of digital tools, particularly in HRIS and collaboration.

For our teams :

• is a collective recognition of the work accomplished,
• a concrete marker of Knowmore's trajectory in recent years.

What's next? Our ambitions for the future

This entry into the Top 250 is not a finishing line, but rather a point of passage.

In the coming years, our ambition is to :

- Continue to accelerate the adoption of digital tools within large organizations and SMEs.

- Integrate more and more AI into our support paths (usage analysis, personalized content, intelligent assistance) while remaining aligned with our values: pedagogy, transparency, respect for users.

- Strengthening our contribution to a more sustainable digital world:

• by limiting friction and overstress,
• by promoting more controlled and better understood uses.
• Consolidate our position as one of the French publishers who combine software innovation with positive human impact.

In conclusion

• it officially puts us on the map of publishers who count,
• it validates a model that puts adoption, usage and digital well-being at the heart of digital transformation,
