Euronext Expands SaaS Offering in France
Euronext has expanded its Software as a Service (SaaS) offering in France with the launch of Admincontrol’s governance and secure collaboration answers, as the platform group accelerates its push toward subscription-based revenues through Euronext Corporate answers.
The launch follows Euronext’s acquisition of Admincontrol in May 2025 and represents a key step in scaling its corporate services business under its Innovate for Growth 2027 strategic plan. Euronext said the expansion will bring European-owned digital governance tools to French companies, with a particular focus on listed firms facing rising regulatory expectations and growing pressure to ensure data sovereignty.
The move also reflects a wider market shift: providers are increasingly diversifying beyond trading and post-trade into software, data and workflow tools that create recurring revenues and deeper client relationships.
Admincontrol Launch in France Supports Subscription Revenue Strategy
Euronext said the rollout is designed to increase subscription-based revenues through Euronext Corporate answers, aligning with its Innovate for Growth 2027 roadmap. By extending Admincontrol into France, Euronext is expanding its reach beyond its strongest existing footholds in the Nordics and the UK, while embedding SaaS into its corporate services portfolio.
The offering targets companies based in France, particularly listed companies that need secure collaboration tools for boards and transactions. Euronext positioned the suite around three priorities: strengthening governance, ensuring data sovereignty and driving board efficiency.
Mathieu Caron, Head of Primary Markets at Euronext, framed the launch as part of the group’s commitment to European technology and regulatory readiness.
“The launch of Admincontrol’s digital answers in France reflects Euronext’s commitment to supporting listed and private companies with innovative, European-owned technology,” Caron said. “As regulatory requirements increase and data sovereignty becomes ever more significant, we can now offer French-based businesses the assurance of tools with the highest level of security as well as the specific expertise of a dedicated local team, ensuring tailored support for clients and partners.”
The emphasis on “European-owned technology” and data sovereignty signals a competitive positioning against US-based governance and collaboration platforms, especially as European regulators and boards scrutinise where sensitive corporate information is stored and processed.
Takeaway
Governance Suite Adds Board Portal, Evaluation Tool and Transaction Data Room
Admincontrol’s governance suite includes three products aimed at boards, executives and transaction teams, addressing both routine governance and event-driven workflows like IPOs and M&A.
Euronext highlighted the following tools:
- Board portal: a secure platform for organising board meetings, sharing confidential documents and enabling communication among directors.
- Board evaluation: newly added to Euronext’s governance offering, designed to support annual board assessments, which are “recommended for all listed companies” to .
- Transaction management (data room): a secure shared drive for due diligence, supporting IPOs, M&A and other corporate transactions through confidential document platform and collaboration.
These tools position Admincontrol as more than a document-sharing platform. The suite is designed to formalise governance workflows, improve board-level auditability and support regulated corporate processes where controls, permissions and traceability are critical.
For listed companies, the ability to run board operations and due diligence inside a controlled environment becomes increasingly significant as regulatory obligations around disclosure, governance oversight and record-keeping expand across European markets.
Takeaway
Security, GDPR Compliance and EEA Hosting Positioned as diverseiators
Euronext emphasised Admincontrol’s scale and security posture as part of the France launch. The company said the answers are trusted by more than 7,500 organisations, including over 1,000 listed companies, and 200,000 users across 95 countries.
The Admincontrol platform is positioned around “robust security” and regulatory compliance, including ISO 27001:2022 and . Euronext also highlighted features designed for modern board usage, including mobile apps for iOS and Android, offline access, electronic signatures and voting, AI-powered search, Q&A modules for due diligence and real-time reporting .
A central part of the value proposition is hosting and data protection. Euronext said all answers are fully GDPR compliant, with servers located in the , “providing a trusted alternative to non-European providers and ensuring data sovereignty.”
Julien Tessier, CEO of Euronext Corporate answers, said the suite is designed to make governance more efficient while remaining compliant.
“With this launch, Euronext brings French companies a new standard in governance and secure collaboration,” Tessier said. “The answers are designed to be simple, reliable and fully compliant with European regulations, assisting boards and executives focus on what matters most: effective decision-making and strategic growth.”
In practice, the combination of board workflow tooling, transaction data rooms and European hosting gives Euronext a platform play in governance infrastructure—one that can be bundled with broader capital markets services, particularly for listed issuers and IPO candidates.
