Every 2-3 years, the French government announces that they released a brand new homemade app that will replace some bigtech because sovereignty or whatever bureaucratic bullshit communication they fancy at the moment. Then they issue a BIG contract to an IT consulting company to develop the thing, who get tons of money to send junior devs to release a buggy tool that no one will ever use because migrations cost a lot.
This new app will die like the others.
I doubt that there are significant development teams at the DINUM. They coordinate projects but do not build anything.
On LinkedIn, here are the main skills associated with the company:
Yes because the department of the DINUM that made it, the « Opérateur de produits interministériels » is only one of it’s many department. I can link you multipleFrencharticle that explain it was developed by the DINUM. Please research a little bit before posting, looking for skills on LinkedIn means nothing. Also the French entrepreneurs that usually get contracts for this were very angry about it.
All this instead of just hiring a few senior devs to contribute to any of the number of existing open source projects that are already infinitely better than any new thing they will come up with.
the french do make some great stuff tho like cryptpad or mobilizon - the problem is usually always the same tho. it’s in french and they only give half a shit about their french users, anyone else is considered an obstacle.
heck i’ve been playing dofus for 20 years and the non-french community is always shafted. always.

It’s made by the DINUM, not an outside consulting company. And the product made by the DINUM (Tchap, France Connect …) are still in use.
