Artificial intelligence that gives the work back to people, on sovereign infrastructure dedicated to each client.
The founder
William Boudy
Fifteen years industrialising other people’s IT, from the field to the boardroom. Constellar came out of what he saw there.

The number that started it
At Capgemini, the artificial intelligence application he deployed took a major French energy company’s operations team from fifteen people to seven, for the same service delivered: 53% less workload, at unchanged quality. Eight people stopped sorting incidents and started doing the work actually expected of them. It is that shift — not the technology enabling it — that Constellar sets out to reproduce.
How it runs, not just the tool
A qualified information systems manager (French RNCP level 7 title, École Aston), he has carried the full load: budgets of up to one million euros per project, teams of around fifteen people both directly and in matrix, architecture trade-offs, compliance requirements, service continuity.
What interests him first is not the tool but the whole picture: where each piece of information comes from, who needs it, when, and what it costs to produce. It is from that three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view that sound infrastructure decisions come — the ones that answer an established need rather than a fashion.
His way of working comes down to three moves.
Align: start from processes and how information actually flows, not from a vendor’s catalogue — map, simplify, and only then bring in tools.
Project: a three-year master plan that says where you are going and in what order, with a budget and a timeline that hold.
Arbitrate: turn every question — legal, technical, financial — into a costed decision, at board level.
All of it sized for the organisation as it actually is: its scale, its market, its means. A thirty-person organisation does not need the architecture of a thirty-thousand-person group, and the reverse does not hold either.
That is where Constellar’s way of working comes from. You do not ship a tool and hope it holds: you answer for what it does once in production, and you know what to do when it stops doing it.
