History
2010
In April 2010, Philippe Thomas and Cyrille Folleau left one of France's leading software companies to found SATODEV. Building on their expertise in dependability software development, they won the contract to develop GRIF* at TotalEnergies and CECILIA at Dassault Aviation. In 2010, SATODEV became the official GRIF* distributor.
Since then, the company has grown and doubled its sales in 3 years. It offers new services such as training, expertise/audit, and custom development of plugins. At the end of the 2010s, the company passed the million-euro mark in sales.
2018
2018 is an important year for SATODEV. Now with 7 employees, we are selected by the JIP OREDA to develop the OREDA@cloud software and make accessible over 40 years of maintenance data from the biggest exploration/production industrialists. 2018 is also the year we win the Lambda-Mu d'or du public at IMdR's Lambda-Mu 21 congress in Reims.
2020
In the 2020s, SATODEV will be working for TotalEnergies on new projects related to existing products. The DE-RDB, BarT and Wind projects mark a diversification of projects with our long-standing customer.

In 2021, Dassault Aviation entrusts us with the exclusive marketing of CECILIA software
2022
Since 2022, we have been involved in research projects at the IRT-Saint-Exupéry, such as S2C and CoSMoS, which focus on MBSA in extended enterprises, and its coherence with MBSE.
2023
In 2023, SATODEV is developing its MCS Safety Analyzer post-processing tool, whose first applications are in the defense sector.
2024
In 2024, we support SABENA in an aeronautical certification process, whose MBSA models are based on CECILIA software
2025
In 2025, after 2 years of participation in IMdR's FIDES P23-3 project with 14 manufacturers. We publish FIDES Lab, which becomes the first OpenFIDES-compatible software and integrates the entire FIDES 2022 guide.

The team
SATODEV is an SME with a staff of 10, many of whom have dual skills in IT and dependability.
Training and expertise in dependability are provided by 4 engineers from various fields, with an average of over 20 years’ experience, and with proven track records in industry, research and international standards. They will be your contacts for level 1 support.
Developments are handled by a team of 6 engineers, from the most experienced to young engineers just out of school. An IT, systems and network manager implements, maintains and secures the environments of all our projects. All these people contribute to level 2 and 3 support.
Last but not least, our management and sales assistant will act as your administrative interface, in particular sending you quotations and invoices.
Recognize yourself in these profiles?
Our vision of dependability and software
Against the current of large software publishers and some large companies who think that everything can be solved with a big “do-it-all” software package, we are convinced that scientific computing stands apart in the software world.
Mathematical constraints often imply choices in modeling. That’s why we offer a wide range of tools for dependability and integrated logistics support.
Founded by scientists, SATODEV aims to propagate the right methods and tools within the industry to help its customers move forward. As a good tool is nothing without an appropriate working method, we support users so that they gain autonomy and mastery.
We know the benefits and the drawbacks of each tool, so we can advise you objectively, even if this means not using the software we sell.
Of course, we listen to users’ needs and try to develop software to meet your requirements. Software shouldn’t just be a calculator, it should be integrated into working methods specific to each company, so that it is accepted by the user and not imposed by management.
From an IT point of view, we develop proprietary software, but most of the time compatible with free formats, to guarantee the durability of your files. You don’t risk losing your data if you change software. We keep our customers because they are satisfied with our work.
