CEA Technographics, Software Purchases, AI and Digital Transformation Initiatives
Discover the latest software purchases and digital transformation initiatives being undertaken by CEA and its business and technology executives. Each quarter our research team identifies on-prem and cloud applications that are being used by the 2100 CEA employees from the public (Press Releases, Customer References, Testimonials, Case Studies and Success Stories) and proprietary sources.
During our research, we have identified that CEA has purchased the following applications: Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance for Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS) in 2021, Microsoft SharePoint for Enterprise Content Management in 2017, Altair Monitor for Software Asset Management (SAM), IT Asset Management (ITAM), SaaS Spend Management in 2020 and the related IT decision-makers and key stakeholders.
Our database provides customer insight and contextual information on which enterprise applications and software systems CEA is running and its propensity to invest more and deepen its relationship with Sikiwis , Microsoft , Altair Engineering or identify new suppliers as part of their overall Digital and IT transformation projects to stay competitive, fend off threats from disruptive forces, or comply with internal mandates to improve overall enterprise efficiency.
We have been analyzing CEA revenues, which have grown to $5.50 billion in 2024, plus its IT budget and roadmap, cloud software purchases, aggregating massive amounts of data points that form the basis of our forecast assumptions for CEA intention to invest in emerging technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Blockchain, Autonomous Database or in cloud-based ERP, HCM, CRM, EPM, Procurement or Treasury applications.

| Sikiwis | Legacy | Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance | Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS) | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, CEA implemented Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance for Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS). The deployment positioned Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance to support maintenance orchestration alongside project and subcontractor pilotage, aligning the application to CEA business functions for maintenance management and supplier oversight.
Configuration work emphasized Sikiwis U-ERP modules for project management and pilotage of subcontractors as described in vendor communications, and standard Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS) capabilities were configured to support those workflows. Functional capabilities included work order management, asset registries, preventive maintenance scheduling, and document management, implemented through the U-ERP low-code framework to allow process-specific customization.
Operational scope covered maintenance operations, project teams, and supplier oversight processes within CEA, with the Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance instance used to centralize project-level subcontractor pilotage and to coordinate maintenance-related supplier activities. No external system integrations were specified in the source, the implementation therefore focused on embedding CMMS workflows and project/subcontractor management into existing departmental processes.
Governance changes centered on formalizing pilotage workflows for subcontractors, defining role based access and approval steps inside Sikiwis U-ERP Maintenance, and aligning operational procedures for project oversight and maintenance execution. The narrative reflects CEA using Sikiwis modules to instrument project and supplier oversight workflows, while retaining the ability to extend CMMS automation via the vendor low-code capabilities.

In 2017, CEA implemented Microsoft SharePoint as an Enterprise Content Management solution to power content publishing on its public website. The deployment positioned Microsoft SharePoint as the primary web content layer for the site, addressing authoring and structured publishing requirements while centralizing site content management under a single platform.
The Microsoft SharePoint implementation used standard Enterprise Content Management capabilities including site collections and publishing infrastructure, document libraries, content types and metadata taxonomies, page templates, versioning and search-driven content delivery. Configuration emphasized editorial workflows and approval chains typical of web publishing, with reusable page components and template-driven layouts to standardize content presentation and governance.
Operational coverage focused on corporate web and communications functions, with governance oriented around role-based access controls, editorial approval processes and content lifecycle controls to manage published assets. The implementation narrative reflects CEA Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Content Management alignment with web publishing, editorial operations and centralized content governance for the corporate site.

| Altair Engineering | Legacy | Altair Monitor | Software Asset Management (SAM), IT Asset Management (ITAM), SaaS Spend Management | IT Asset Management | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, CEA implemented Altair Monitor for real-time EDA license monitoring and management. The deployment used Altair Monitor in the Apps Category to manage EDA license consumption across CEA Tech, the Grenoble research unit of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.
CEA Tech paired Altair Monitor with Altair Accelerator as the job scheduler to optimize compute selection and license preemption. Implemented functional modules include a job status interface and a resource dashboard that displays servers, running jobs, license resources, cores, RAM and runtime telemetry, together with automated resource calculation for interactive and batch jobs.
Operationally the solution orchestrates job placement on the fastest available servers based on time of day, prioritizes critical runs, and applies FairShare preemption to free licenses for queued tasks. The environment supports complex R&D design flows using multiple process design kits for system on chip, RF, and analog mixed signal chips, and schedules hundreds of thousands of jobs weekly including nonregression verification, logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, physical verification, SPICE and electromagnetic simulation.
Governance updates focused on workload scheduling policies and automated preemption to improve license utilization and reduce wait times, with seamless integration into existing toolchains. According to CAD manager Youcef Fellah, single user simulations ran more than 4.5x faster using Accelerator without FairShare and remained 3.9x faster with FairShare enabled, and the preemption mechanism made license availability appear effectively unlimited.
