Omerlo

2023 Will Be Synonymous with Development

With a significant capital injection and the promise of implementing the platform within its group of partners, Groupe DRAKKAR, a major company operating in the fields of aeronautics, ground transportation, logistics, marketing, and digital transformation, reaffirms its confidence in the product.

The Beginnings of Omerlo

In 2007, after studying computer science at Laval University and contributing to the development of Copernic, Simon co-founded Mirego, a renowned agency specializing in digital product design. Thanks to the undeniable success of the firm, Simon had the opportunity to collaborate on his first project, designing a content management platform: La Presse+. It was through discussions about a second platform for Le Soleil and five other newspapers that he discovered the importance of relevant content and the role a solution like Omerlo could play in the reader engagement journey within the media industry.

Creating New Products

After more than 15 years in application development and nearly 5 years building the Omerlo platform, Simon now aims for massive expansion of his product and market. As a result, new features will be launched soon, accompanied by new iOS and Android mobile solutions. In addition to the media, these will address the needs of businesses, institutions, hubs, and large groups, regardless of their size and structure. More specifically, they will focus on community management and supporting the promotion of internal culture for their employees, collaborators, and partners.
