PeoplMap: The French Answer to Videoconferencing Giants


As hybrid work becomes the norm, one French startup is making waves: PeoplMap, the first fully sovereign augmented videoconferencing platform. At a time when Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams dominate the market, PeoplMap offers an ethical, secure, and eco-conscious alternative.


Unlike its American competitors, PeoplMap hosts all user data exclusively in France, avoiding exposure to U.S. extraterritorial laws like the Patriot Act and Cloud Act, which allow authorities to access foreign user data. In an era of GDPR enforcement and rising cyber threats, this is a decisive advantage.


But PeoplMap goes far beyond standard video calls. Its technology creates immersive and interactive virtual spaces, allowing teams to "move" between meeting rooms, offices, and even informal areas—mimicking real-world work environments and encouraging more natural interactions.


Another key strength: environmental impact. While international platforms route data across the globe, PeoplMap keeps traffic local, significantly reducing energy consumption. This commitment to sustainable digital practices sets the platform apart.

In a world where digital sovereignty is emerging as both a geopolitical and ecological priority, PeoplMap is more than just a technological solution—it's a statement of values. It empowers organizations to regain control over their communications infrastructure while reducing their digital footprint.

Whether you're a public institution, a company seeking GDPR-compliant tools, or simply committed to responsible innovation, PeoplMap offers a new vision for collaborative work—one that's immersive, ethical, and firmly rooted in European values.

PeoplMap: The Next Generation of Videoconferencing, Made in France

As dependency on American technologies continues to grow, digital sovereignty has become a strategic concern. In response, PeoplMap offers a French-made augmented videoconferencing solution at the intersection of innovation, security, and sustainability.

1. Sovereignty: Your Data Stays in France


While leading communication platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams are technically advanced, they are all hosted on infrastructures subject to U.S. laws. This means your professional conversations can potentially be accessed under the Patriot Act.

PeoplMap takes a stand by hosting all user data exclusively in France, within GDPR-compliant data centers, ensuring full confidentiality and compliance with European regulations.

2. A New User Experience


PeoplMap goes far beyond traditional “video boxes.” It offers immersive spaces where users can move freely, see who’s talking to whom, join conversations spontaneously, or even “knock” on a colleague’s virtual door.

It’s a more fluid, human, and natural way of working remotely—designed to recreate the dynamics of physical presence.

3. An Environmentally Responsible Choice


International data flows demand substantial server usage and energy. By processing traffic within France, PeoplMap drastically reduces the carbon footprint of virtual meetings. A 2023 MIT study revealed that one hour of videoconferencing can emit up to 1 kg of CO₂ depending on the service.

PeoplMap offers a concrete and measurable solution to digital pollution.

4. A Customizable Solution


Finally, PeoplMap is fully customizable. Virtual environments can be tailored to reflect your organization’s culture, and native integrations with HR systems, CRMs, and internal documents are supported.

In short, PeoplMap is not just another GAFAM competitor—it is a strategic alternative rooted in French values of sovereignty, innovation, and sustainable development.

PeoplMap: The French Platform that Combines Digital Sovereignty, Innovation, and Sustainability


As digital tools become embedded in every aspect of our professional lives, a crucial question arises: Who controls our data? Behind the convenience of platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams lies a complex geopolitical reality—one where control over our digital communications is often lost to foreign legislation and infrastructures


PeoplMap is France’s answer: a next-generation augmented videoconferencing platform that bridges the gap between remote collaboration, technological sovereignty, and environmental responsibility

1. Digital Sovereignty: A Strategic Imperative

Digital tools are no longer just about efficiency or innovation—they have become a matter of national sovereignty.

Over the past decade, revelations about extraterritorial U.S. laws like the Patriot Act and the Cloud Act have shown that data stored in or accessible by U.S.-based companies can be legally accessed by American intelligence services—without prior notice or external oversight.


In other words, when French organizations use Zoom or Microsoft Teams, their sensitive data may be viewed by U.S. authorities without consent.

PeoplMap takes the opposite approach. It is 100% French: local hosting, sovereign infrastructure, and full GDPR compliance. By centralizing all exchanges and metadata on French soil, PeoplMap enables businesses and public institutions to reclaim control over their digital assets.

“In an uncertain world, securing data flows is securing our autonomy,”
— Akram Ben Yahia, CEO of Advyteam, publisher of PeoplMap

2. An Ecological Alternative to Global Platforms

Digital pollution is real—and growing. Each video call involves massive data transfers across continents, consuming enormous amounts of energy via servers, submarine cables, and data centers.

A 2023 MIT study estimates that an hour of video conferencing can emit between 150 grams and 1 kilogram of CO₂, depending on the platform and number of participants.

PeoplMap provides a concrete response to this challenge: by processing data locally, near the user, it minimizes digital distance and energy consumption. The result is invisible to the user but meaningful for the planet.

This approach aligns with a broader movement for sustainable digital practices, where every technical decision is also an ecological one.

3. A Reimagined Collaborative Experience

PeoplMap isn’t just ethical and eco-friendly—it’s also designed for the new world of hybrid work.

Instead of simple side-by-side video tiles, PeoplMap recreates immersive virtual environments where users can see who is where, move between rooms, spontaneously join conversations, or “knock” on a colleague’s door.


This intuitive navigation simulates informal workplace interactions—those crucial “hallway moments” that drive creativity and connection.

Each room can be personalized: private offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas, or creative spaces. And tools like documents, whiteboards, video players, and CRM systems are natively integrated into the platform.


The result? A more engaging, flexible, and culture-rich collaborative space that reflects the identity and needs of each organization

PeoplMap, la nouvelle génération de visioconférence made in France

Face à une dépendance accrue aux technologies américaines, la souveraineté numérique s’impose comme un enjeu stratégique. En réponse, PeoplMap propose une solution française de visioconférence augmentée, à la croisée de l’innovation, de la sécurité et de l’écologie.

1. Souveraineté : vos données restent en France


Les grandes plateformes de communication comme Zoom, Google Meet ou Teams, bien que performantes, sont toutes hébergées sur des infrastructures soumises aux lois américaines. Cela signifie que vos échanges professionnels peuvent être potentiellement surveillés dans le

cadre du Patriot Act.

PeoplMap s’oppose à cela en hébergeant toutes les données sur le territoire français, dans des datacenters conformes au RGPD, garantissant la confidentialité totale.

2. Une nouvelle expérience utilisateur


PeoplMap dépasse la logique des “cases vidéo” classiques. Elle propose des espaces immersifs, où les participants peuvent circuler librement, voir qui parle avec qui, rejoindre une conversation à la volée ou “frapper à la porte” d’un collègue.

C’est une nouvelle manière de vivre le travail à distance : plus fluide, plus humain, plus naturel.

3. Un choix écologique


Les flux de données internationaux sollicitent de nombreux serveurs et consomment énormément d’énergie. En localisant le traitement en France, PeoplMap réduit drastiquement l’empreinte carbone des réunions virtuelles. Une étude du MIT rappelle qu’une heure de visio peut émettre jusqu’à 1 kg de CO2. PeoplMap répond concrètement à cette problématique.

4. Une solution sur-mesure


Enfin, PeoplMap est personnalisable : les environnements virtuels peuvent être adaptés à chaque organisation, et les intégrations (SIRH, CRM, documents internes) sont natives.

En somme, PeoplMap n’est pas juste un concurrent des GAFAM. C’est une alternative stratégique, alignée sur les valeurs françaises de souveraineté, d’innovation et de

développement durable.

PeoplMap : la plateforme française qui allie souveraineté numérique, innovation et écologie

Alors que le numérique s’impose dans tous les pans de notre vie professionnelle, une question devient de plus en plus pressante : à qui confions-nous nos données ? Derrière la commodité des outils comme Zoom, Google Meet ou Teams, se cache une réalité géopolitique complexe : celle de la perte de contrôle sur nos échanges numériques, hébergés et analysés à des milliers de kilomètres, sous législation étrangère.


Face à ce constat, une entreprise française relève le défi : PeoplMap, une plateforme de visioconférence augmentée, conçue pour réconcilier collaboration à distance, souveraineté technologique et responsabilité environnementale.

1. Souveraineté numérique : un impératif stratégique

Le numérique n’est plus seulement une question d’efficacité ou d’innovation ; c’est désormais une question de souveraineté nationale. Depuis plusieurs années, les révélations autour des lois extraterritoriales américaines — comme le Patriot Act ou le Cloud Act — ont démontré que les données stockées aux États-Unis, ou sur des serveurs contrôlés par des entreprises américaines, peuvent être légalement accessibles par leurs services de renseignement.


Autrement dit, lorsque des organisations françaises utilisent Zoom ou Microsoft Teams, leurs données peuvent être consultées par les autorités américaines, sans notification préalable ni droit de regard.

C’est dans ce contexte que PeoplMap affirme son positionnement 100 % français : hébergement local, infrastructure souveraine, respect total du RGPD. En centralisant l’ensemble des échanges et métadonnées sur le territoire national, PeoplMap permet aux entreprises et aux collectivités de reprendre le contrôle sur leur patrimoine informationnel.

"Dans un monde instable, sécuriser les flux numériques, c’est sécuriser notre autonomie", souligne Akram Ben Yahia, CEO d’Advyteam, éditeur de la solution.

2. Une alternative écologique aux plateformes internationales

On parle souvent de pollution numérique sans en mesurer l’ampleur. Pourtant, chaque échange vidéo implique le transfert massif de données entre continents, mobilisant une quantité considérable de serveurs, câbles sous-marins, et centres de données. Le MIT estime qu’une heure de visioconférence peut émettre entre 150 g et 1 kg de CO2, selon le service utilisé et le nombre de participants.


PeoplMap apporte une réponse concrète à cette problématique : en traitant les flux de données localement, au plus proche des utilisateurs, elle réduit la distance parcourue par les paquets numériques et donc leur consommation énergétique. Cette optimisation est invisible pour l’utilisateur, mais impactante pour la planète.

Cette démarche s’inscrit dans un mouvement plus global pour un numérique durable, où chaque choix technique devient aussi un acte écologique.

3. Une expérience collaborative réinventée

Mais PeoplMap ne se contente pas d’être éthique et écologique. Elle propose aussi une expérience utilisateur totalement repensée, adaptée aux nouvelles exigences du travail hybride.

Au lieu de simples “tuiles vidéo” côte à côte, PeoplMap recrée de véritables espaces virtuels immersifs, où les utilisateurs peuvent voir qui est où, se déplacer librement entre les salles, rejoindre des discussions à la volée ou “frapper à la porte” d’un collègue. Cette navigation intuitive simule les interactions informelles du bureau physique — ces fameux “moments de couloir” — essentiels à la créativité collective.


Chaque salle peut être personnalisée : bureau individuel, salle de réunion, espace de pause ou d’idéation. Les entreprises peuvent ainsi refléter leur culture dans leur environnement numérique, tout en intégrant leurs outils (documents, tableaux blancs, vidéos, CRM) directement dans la plateforme.
