Why "Improvize" ?

In everyday language improvize means “making the best of things with the means you have at your disposal”.

The word has a negative connotation as it is often used when work is done hurriedly, in a rush. In a perfect world, receiving a catalogue of works, filing it, collecting royalties from a multitude of sources, analysing and paying them etc... would be a simple task. In real life however, files arrive at the last minute, are not in the correct format and codes are not universal... Our software solutions are not designed like sheet music that have to be followed note by note. On the contrary, we think of them as instruments you can use in ways adapted to any situation. Anyone familiar with music knows how important improvisation is, as the Holy Grail of the musician. It demands a simultaneous knowledge of theory, a command of an instrument and a capacity to create something new with others.

Improvize, a long and steady journey.

Throughout the years, Jean-Christophe Boggio has set high standards in building his software : always thinking ahead, adapting to the moving industry and never forgetting the end users. Curious ? Here is a preview of the highlights of the company.

1989

Creation of the company

Jean Christophe Boggio decides to start working on his own software creating the entity Cabinet Jean-Christophe Boggio - not very original in its naming, I agree.
1992

Le Sage

As a result of several encounters with people from the music industry, Joëlle Galante, Max Amphoux and Claude Kargès, Le Sage bit by bit becomes the french software that was missing for music publishers
1999

Inpro

At that time there wasn't any alternative for the independent producers so Trema ordered the first Inpro. The same year, "Les presses de Sciences Po "ordered "Aïda", a software designed for the calculation of royalty statements for the books industry.
