Caisse des Dépôts is a major public institution that has played a central role in financing the French economy since 1816. With more than 127,000 employees, the organization leads large-scale projects that require strong coordination, engagement, and rigor, especially when it comes to data security.

In such a demanding environment, collaborative tools are more than just facilitators: they must be reliable, robust, and ready to use instantly.

The challenge: keeping things simple in a complex environment

At Caisse des Dépôts, the challenge goes far beyond simply “making meetings more engaging.”

It’s about striking the right balance between:

• Large-scale collaboration across the organization
• A wide range of formats (in-person, remote, hybrid)
• Strict requirements around IT security and personal data protection

Any new tool must reflect a clear reality: it needs to be easy for everyone to use, with no friction—while fully complying with a strict regulatory framework.

The solution: a secure, high-performing collaborative platform

Adopted in 2017, Beekast has gradually become a go-to tool across the organization.

Today, it is used to:

• Structure and facilitate internal meetings
• Energize internal events
• Support transformation initiatives

What made the difference?
Not just the features, but Beekast’s ability to adapt to the specific constraints of Caisse des Dépôts.

“We worked closely with the Beekast teams on security and personal data challenges. The tool evolved to fully meet our requirements.”
— Étienne Berling

In practice:

• Login methods were adapted
• GDPR requirements were integrated
• The product evolved based on user feedback

A key factor in an environment where IT standards are particularly high.

A tool embedded in daily workflows

Today, Beekast is no longer limited to a few isolated use cases—it is fully embedded in everyday practices:

• Regular use in meetings
• Broad rollout across teams
• Multiple sessions launched every day

“There isn’t a single day at Caisse des Dépôts without several Beekast sessions being used!” — Étienne Berling

This widespread adoption is driven by two key factors:

• Ease of use, even in a complex environment
• The responsiveness of the Beekast teams

More structured, more dynamic meetings

Beyond the technical aspects, Beekast is changing how teams collaborate:

• Meetings are more dynamic
• Discussions are better structured
• Participants are more actively involved

The tool supports key organizational needs such as:

• Change management initiatives
• Team coordination
• Facilitating group sessions

With one clear benefit: making interactions more effective without adding complexity.

What Beekast brings to Caisse des Dépôts

• A solution built for large organizations: robust and compliant
• Easy adoption: quick onboarding for all employees
• Better-structured interactions: more effective meetings and events
• An evolving tool: aligned with specific organizational requirements
• A responsive partner: attentive and proactive support teams

In large organizations, performance depends as much on collaboration as it does on trust in the tools being used.

“The Beekast teams are highly responsive, which really makes onboarding easy.”
