Not in the standard scope: INSEE classifies the publishing of standard software in 58.29, under publishing, not in 62. A custom selection can add sub-classes 58.29A to 58.29C; it is quoted separately.

Our database for France holds 1,577,933 records (as of 4 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.
Export of the whole industry: €409 (full price). Selections by region, department or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 151,829 businesses in France according to Eurostat, structural business statistics (sbs_ovw_act) (reference year 2024, data as of 30 September 2026). Divisions 62 computer programming, consultancy and related activities (139,348) and 63 information service activities (12,481) combined; publishing, broadcasting and telecommunications are not included. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
Choose the sub-classes that match your offer (development, consultancy, maintenance, hosting), then the region. When recruiting resellers, making the website a required field lets you check the partnerships they display.
Our records do not yet carry a NAF code: selecting by activity (NAF subclass) will only be possible for records matched with the Sirene database (matching in progress). The quote states what can be done today: area and required fields.
The official figure covers divisions 62 and 63, without software publishing. It counts enterprises and says nothing about their size.
Price of the whole industry: €409. A selection by region, sub-industry or required fields is quoted individually; the whole-industry price is not a price promise for the filtered selection.

The sector corresponds to divisions 62 and 63 of NAF rév. 2. Division 62 distinguishes programming (62.01Z), consultancy (62.02A), third-party maintenance (62.02B), computer facilities management, i.e. on-site operation of the client’s systems (62.03Z), and other IT activities (62.09Z), where INSEE places software installation and disaster recovery among others.
Publishers of standard software are not included: INSEE classifies them in 58.29, under publishing; a custom selection can add them. Website design and development belong to programming (62.01Z), not to web portals (63.12Z). News agencies (63.91Z) are also part of division 63.
| NAF rév. 2 | Official INSEE title | What the code covers |
|---|---|---|
| 62.01Z | Computer programming activities | custom development, websites and web pages, software adaptation |
| 62.02A | Hardware and software consultancy | systems design, development consultancy, user training |
| 62.02B | Third party maintenance of computer systems and applications | software maintenance for third parties |
| 62.03Z | Computer facilities management activities | on-site operation of the client’s systems |
| 62.09Z | Other information technology and computer service activities | PC and software installation, disaster recovery |
| 63.11Z | Data processing, hosting and related activities | hosting providers and data processing for third parties |
| 63.12Z | Web portals | search engines and sites acting as portals |
| 58.29C | Application software publishing | outside the sector: software publishers, can be added on quote |
As far as we know, IT consultancy and services require no profession-specific authorisation. The public signals are registration and optional listings.
The 15 columns supplied are described on the export page.
Sub-class 62.01Z covers large IT service companies and freelance developers alike. The export does not give headcount: to target established businesses, requiring a website and a phone number is a practical filter, though not a measure of size.
A provider working remotely may be registered far from its clients: the département, derived from the postcode, reflects the establishment’s address, not where it works.
In 63.11Z, hosting sits alongside data processing for third parties. INSEE specifies that a business that uses computers only as a tool is classified by the nature of its activity: a translation agency equipped with software is therefore not here.
We distribute backup solutions and are looking for resellers among third-party maintenance companies (62.02B) and other IT service businesses (62.09Z) in Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, with a website and email address. How many records have a NAF code?
Use cases

Questions
Not in the standard scope: INSEE classifies the publishing of standard software in 58.29, under publishing, not in 62. A custom selection can add sub-classes 58.29A to 58.29C; it is quoted separately.
The NAF does not always allow it: building websites falls under programming (62.01Z), just like developing business applications. Each company’s website, included in the export where known, remains the best way to sort them.
According to the CNIL, email prospecting of professionals can rest on legitimate interest when the subject of the message relates to their profession; the person must be informed and able to object easily. A developer trading in their own name is still a natural person, so their data fall under the GDPR. Our summary: B2B prospecting by email and phone.
