Frédéric Artru (born October 7, 1969) is a French entrepreneur born in Pau, France. He is best known for his work as co-author of the Versit CTI Encyclopedia and the specifications of Versit's protocols as well as the founder of Odisei, a French-based software company that achieved the highest return on investment on a time-basis for a French-based technology company (50 to 1 ROI for seed investors). Most recently he has been active in technology and investment ventures in the telecommunications industry.
Frédéric Artru was brought into the Versit Consortium in January 1995 as protocol and communications architecture expert. He joined Michael Bayer at Apple Computer, Inc. as part of the Versit CTI Encyclopedia (VCTIE) team. The Versit CTI Encyclopedia is a 3,000-page, 6 volume set of specifications defining how computer and telephony systems are to interact and become interoperable. Frédéric was specifically responsible for defining, writing, validating and implementing the three CTI Protocols (one was based on ECMA's CTI specifications, one on Novell/Lucent TSAPI and the third was designed by Frédéric Artru to support small footprint devices such as cellphones.
These specifications are now industry standards as part of the ECMA, ECTF as well as ITU telephony standards. While at Apple Computer, Frédéric also held several senior engineering positions related to communication architectures for existing and future Macintosh operating systems.
In 1998, Frédéric returned to France and founded Odisei, a Sophia-Antipolis based startup developing the world’s first hosted iPBX technology. Frédéric funded Odisei through a round of business angels to sustain a team of 10 developers for 18 months. Frédéric based the iPBX technology on the Versit CTI Encyclopedia, which he co-authored while at Apple Computer, providing technical direction in cooperation with Odisei’s Director of development.
