Bijection vs ChapsVision
ChapsVision is a French software group that has built a broad sovereign data offering, much of it through acquisitions such as Sinequa for enterprise search and Systran for translation. Its Argonos platform prepares and governs data, builds ontologies, and adds analysis, search and AI on top. It runs entirely under the customer’s control, on premises, air-gapped or in a sovereign cloud, and in 2026 French and German intelligence services chose it as an alternative to Palantir.
Bijection is a smaller and narrower product. It is a transactional database for your ontology and operations, defined in TypeScript in your repository, that sends changes back to your systems with approvals and a record of every change. It runs as a managed, single-tenant service that we operate, not on your premises.

Choose ChapsVision if
- You need the platform on your own premises or air-gapped, from a European vendor.
- Your work is investigation, intelligence or search across very large volumes of documents, audio and video.
- You want enterprise search, translation and transcription from the same vendor as your data platform.
Choose Bijection if
- You would rather define the business in code, reviewed and versioned like the rest of your software, and let coding agents write most of it.
- Your processes change records in other systems, and every change has to be approved, recorded and reconciled.
- A managed, single-tenant environment suits you better than running the platform yourself.
