Leading European cinema circuit, Pathé Cinemas, commits to Vista Cloud
Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX:VGL) is delighted to announce that Pathé Cinemas, the
largest cinema exhibitor in continental Europe, has become the latest existing Vista Group client to
commit to Vista Cloud.
The 5-year agreement will see Vista Cloud deployed across all of Pathé Cinemas’ 129 sites (1,300+
screens) over multiple countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Senegal,
Tunisia, Morocco and Ivory Coast. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with
the Vista Cloud commercials effective from 1 January 2024.
Pathé Cinemas is set to take advantage of the entire Vista Cloud enterprise offering, including all of its
advanced capabilities. The agreement replaces the existing on-premise and managed customer
environment agreements with Pathé across the territories, and builds on an existing partnership
between the parties for the resale of the Pathé developed self-checkout and e-gate solutions that
integrate with Vista Group’s platform.
Pathé’s Chief Information Officer, Jean-Christophe Désire, anticipates mutual success through the
agreement with Vista Group.
“Innovation is at the core of Pathé DNA since the beginning, back in 1896. Tomorrow, Vista Cloud will
enable us to push the boundaries of customer journey excellence and best-in-class digital experiences.
Our partnership in off-the-shelf advanced operational solutions will also benefit the industry and
ultimately moviegoers.”
Vista Group CEO, Stuart Dickinson, expressed his enthusiasm in supporting a key client like Pathé on
their journey to Cloud. “Our goal is to support Pathé Cinemas via Vista Cloud’s best-in-class solution so
they can focus on their own customers, the moviegoers,” says Stuart Dickinson.
“We are confident that this new partnership will empower Pathé to do just that, by enabling greater
operational efficiency and providing timely innovation that will continue to keep them ahead in their
markets. As a leading cinema exhibitor with widespread presence across Europe, we look forward to
seeing Pathé’s continued success in the industry.”
Pathé Cinemas joins a growing list of Vista Group clients committing to Vista Group’s market leading
SaaS solutions.
