[Press] ITS Group is gradually establishing itself as a major cybersecurity player in the Lyon region

29 March 2022

ITS Group, a national player, has been a partner of the OL for 5 years and is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. A quarter of a century, which the group chaired by Jean-Michel Benard, has used to establish itself as a recognised IT specialist for major accounts.

Based in Boulogne-Billancourt, the company has gradually moved into France. In the Lyon region, it now has more than 250 consultants in Infrastructure and IT Operations, including around 60 in Cybersecurity. Florian Ondel, Director for Eastern France, also based in the capital of the Gauls, explains: "Historically, we have supported our major clients in the engineering of their infrastructures and applications, and it is only natural that we have taken on the task of securing them over the last few years. Cybersecurity is a major issue, particularly in the current context, for all the large national and international structures for which we work.

In order to establish itself as a reference partner for this clientele of large accounts, ITS Group has grown by means of a strategy combining organic growth and targeted acquisitions.

 We have real expertise in external growth.confirms Florian Ondel. The latter has just finalised a strategic operation for ITS Group's activity in Lyon, with the purchase of the consulting activity
of the HIUMA company. " This network and cybersecurity pure player allows us to strengthen our cybersecurity skills." The operation was carried out at the end of 2021 and we finalised the integration of HIUMA on 1 January 2022", he explains. With around thirty high-level consultants, this Lyon-based company is positioned in a market niche and its acquisition represents real added value for ITS Group.

We are very happy to welcome in our teams the experts of HIUMA, whose high quality we know. It is a real pleasure for me to make this connection because HIUMA and ITS Group share the same DNA around human values and customer satisfaction, reaffirms the East France director of the company. We are starting 2022 optimistically and ambitiously with 45 recruitments by the end of March, which will allow us to secure the development of our Cloud, DevOps and Cybersecurity activities. We are in line with our annual target of 150 recruitments in the Lyon region. »
