What Tims does
TIMS is a French privately held IT and telecom systems integrator, operator, and hoster founded in 1988 and headquartered in Limonest (Lyon), with a secondary office in Bourg-lès-Valence. The company serves approximately 2,000 active PME and ETI clients and 80,000 end users, primarily across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, positioning itself as a single accountable partner for enterprise communication, network infrastructure, cybersecurity, private cloud, and managed IT services.
Its core technology offering is structured as an Operator-Hoster-Integrator trinity: telecom services span multi-operator mobile fleets (Orange, Bouygues, SFR), SIP trunking, UCaaS (3CX Titanium, Enreach EUPCLOUD, RingCentral RingEX), Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, omnichannel contact center (RingCentral RingCX), and Yealink videoconferencing; network infrastructure covers FTTH/FTTO internet access, 4G/5G connectivity, site interconnection (L3VPN, L2 up to 100 Gbps, SD-WAN via Fortinet), and Aruba LAN/Wi-Fi; cybersecurity bundles SentinelOne EDR, Microsoft Defender, Hornetsecurity and Mailinblack email security, and a managed SOC 24/7 operated with Cyna; infrastructure includes on-premises deployments, private cloud in Tier III+ certified French datacenters (nLighten, XPR, SFR Business Netcenter), Beemo Technologie backup, and DRaaS. All services are coordinated through a centralized four-pillar Service Center (user support, MCO, real-time supervision, managed services) under a single contract and point of contact.
TIMS makes money primarily through recurring managed-services contracts, multi-year mobile and connectivity subscriptions, Microsoft 365 licensing and integration fees, and project-based hardware/software resale (HP/HPE, Aruba, Yealink, Samsung Knox). GTM combines direct field enterprise sales targeting regional PME/ETI with channel partnerships into group purchasing organizations (Séquence, APOGÉES, ASTRE, Evolutrans) and co-sell motions with technology partners; marketing is led by SEO-driven web content, LinkedIn presence, and regional event sponsorships.
