What UniMedia does
UniMedia (legal entity: UniMédia Services) is a privately held French managed IT and telecommunications services provider headquartered in Beaucouzé near Angers, serving business clients across the Grand Ouest / Pays de la Loire region — specifically Maine-et-Loire and the expanding Nantes territory. Founded in 1996 and currently led by co-directors Philippe Le Goff and Nicolas Leray, the company employs 32-33 collaborators and operates with approximately 5.5 M EUR of annual revenue from a customer base of more than 1,300 professional clients.
The company's technical backbone consists of two own-operated data centers in Angers and Nantes running Nutanix hyperconvergence, which supports its hosted private cloud, Microsoft 365 administration, and 3CX telephony instances (150+). UniMedia delivers connectivity (FTTH, FTTO, IXEN, XDSL, 4G/5G backup), IP telephony across 3CX, Alcatel-Lucent OXO, Microsoft Teams Voice, and Cisco/BroadSoft Centrex, security services anchored by WatchGuard Gold Partner status (400+ gateways, 6 certified technicians) and Fortinet/Acronis/Vade/ESET tooling, enterprise WiFi (Ruckus, Ekahau, Ubiquiti — 500+ access points deployed), IT outsourcing, and collaboration hardware such as interactive screens.
The business model combines recurring managed-services subscriptions (connectivity, hosting, telephony maintenance, security subscriptions) with project-based deployment revenue (hardware sales, migrations, one-time installations) and consulting. Go-to-market is field-sales-led with dedicated account managers across the territory, supported by an inside-sales support hotline (02 85 355 555) and an event-driven demand generation program including the MADE IN ANGERS convention, Les Rencontres du Numérique de l'Ouest, and CyberMois cybersecurity awareness days with partner HUCY. The company holds vendor certifications (Microsoft Silver, 3CX Platinum, WatchGuard Gold) and is recognized as a France Num Activator (top 2% of French digital companies).
