What ACCI does

ACCI infrastructures informatiques is a Quebec-based, founder-owned IT infrastructure firm founded in 1984 by Bernard Risi. The company specializes in hybrid IT architecture spanning data center, cloud, edge, and AI-ready infrastructure, and serves medium-sized and large Quebec enterprises and institutions through turnkey, end-to-end engagements covering consulting, design, hardware and software resale, implementation, training, and 24/7 managed support. Its delivery model is direct enterprise field sales led from Quebec City, supported by a secondary Montreal office, with project capability extending across North America.

The company organizes its offering around six core service lines: consulting and digital transformation advisory; data center architecture (room design, HVAC and power planning, server and lifecycle planning); servers and systems acquisition and lifecycle management; storage and protection (traditional, hybrid, hyperconverged, ransomware protection, immutable backup); software solutions (Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, Veeam, Palo Alto, Red Hat, SAP HANA); and networks (Aruba, Juniper, AI-powered automation, NaaS). Differentiated technical depth sits in AI-ready infrastructure (HPC, GPU integration, liquid cooling), Zero Trust cybersecurity, and certified multi-vendor integrations such as Veeam Availability Suite on HPE storage and HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud.

Revenue is generated through a quote-based, project-driven mix of professional services (consulting, design, implementation), hardware and software resale under privileged manufacturer agreements with HPE, VMware, Microsoft, Palo Alto, Red Hat, Fortinet, Qumulo, Aruba, Nutanix, Schneider Electric, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, and others, and recurring managed services and 24/7 support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The named customer base spans defense/security (Rheinmetall), manufacturing and pulp & paper (Kruger), commodities (Glencore), agro/aerospace (ADM), insurance (Beneva, CAA), travel technology (Softvoyage), government investment (Investissement Québec), and retail (Tanguay).
