Auranext

What Auranext does

Auranext is a French IT services and telecom operator founded in 1996, headquartered in Clichy with a regional agency in Toulouse, operating under the TRIQUETRA holding company. It delivers bundled IT outsourcing — managed services (AURAgérance), sovereign cloud hosting (AURAcloud), externalized backup (AURAbackup), hosted IP telephony across Teams/3CX/XIVO variants (AURAcom), multi-operator fiber and SD-WAN/MPLS links (AURAlink/SD MPLS), managed WiFi (AURAwifi), and cybersecurity (Vigile Virtuel SOC, AURAprotect/Mailinblack, Trend Micro) — to small and medium enterprises, primarily in Île-de-France. Core infrastructure rests on three Tier III data centers in the Paris region (via Interxion and Equinix PoP), HPE GEN10 Full Flash servers, and a proprietary SD MPLS network fabric using VxLAN and multi-carrier aggregation across Orange, SFR, Colt, Kosc, and Ielo.

The company's revenue model is dominated by recurring monthly subscriptions priced per user or per site — Microsoft 365 licensing (€4.20–€10.50 HT/user/month), AURAgérance managed services per user, AURAcom telephony per user, and AURAbackup per machine or volume — supplemented by project-based professional services and one-off hardware sales. Go-to-market is direct field sales targeting French SMEs, supported by inside sales and inbound quote requests, with a marketing mix spanning LinkedIn, YouTube, blog content, monthly webinars (Rendez-vous du Jeudi), and a client extranet portal (VISU). The customer base is a long-tail of SMBs across diverse verticals (cleaning, eyewear, education, commodity brokerage, surveying, legal, transport, design), with multiple 10+ year client relationships evidencing low churn. Reported revenue is €14.1M with 65 collaborators; the company has carried out one disclosed acquisition (RIFE, December 2022) and is founder-controlled through TRIQUETRA with no external venture capital or public listing.
