What Aranet does

Aranet is a French IT services company (Société à responsabilité limitée) headquartered in Machemont, Oise, in the Hauts-de-France region. Founded approximately in 1999, the firm delivers integrated IT outsourcing, network engineering, cybersecurity, hosting, hardware procurement, and custom web-based intranet/extranet development to small and medium-sized enterprises, with additional exposure to healthcare, energy, and public-sector clients. The company operates through three specialized technical departments covering systems and network engineering, network and micro solutions, and intranet/extranet development, and explicitly references 25 years of accumulated expertise as a core selling point.

The underlying technology stack is centered on conventional IT infrastructure services — internet access provisioning, site interconnection, network core management, DNS/PHP/ASP hosting, email services, and bespoke web tool development — augmented by third-party enterprise solutions delivered through vendor partner channels. Aranet holds Gold-tier partner status with Dell (hardware), Stormshield (cybersecurity), and ESET (endpoint security), Pro Partner status with Veeam (backup/DR), and additional partnerships with Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk, Ubiquiti, Nuance, and Synology. The company emphasizes compliance with French security standards as a regulatory differentiator, particularly relevant for healthcare and public-sector workloads.

Aranet's business model is a hybrid of professional services (audit, consulting, custom development), managed services (Infogérance Complète, hosting, security monitoring), and hardware pass-through sales. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagement is sales-led via direct phone and website contact, and contracts are multi-year. The go-to-market is direct B2B with no reseller or marketplace channels, and marketing activity is limited to a single website and phone inquiry funnel. No funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors are recorded, indicating a founder-managed, self-funded operating model with no disclosed revenue figures.
