What A2i does

A2i (legal name A2I INFORMATIQUE) is a privately held French IT services company founded in 1996, headquartered in Paris (11 rue de Florence, 75008) with a second office in Coulounieix-Chamiers in the Dordogne region of Southwest France. The company provides outsourced IT services — DSI externalisée (fractional CIO), infogérance (infrastructure management), cybersecurity, VoIP/telephony, fibre internet and SD-WAN interconnection, cloud and hosting, and hardware provisioning — to French small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with 50 to 500 employees that lack an internal IT department. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a free initial IT audit, with strategic engagement at the client's leadership level (DAF, RH, DG) and regular on-site presence; the website also captures inbound demand through SEO and contact forms.

The underlying technology stack is an integration of best-of-breed third-party vendor products rather than proprietary platforms: ESET and WatchGuard for cybersecurity, Ninja One for endpoint and device supervision, Microsoft (Office 365, Teams Phone) and 3CX for unified communications and telephony, and Orange and OVHcloud for fibre, VoIP, and cloud infrastructure. A2i's differentiation sits in the integration layer and in acting as a single accountable point of contact across these vendors, packaged with strategic IT advisory (roadmap, budget, vendor selection) and compliance positioning around RGPD and NIS2.

The business model is multi-stream and primarily services-led: managed service contracts (infogérance and DSI externalisée) billed on a modular subscription basis, recurring telecom and cybersecurity subscriptions, hardware pass-through sales, and project-based professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue, ARR, customer counts, and headcount beyond the 11-50 employee band are not disclosed in the available data.
