R1 S.p.a.

What R1 S.p.a. does

R1 S.p.A. is a privately-held Italian System Integrator founded in Rome in January 1994 by Giancarlo Stoppaccioli (originally as Roma1Edp), operating as the capogruppo of the R1 Group — a network comprising five wholly-owned subsidiaries (Eurome, G-way, Cyber Bee, Trice Digital, R1 Lease) that deliver adjacent specialized services. The company provides ICT consulting, system integration, data center, cloud and multi-cloud, networking, virtualization, backup and disaster recovery, and cybersecurity services to public-sector and private-sector enterprises across Italy. Its go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales executed by Technical Account Managers (TAM) and Business Development Managers (BDM), supported by a five-phase methodology (listening, analysis, solution design, execution, monitoring/reporting) and staffed by senior professionals holding national and international certifications.

Technically, R1 S.p.A. is technology-agnostic and deliberately avoids vendor lock-in, selecting and integrating solutions across a broad partner stack. Core technical pillars include hyperconverged infrastructure based on Nutanix (Nutanix Partner Premier), Dell data protection and storage (Dell Titanium Service certified for PowerStore and Unity), virtualization via VMware by Broadcom and Citrix for desktop virtualization, backup and ransomware protection via Veeam and ExaGrid (the latter brought to Italy exclusively by R1), networking via Allied Telesis and Aruba, cybersecurity via Cyber Bee and partners including Reevo and Sangfor, and network visibility/automation via IP Fabric. The 24/7 Operation Center provides managed services with real-time monitoring and proactive intervention, and the company maintains five ISO certifications (ISO/IEC 27001:2024, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 14064-1, ISO 45001:2023) plus the Italian AGCM Legal Rating of 2 Stars++ and four consecutive years of Cribis Prime Company recognition.

Commercially, R1 S.p.A. monetizes across six revenue streams: consulting (FinOps, benchmark analyses, technology roadmaps), project management, managed services, data center solutions, networking solutions, and cloud/multi-cloud services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured deal-by-deal through the direct enterprise sales motion. Customer segments are verticalized across Public Administration (primary), Banking and Finance, Healthcare, and secondarily Transportation and Logistics, Large Retail, Industry, Energy, Gaming, and Fashion. Operations are domestic-only — five offices across Italy (Rome HQ, Milan, Perugia hosting the security Competence Center, Naples, Turin) — with no disclosed international footprint. Public customers include Centro Agroalimentare Roma, Gruppo Banca Popolare del Lazio, Gruppo Star S.p.A. (Star Holding), an Italian Public Administration entity supporting ~5,000 virtual workstations, and a logistics-sector network refresh.
