What It-bs Sarl does

It-bs Sarl (ITBS) is a private French IT services firm (SARL) founded in 2009 and headquartered in Belfort, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. The company operates as a regional managed services provider (MSP) and IT integrator, with a team of 1–10 employees bringing 15–25 years of cumulative IT infrastructure experience. Its director of publication is Christophe ROYEN, and the firm is registered with RCS Belfort under number 514 828 045 with €20,000 share capital.

ITBS organizes its offering around six pillars: hardware supply (PCs, Macs, servers, SAN/NAS, networking equipment), managed IT services (infogérance, audit, consulting, data recovery), backup and business continuity (cloud backup, PRA/PCA, file replication), software solutions (Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Dolibarr ERP), security (Stormshield firewalls/UTM, antivirus, SSL gateways, web access control), and cloud (Office 365, Azure, Azure Pack, SPLA, private datacenters via OVH). The firm holds Microsoft Silver Solutions Cloud PME and Authorized Education Partner (AEP) status, Stormshield Gold Partner, and Veeam Silver Cloud Service Provider / Silver ProPartner certifications.

The business model is a mix of managed service contracts, one-time integration projects, and third-party licensing pass-through. ITBS serves a diversified regional client base organized around five target verticals: liberal professions (lawyers, accountants), PME-PMI (manufacturing, R&D, engineering), artisans and merchants, healthcare, and public-sector administrations. At the time of the last disclosed inventory, the firm was managing 213 physical/virtual servers, 1,568 Windows workstations, 124 Mac workstations, and 416 TB of client data. During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, ITBS deployed approximately 250 VPN/remote access connections within roughly three weeks, demonstrating the operational capacity of the firm to scale remote-work infrastructure under time pressure.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Econocom: French-headquartered IT services and solutions provider offering managed services, infrastructure, and digital transformation to European enterprises and SMEs. Comparable because it operates in the same French IT services market with overlapping managed infrastructure, cloud, and security offerings, though at much larger scale and geographic reach.
• Devoteam: French-headquartered IT consulting firm specializing in cloud, cybersecurity, and digital transformation across Europe. Comparable because it competes for the same French SME/mid-market IT services wallet, with overlapping Microsoft, cloud, and security competencies.
• Bechtle AG: German-headquartered European IT solutions provider combining hardware reselling, managed services, and cloud for SMEs and large enterprises. Comparable because its business model — bundling hardware supply, managed services, and security — closely mirrors ITBS's go-to-market.
• Atea: Nordic-headquartered IT infrastructure and managed-services provider serving SMEs, enterprises, and public sector across Northern Europe. Comparable because it competes in the same broad managed-infrastructure and cybersecurity space, though at materially larger scale.
• Capgemini: Global IT services and consulting giant headquartered in France, with deep managed services and infrastructure practice. Comparable because it competes in the French IT services market at the upper end; ITBS addresses the same SME buyer but at vastly smaller scale.

Direct peers

• Hardis Group: French IT consulting and services firm providing managed services, cloud, and application solutions for mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable because it bundles infrastructure management, consulting, and cloud services for French businesses — a direct analogue to ITBS's bundled MSP model.
• SCC: Large European IT services and solutions provider offering managed services, infrastructure, and security to enterprise and public-sector clients across multiple countries. Comparable because it delivers a similar mix of hardware distribution, managed services, and security solutions to professional clients.
• NFrance: French regional cloud hosting and managed-infrastructure provider serving SMEs and public institutions in northern France. Comparable because it offers a similar mix of private cloud hosting, managed services, and SME-focused IT support in a comparable French regional footprint.

Others

• OVHcloud: French-headquartered cloud infrastructure provider hosting websites, private cloud, and dedicated servers. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler and infrastructure provider that ITBS already uses for web hosting; not a direct competitor, but shapes the supply side of ITBS's stack.
• Stormshield (Stormshield by Stormshield): French cybersecurity vendor specializing in firewalls and UTM (the very products for which ITBS holds Gold Partner status). Comparable as a key technology partner and supply-side anchor of ITBS's security practice rather than a direct competitor.
