IT & AI consulting

Leaner, more resilient, sovereign IT projects, augmented by AI.

Cloud bills spiralling, a recovery plan that has never been tested, data scattered across subcontractors subject to foreign law, AI adopted without a framework: we work across four areas of expertise, from independent audit to implementation, using data from our own observatories.

Cost Killer

Cut IT and cloud costs for good

Full audit of IT spending (cloud, licences, SaaS, managed services, telecoms): we identify potential savings and deliver them, without degrading service.

  • Cloud bill audit and FinOps: right-sizing, commitments, unused resources
  • Rationalisation of licences and redundant SaaS tools
  • Price benchmarking with the NextHop comparison tool and supplier renegotiation
  • Costed savings plan, lighter working capital and CAPEX / OPEX trade-offs for each scenario
Resilience BCP / DRP

Keep running when everything stops

Design, implementation and testing of your business continuity and disaster recovery plans, aligned with your business priorities and obligations (NIS2, DORA, HDS).

  • Business impact analysis (BIA) and RTO / RPO objectives per application
  • Multi-site or European multi-cloud standby architecture
  • Immutable backups and ransomware protection
  • Regular failover drills and documented procedures
Sovereign data chains

Control where your data goes and who can access it

Mapping and securing the entire data chain, from collection to archiving: hosting, processing, subcontractors and the law applicable at each link.

  • Dependency audit: cloud, DNS, email, SaaS, trackers (CLOUD Act, FISA 702)
  • Assessment of reversibility and exit costs
  • Roadmap to costed European alternatives
  • Migration, encryption and access governance
AI in the enterprise

Deploy AI usefully and with confidence

From idea to production: identifying high-value use cases, choosing models and their hosting, secure deployment and change management, in line with the AI Act and the GDPR.

  • Workshops to identify and prioritise use cases
  • Choice of models (open source, European, API) and hosting, costs included
  • Secure deployment: internal assistants, search across your documents, automations
  • Governance (AI Act, GDPR, confidentiality) and team training

Who is it for?

CIOs, CISOs, executive and finance leadership

  • Local authorities, public bodies and State operators
  • Finance and procurement: IT costs, working capital and CAPEX / OPEX trade-offs
  • Mid-sized companies and SMEs subject to NIS2, DORA or HDS (business continuity)
  • Organisations preparing a cloud or SecNumCloud tender
  • Teams looking to reduce their dependency on hyperscalers
  • Business units that want to integrate AI into their processes
A measurable financial impact: working capital and a CAPEX / OPEX view
  • Lower working capital: licences and prepaid commitments rationalised, supplier payment schedules renegotiated, less cash tied up in IT.
  • CAPEX / OPEX view: CAPEX means investing today to have the capacity to be free tomorrow. Purchase, lease or pay-as-you-go: each scenario is costed over its lifetime (total cost, depreciation, dependency created).
