An approach that involves reforming governance and security strategy
Levallois-Perret, June 19, 2019. Micropole, an international consulting and innovative technology group specializing in Digital Experience, Data Intelligence & Performance, Data Governance & Architecture, continues its development focused on innovation and added value, and launches Go Cloud and Security. This offering, perfectly complementary to its existing data activities, is a response to the Group's customers' needs for data protection and prevention against cyber-attacks, in a context where, according to IDC, 90% of French companies will have adopted several Public Cloud services and platforms by 2020.
The cloud, the reference for strategic IT projects for companies
Massive migration to the public cloud, a technological environment that delivers performance, agility, flexibility and ultra-fast deployment, is impacting business models and organization (data, IT services, applications...).

Assessing the opportunities for companies to move to the Cloud, and assisting them in choosing the best platforms, associated services and Cloud operators.

Micropole's cloud offering is based on competence hubs created around the solutions of its partners AWS, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce and Alibaba Cloud.
Reform governance and security solutions in place
In a context of migration to the public cloud and rapid adoption of innovations (IoT, Machine Learning, Big Data...), companies are increasingly exposed to IT threats. The number of cyber attacks continues to grow significantly (+41% per year in France*), requiring a change in the security of information systems.
Companies need new governance, tools and services for security.

"The adoption of the public cloud is a strong trend within large companies that we have been supporting for years on all their data-related issues. Amplified by the multiplication of applications and data, this phenomenon represents a profound change that, if not managed properly, can quickly become problematic. Companies migrating to the public cloud often minimize the security of this new environment and the impact on their governance. Our role is to help them understand this strategic shift in its entirety so that they can gain a real competitive advantage," commented Christian Poyau, Chairman and CEO of Micropole Group.
