Talan is merging with Ai3 to become a leader in Cloud and Modern Workplace solutions

Talan announces its merger with Ai3, a company specialising in Microsoft solutions.

Talan announces its merger with Ai3, a company specialising in Microsoft solutions. With nearly 300 certified experts, Ai3 has developed a real strike force covering the majority of the publisher's solutions. The combination of the Talan Group's expertise with that of Ai3 enables the group to become a benchmark player in Cloud and Modern Workplace solutions covering the main publishers on the market.
 
At a time when companies are facing an acceleration of their digitalisation needs, the arrival of Ai3 within the Talan Group will enable the creation of synergies and the development of the group's offer throughout France. With complementary and additional locations, the Talan Group will be able to offer its clients and prospects the expertise of local consultants to meet a very wide range of needs.
 
This merger will also enable the Talan Group to continue to develop its Modern Workplace strategy, which aims to positively transform organisations through a resolutely digital and human approach. Indeed, as a winner of the Great Place To Work awards for several years in a row, Talan has in its DNA the desire to develop a digital strategy that places people at the heart of the issues by accompanying their changes and developments.
 
At a time when the global economy is facing major social and environmental challenges, this rapprochement provides an immediate and operational response to major groups to facilitate migration to teleworking, the management of their data throughout the value chain and the creation of the indicators necessary for responsible monitoring of their evolution.
 
"This industrial project is part of our ambition plan for 2024 in which we plan to develop Modern Workplace solutions as close as possible to our customers. Ai3 has high-level expertise that complements Talan's to enable us to become a key player in Microsoft solutions and, more generally, to offer our customers all the offerings of Cloud publishers on the market," says Mehdi Houas, Chairman of the Talan Group.
 
"We are very pleased to welcome the Ai3 teams, with whom we share a common vision of the market. Thanks to the variety of expertise that joins us, we will be able to develop our ambitions and become, in the coming months, one of the leading players in Microsoft solutions and, more generally, modern workplace solutions for our major customers," says Gérard Barbosa, Managing Director of Talan Solutions.
 
"As a pure-player on Microsoft solutions, we are very proud to expand our playing field by joining the Talan Group, with whom we share the same values. This will allow us to change dimension and rapidly expand our capabilities to offer large companies our expertise in the Cloud and Data domains in France and internationally. We will also benefit from the complementarities of the Talan Group with its 3,000 employees covering all the needs of companies in France and abroad," underlines Serge Jacinto, CEO of Ai3.
 
Talan and Ai3 have respectively mandated Archers and Ryder & Davis for this operation.
